Proposed designated singing section at front of the canton stand?

Re: Proposed designated singing section at front of the canton stand?

The bottom of the stand isn't a designated safe standing area. Unless the plan is for a seated singing and drumming (and perhaps hokey cokey-ing, juggling, folk and ballroom dancing) section, which I rather doubt, then how could the club condone it given the ground regulations about persistent standing?

From reading that twitter thread it appears the club's hierarchy is actually organising this proposed naffness.

Since when did Cardiff City need a designated area for singing and chanting? What a load of crap.

Agreed

Bring back safe singing

To be honest, if it helps the atmosphere, then good on them. Something needed to be done, because the atmosphere most of the time is shocking.

Don’t you think that’s something to do with the shit that’s been churned out on the pitch ?

It does sound a bit Crystal Palace which im pretty sure some fans were praising on here a while back.

Who cares you dont have to join.

How many moaning are sitting on their backsides in the Ninian or Grandstand moaning about the songs or lack of atmosphere while contributing next to zero to it

To be fair the youngsters in the Canton have a right go. The Ninian Stands been poor apart from certain games since it opened.

Any atmosphere generates from the Canton as well. Virtually never from other areas.

If this improves it and the songs then great.

How many chants have ever been generated from the front of the stands, home or away? Will there be an animateur with words held up on boards to cue the songs? Can't say I'd be keen on a rubbish view and rain/wind induced hyperthermia for much of the season. Might drown out Dai Hunt though so there may be one advantage.

I agree, but the only thing I would add is that the club specifically enforced seating in the Ninian Stand, which does make generating an atmosphere very difficult.

We had four areas of note at Ninian Park; the eastern part of the Bob Bank seats, the Bob Bank terracing, the Grange End and the eastern part of the Grandstand. We are now down to one.

Thats not to say the atmosphere at NP didn't come with some drawbacks of course, but I do think having a couple of areas would be beneficial and being a bit more tolerant of standing in the ninian lower by the away fans would help.

A designated drugs section would probably do more to improve the atmosphere. I stood in front of a couple of lads who talked very loudly about how they had taken ecstasy before the recent Wales game against Belgium and they seemed to have a great time.

Maybe Big Box Little Box Cardboard Box could catch on as a new chant

I think they are called away games now. We seem to have an awful lot of fans who enjoy going for a poo together in the same cubicle.
