Create choir section in the North Bank

[Sedgers]

Not sure if this has been mooted but I think it would be a great idea to create a choir section in the new stand (even all stands). So you would allocate, say, 500 seats to those that like to start chants etc. Sitting doesn't allow the ones that want to sing to congrgate together and this may be a way around it until safe standing comes in. May have been discussed before but I think it would help with the atmosphere.

A 'choir'??? Hilarious...

 

[IrchyWolf]

Black cassocks, old gold surplices...Fantastic sight!

Yes, bring back the old NBC, most of them now in their 60s

 

[Sedgers]

Very good gents but you know what I mean.

I know we've 'picked up the ball and ran.' but I'm serious now. Imagine the visual impact...

Steve Bull could be the conductor. And before anyone says, no not dressed like the geezer from On the Buses.

Definitely a ruff idea.


B'dum tshhhh.

Bet you a tenor it won't take off

Q: How can you tell when the North Bank Choir are at your front door?
A: You don't. They can't find the key and don't know when to come in.

Good idea, I'd be willing to move if there were enough people up for it.

Count me in +1.

 

[SE10 Wolf]

Would they not be, ahem, surplus to requirements; or is that me talking cassocks? In the cab already...

 

[Sharples]

Think this need to be done in the SB too, there are little pockets of groups doing there own thing. Concregate the $$$$$$$s, get some intelligent witty songs on the go and it will be even better.

A couple that agrees. Feel vindicated now. A bit.

Nominations for Castrati are now open

 

[Sedgley Wolf]

Wouldn't this mean current North Bankers would have to move for fear of people actually singing next to them?

Very inconsiderate.

 

[BlahBlah]

We've already got one though...it's the South Bank.

Organised chanting is a bit naff. Reminds me of the albion's "Bomber Squad", quickly renamed by other fans to the "Bummer Squad"

 

[bigbluewolf]

I can see it now...

Channel 5's new programme "Football Supporter to Choral Star" where Aled Jones takes some rough-as-bear's-backside football fans and turns them into a Snowman-singing-superstars.

Every Saturday at 7.30pm.

Voting line number is 08456789 WOLF!

:goodnight:

If you want a choir then go to church this is football FFS!!

Football is a religion & Molineux is our church...

It sounds as stoopid an idea as when Liq first floated it many moons ago.

 

[Sharples]

I should add in no way do I condone 'choir'. But fans who want to sing should be seated together.

I know Liverpool did a reclaim the kop campaign about two years ago to put all the singers in one spot. Worked wonders...

 

[Apocalypse Now]

Yep it's been quiet as a morgue the two times we've been there.

Would you get excited as a Liverpool fan with Wolves coming to play you?

Its like if Bristol City came to Mol, hardly pumps you up...

To be fair the last time we played them it was rocking!

I have always found this "choir" thing to be a bit of an embarrassment. Over the years it seems to have become more important than watching the game for many. After their fifteen minutes perhaps?

The media has encouraged it of course. I find the shots of supporters outside grounds breaking into song on cue for the pre-match report toe-curling most of the time.

Football crowds will generate atmosphere naturally, depending on factors like game importance, opposition etc.

I await hysterical, reactionary posts in reply.

 

[SE10 Wolf]

For me this is another key reason why safe standing is crucial in recapturing the atmosphere at grounds...those that want to be in the (FFS) "choir" stand in or move towards that group of fans. Remember the old South Bank, the top left (if looking from the pitch) was the "hotspot" and you chose where in relation to that you wanted to be. When the game, tension, whatever, gets going it spreads organically. BTW who remembers when dear old Leeds came in the 80's and a fair number of the Shire village idiots decided to enter the South Bank? Fair play to the filth who simply opened the gates by the goal to let them "tactically retreat" on to the pitch. Never have I felt such a wave of "you really ought to leave before you get hurt" vibes from the whole terrace. Happy days.

Keep waiting, most of us couldn't care less what you think.

Valid point. They will only if allowed and this is my gripe with matchday music and goal music etc. It completely stiffles things. Plus in the southbank you get some part time knobs that just stand there expecting an atmosphere and dont contribute themselves. If you got people in one spot, then the part time bumders can join in when appropriate.

Reclaim The Southbank!!
