I’ve been thinking about this a lot & it’s so s**t in the family stand. I think it’s a combination of:-
1. Football fans 20 years ago used to be mostly with your mates. Now it’s kids, wives, granny & grandads
2. Clappers half in / half out. We used to have an albeit good plastic atmosphere with clappers. Now people who have them are annoying & the rest do nothing
3. Youth are not as into it anymore
4. Singing section makes a tiny part decent but is much smaller than away end. Rest of the ground is concentrated of non vocal fans - best to have people spread out
5. I’ll get hounded for this, but the mix of women to men now at football. There’s just a lack of gang / group singing cos people take the ‘Mrs
So anyway I reckon we should create a fam stand singing section. I’m sure loads of kids would love to recreate something like that on a smaller scale.
