The world is full of compromises and this seems to be a fair one. We all would like to steam into the away fans, but as an alternative the Canton would be good to genearate atmosphere. Can we have no seats behind the goal??

Now has to gather momentum imo as the renewal forms have been issued. My seat has been at the back of the Canton since the stadium opened (formerly Grange end in Nin) and I look forward to the atmosphere every game, always rowdy etc.

We need to get all the 'boys' in there and get it proper bouncin, which imo will ignite the whole place. The away fans can be left to get on with their own thing now, its too on top steward wise etc at CCS and the fun element is being drained slowly in that respect.

Lets all be in the Canton as one as show the Prem (when we get there) how Wales' finest do it!

In the early 80's the Canton stand in NP used to be where the best atmosphere was. And the away fans were miles away on the open Grange End.

If the noise is good from there it could spread to other areas as well.

And me when I was about 14, my neigbour used to take me and a couple of other lads. Although I sat toward the back in the middle, most of the singing came from the end towards the Bob - probably only about 300-400 boys, mainly late teens, used to make a hell of a racket though under that low roof.

Although being near away fans helps the 'banter', its a losing battle the way its going, I cant see the club changing their minds, and in fairness they DO have a point . Time to show that the FANS have a plan B :lol:

Personally I won''t be moving from 115, as our group are all in there, most of us with kids, and the 4-5 of us in there who DO sing will carry on on our own anyway. we dont stand up much anyway as we are too lazy :lol:

At last!!!

Brought this up and sugeested these ideas for a singing stand on CCMB during our move to CCS when we were all debating where to buy our ST's.

Been championing the Canton on here ever since I joined this board, I love it there, I am in row V in 105 good lads there. If anything tempted to move further back where the songs tend to start.

I personally cant sit in my seat and watch City play, I find it feckin impossible!!

It's all talk, no action. Everytime. It'll be the same terrible atmosphere against Reading as it has been all season like against Leeds at home when all of them were bigging up the game and how much we detest them, it was better but it was still pretty bad.

Sorry Chippy, Liverpool Fans Glory Hunters/Part-time Fans .
A few defeats and thousands go missing.


Same for all teams though, every team has its loyal fans who will be there no matter what the situation but then every team also has its fair weather supporters. Even at Cardiff a few bad results and we see a dramtic drop in attendance. I bet if we were mid table now we'd struggle to get 15k.
