The 2 social media outlets you have mentioned need to be used. see the Man City group, not ultras just trying to organise all 'standers' into one area to improve the atmosphere to do the same. We need the same as this or we stand no chance.. pardon the pun.

It is mainly the band 4s who currently stand. There are however no doubt some in the Band 4 areas who would prefer to sit and some in other bands who'd like to stand. Band 4s will be dispersed. Some will upgrade, some will go for band 5 (if the club permits this), some will stop going, but there will presumably be some new ones. Also there will be more than one band 4 area.

There's not a lot that can be done until the club tell us where the bands 3 & 4 will be, but then like minded fans who want to stand need to get together to buy seats in the same area. This needs to be publicised so everyone knows, importantly including those who want to sit so they know to avoid the area. The club won't do it so fans must.

Keeping fans who want to stand and sing together is going to be vital to the atmosphere in the new stadium (unless of course you believe that atmosphere comes from bubble machines and flag wavers).

Can we try and get a thread started on here?

Standing is critical, to the point where I won't go if I can't.

Aztec, Yes, there is definitely the need for a 'STANDING' thread on this forum! trouble is, as has been pointed out a number of times, due to the lack of information it is very difficult for like minded supporters who wish to stand and sing to organise themselves as none of us in Band 4 who traditionally stand have any idea as to where the club are proposing to house us in the new ground! BOYS1991 half believe that the club are as yet undecided because they cannot predict how many of their amazing +2 founders (also known as the F**K YOU 20 year season ticket holders) offers will be taken up!

like you Aztec, BOYS1991 will find it extremely hard to continue to attend matches if our standing is not accepted.
