We have an active singing section - its been in the same place since August 1994.
I understand what your trying to do here mate but our fans aren't Town fans or Football fans so trying to create part of HTFC's matchday at a giants game wont happen.
The crowd proved against Wire that if the team are playing well then more people will join in the singing.....but also against Salford we saw what happens when they expect us to win or we are winning easily against the 'lesser' teams people dont bother because maybe they feel the team dont need any help!!.
Anyone is welcome to come and sit at the back and join us ...maybe by getting more singers at the back may also help as the more there the more noise to cary and maybe will bump others into joining in more.

does the singing section at HTFC games actually help the atmosphere in general though? when i went there this year with wednesday they had a few young lads near the away stand which was the singing section and although that part of the stand were singing the rest of the stand and the stadium was quiet for most of it.
the only thing we or the club could do is to encourage all people who like to sing and shout to sit in the kilner bank but it wont happen because people have their seats now and wont move,people have said they sit in the middle of the kilner bank but dont always join in the singing for fear of upsetting people around them,well the solution is to come up to the back and get more people joining in at the back which will then encourage more people to join in.
but like we've said before if people dont want to sing then we cant make them,and if people are reluctuant to join in where they sit now then they can move to the back where their voices will be more than welcomed

| If we get a good home game in challenge cup (someone with a big, loud away support) PLEASE come sit in middle as reserved seating does not matter and you will see it will make a difference.

| Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"it could easily be aranged so that no season ticket holder would be moved more than 3 seats away from where they currently sit now . if i knew how to put diagrams on the computer i could show you.'"
Not one single season ticket holder would move more than 3 seats? I don't believe that for a second. I think it would take a lot more moving than that. And a significant amount of administrative work to organise. What would you do about people who simply refused to co-operate?
Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"
3 trestle tables one at each entrance to the Riverside stand and one at the end of the Britannia stand ( ropewalk end) selling penny sweets flying saucers, jelly hearts fruit salad etc [size=150 to kids[/size. A bit like those stalls at CAS..( Inside near where they sell the C&G tickets and programmes) Would not affect current merchandising or sales etc. Would be run by volunteers ( i also wrote a whole suggestion about using volunteers organised by the club with ideas on how to sell it, " your club needs you" etc etc etc
I still think it would be a good idea. Kids and sweets always seemto go well together.
Then again maybe it was just a waste of time'"
But to what end? There wouldn't be a lot of profit in it. Kids who previously didn't want to go to the game are hardly going to be climbing over each other to get there just because they can buy a sherbert dib-dab. What would the presence of a few trestle tables full of Mojo's trigger?
What do you estimate the amount of behind the scenes work that would be involved in putting something like that in place to be? Do you really believe that volunteers would man all the tables? Who would deal with the volunteers? I suspect the potential benefits are simply outweighed by the costs.

| Fact is if we had sweet stands at the game it would cost a fiver for a sherbet dip and the reality is it's not going to improve support one bit.
What will increase supporters is winning games which will drive positive PR, cheaper match day prices (though I do feel we have some of the best prices in the game, particularly the free kids) and Bradford continuing to play poor.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that really, there isn't a great deal more the club can do, that they aren't already doing. Not realistically anyway.

| its all very well saying that the singers at the back should sit in the middle, but one of the reasons people sit in the middle is because they dont want to sit amongst loud noisy supporters so scratch that.

| ATEOTD the singing section has been in the same place since we started playing at the ground.
All this "the will to do it" crap is just that; crap. If the people who want to sing but daren't for fear of offending others in their proximity don't have "the will" to just go ahead and try and build the atmosphere where they are then why should those who do take that option relocate? It's a two way street isn't it.
