Or even Top Right or Top left? there arn't many season ticket holders in the far corners? And from up there the sound would get projected outwards, much like it does with the away fans in the north stand?

On Tuesday, i sat in the East stand first half, then the Bridle box on the half way line in the second half. It was a good chance to see how good the atmosphere was coming from the East stand. It was rather strange, just sounded like the singing was very halfhearted. The atmosphere is definitly a problem, and with any singers spread out so much, its not likely to change. Something needs to be done, or our atmosphere will always be laughable |

What ever happened to the 'northern slums' chant?... that sounded awesome when everyone sang it
If you want to use my new Beano song (posted earlier on in the season), feel free....

From a sound projection perspective, the most effective locations for singing would be people being grouped together towards either corners of the East stand as they are significantly more enclosed areas.
The last seating block on the far right side would work better for two reasons.
1. It is closer to the away fans and the sound would carry/project well towards them.
2. Judging by the on-line booking thing, there are only 2 STs located in that whole area.
Personally I think there is too much apathy from our supporters to be seriously considered as a club with atmosphere. Let's face it there are 10/15 committed singers who would move seats to give something a go.
The majority of our support is pretty institutionalised.
I recall the autistic mob getting their frilly knickers in a twist regarding the proposed UY area. The same saddoes who get hypertensive if someone parks a car outside their house.

I agree with that ^^ and would like to give it a go, but I dont think enough people would move to make it worthwhile, we would end up with as you say, only around 15 or so people. But hey, all great things start small?

Something needs to be done.
And when buying tickets people should be within knowledge that it is a 'singing area'
Its 15 seats from 135-150 in the top row.
However maybe 145 - 150 Row Y, X and W
Which then spreads to like 140 and 135 when more singers fancy the move.

The far right of the OM would be a class place but it'd need 50 or so to work and with enough publicity I think we could achieve that.

Although it feels like coming 2nd in the paralympics, out of the grounds I've been to in this league, the only one with a better atmosphere than ours is Aldershot...

The far right block hardly ever sells many advance tickets.
Even for tomorrow's New Year's Day match, there are only a dozen or so tickets sold towards the top of the block.
I do not think it is necessary to stand too far to the right. Nearer the aisle (135-140) is probably best as the view is better and there wouldn't be such a huge gap of empty seats between the other supporters.
If people did want to give it a punt, there are loads of tickets available in this area for the Bradford game in 2 weeks time.
This thing would develop more legs if a group of people sorted their tickets in advance for a one off (STs could transfer) as others would be more likely to follow if a core group have already shown their commitment.
I doubt this would ever take off but if it did .....

There are certainly a lot of Oxford fans who will happily sing and make an atmosphere, Wycombe and West Ham are probably the two best shows from Oxford fans I've seen this season. This could be because at both of these games, we were riding high on the back of promotion/night out in London at a big team and there was more cause to sing, however you could also argue that it was because there were a lot of people grouped together who were willing to sing and who were stood up all game!
Perhaps now that we're well into the season and we've settled into life back in the league we're 'a little less excited' and can't really be arsed to make a big song and dance of it all like before?
In my mind, the answer is a standing and singing section and some original chants. Our loudest songs of late are always 'team full of w*nkers' and anything directed at the ref, so perhaps we need some more lairy ones too?
