Glad theres others on here that want a singing section its something i've thought we've needed for a while now like im sure others have. theres already 4 of us on one thread wanting a singing section so imagen if we asked a fair 100 to sign a petition for a singing stand or maybe getting in touch with the club, anyone know how its done?

Yer being hard on Gary though lads, I think its fair for any fan sitting anywhere in the ground to expect a decent atmosphere, and to expect a few randoms to join in with the singing, its not Garys fault that its too quiet for sitting in the quadrant, its everyones elses fault for not joining in. You cant accept that the atmsophere is crap in certain sections so Gary should move, fuck that, we need Garys around the ground to get the atmosphere going again. I do think singing sections is the way to go. I said it on here before, you could scatter 20 or 30 singing sections through the North and South stands, maybe 100 lads in each, thats only 2,000 or 3,000 out of the 76,00, hardly too much to hope for? that would encourage a few more to sing, cause there HAS TO BE many a die hard in those stands that want to sing, but dont at the moment.

Theres enough supporters in Old Trafford singing to make a good atmosphere the problem is there all split up and so far apart because the stadium is so big that all their noise is lost because we're not all singing together. Stretford End and East Stand create top atmospheres but north and south truely shocking. Our away support is amazing, streford end is amazing and outside and in the pubs its amazing we just need to get it sorted in the fucking stadium! FUCK THE JCL'S & TRIPPERS!

From where I was the atmosphere was electric at times. If you cant handle the fact that no-one sings get your tickets transferred to another area of the ground. All I can say is how glad I am to support our team. We played nowhere near our best yet came out five up. However I must say Stoke as perhaps the worst footballing side I have seen in a long long time. Hand on heart I can honestly say I've had better experiences watching my local Sunday league team. No wonder they were such bitter and resentful bastards. If I had to watch that dire effort week in week out it would either be that or suicide! Dealp is a joke, he filled his pants and got lost somewhere amongst the Old Trafford crowd, unlike Ron who was baited all game but stuck it to them with a good free kick (although Sorensen should really have saved it) When they beat Arsenal I enjoyed it, I found it funny that as so called big team can capitulate to such a lame style of football. But if that was us there would be some serious issues. In response top Gary, I was in the stretty end and sand my heart out along with probably 80 percent of all the others in that area.

I dont mind the cheeky banter between any of the fans coming to OT.. but what i despise is the Stoke fans that thought they were Leeds giving it the sick Munich chants... really put me off yesterday that.. I am a manc.... always been red... and been going for years... 28 years... since i was 5... and what pisses me off is that i took my missus for the first time yesterday coz our kid couldnt go... and she loved it... and then had to hear that shite on the way back up Sir Matt Busby way, when them muppets were cordoned off in the car park... Yes, the majority of Stoke Fans, probably were well behaved... but its about time they turned round to this minority of lob ons to curb shite like Munich chants... coz i tell ya.. if any of our fans could have got at them in that car park yesterday there would have been blood everywhere... and even a copper commented to me that he was disgusted with them.. With regards to the atmosphere well.........many years ago.. used to go in the Stretty Paddocks... and jib over to the Stretty End.. what a fuckin buzz as a kid i tell ya.. and had a LMTB for years.. then ended up with a Season Ticket K Stand for years...and been going in West Stand up until last year.. What a mistake i made going into North Stand Lower... yeh the seat was great... but do i wanna listen to 2 women next to me chatting about what they been upto all week... ?? Nope... Do i wanna listen to a girl in front of me during the match, asking how her digital camera works... For Fucks Sake... If these people spent more of there energy on our songs rather than the offers on at Gap, or "Shall i zoom in with this button"... then we might get an atmosphere going again... My missus said to me yesterday...and bear in mind she has never been to a game before...."Why is it so quiet in here... I wanna be up there where they are all singing, it looks fantastic"... she was of course going on about the Stretty End... and all i could tell her was the reason that its so quiet in North Stand is coz of "complimentaries...freebies etc etc"... it was a shame... my missus loved the match.. love the chanting outside... loved the mickey taking by the stretty end boys... just a let down in North.. .as it must be even worse in South.. coz the amount of camera flashes that come from that side of the ground is ridiculous... West stand is pretty good especially upper west.. can get some really good banter up there... I just wonder and wonder just how much of a fortress we could get OT to be again if we got North and South going again... thats why i think we are desperate for singing sections in every part of the ground.. we are desperate for it... not only will it give us more noise...it might encourage others who wouldnt normally sing to get involved... not only that.. it would intimidate the away teams... it would drown out the muppet away fans... it would give the players a lift when needed... and last but not least.. make OT feel like it used to when i was a yipper... and that is the most fantastic atmospheric place to be... United Is Life... United Is The Religion.... and i just wish the who ground would get involved rather than East and West having to carry the North and South all the time. I seen all the shite outside Lou Mac’s chippy…. and the Stoke fans thought they were getting cheeky with us… and yeh seen them get peppered with lager n cider…

I normally sit in the Stretford end tier 2 and the atmosphere up there is always good, but for the stoke game i was in the East stand and that was good aswell, when stoke fans started the usual ABU "we support our local team" everyone got going with "you support a load of shit" The atmosphere wasnt as good as barca last year or any big matches dont get me wrong, but considering we were only playing stoke the atmosphere was class imo. stoke fans tried acting like thugs and failed, they all went to a pub in IRLAM! hiding away from all the United fans. stoke fans outside the chippy got bullied aswell they hurled 1 can and then got drenched with 20 odd cans by United fans. ;) Gary, I can see what your saying mate but then again you were in the north stand which is very poor for atmosphere but fair play you tried to get it going up there (impossible task imo).

we did have an off day which made it look EVEN worse for us .were just trying to survive which will be a major accomplishment in itself , without trying to bankrupt our club . credit to yourselves for the football played and the goals scored .
but i’m still confused about why ronaldo never got booked for kicking amdy faye from behind right in front of the referee , not that it would have made much difference though.

fingers crossed we’ll be there next season but with more quality in our team .
