Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 In the thread about the Ayr fans there are quite a few comments about lack of atmosphere - there may be many reasons, league we are in, lack of an 'edge', just pure excitement but I think we all agree there is less and less spontaneous singing. I sometime wonder if it is because we now have a 'singing section' - now I know one of the reasons it was started was to provide some atmosphere but I also feel that the singing section now dominates, or inhibits, the rest of Ibrox. And there are no 'leaders' to start the singing left in the others stands.If that section was split ( into 2 ) say one in bf1 and another section in the opposite corner, then perhaps the two sections would spur more of us to join in ( mind you I am in gf5 and we are last to join in at any time) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,139 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yes and splitting it would be a good idea to try improve it. I think standing sections are the answer though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP FC 400 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Three things can affect the singing:Lack of an edge, sense of injustice always helps, usually following a dodgy ref decisionAverage age of punters, reduce to below 40Too many drive to games now, me included, Introduce compulsory alcohol consumption to all fans over 18.

Westwood Bear 61 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Not sure what the answer is. Move the singing section next to the away fans maybe? All the bears next to the Ayr fans were very young yesterday. I sit in GR3 and it's quite bizarre, you can slate the team all game long but try to join in the singing and people look at you as if you've 2 heads? What if every stand had a singing section?

Tumshie 205 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Having a singing section in each stand would be an idea. I would just like the singing section to sing more traditional Rangers stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieMacRFC 850 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Was better with TBO in bf5 and UB in cr1, at least there was some atmosphere at both ends of the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 could've done with the singing section being in BF5 yesterday. I was in BF2 and they were still being outsang by the Ayr fans for most of the game Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,705 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The only way things can really be improved is for police intimidation to be dropped and for the singing section to be allowed to move to a more suitable area and be allowed to expand.2 groups in two different parts of the stadium wouldn't be right imo. The time sound takes to travel etc it would be out of sync with each other and two songs going at the same time etc. not ideal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Singing sections are over rated IMO A like more hostile and intimidating atmospheres - you don't get that singing blue sea of Ibrox and 4 men had a dream - as good as they are for celebrating Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosspollock93 20 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I sat in govan front everytime i went to ibrox and i had to move because no one would even be interested in singing a wee tune, therefore ive got every ticket in bf1 ever since, much better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allgers 735 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The singing needs to come back when Ibrox is in full voice it sends shivers down your back, wonder what it must be like for an opposition player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart1994 4,302 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 There always negativity towards the guys who try to make atmosphere, for ever hearing comments such as "wee fannies"Think a standing section would defiantly be the best solution.

RFC Rob 112 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 If you want a good atmosphere go to away games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yesterday the atmosphere was flat but we are allowed that on occasion. We have been playing a lot, there are offpark distractions and Christmas is coming up. and the league is a foregone conlusion. Can't have the joys of spring all the time.Our away game support provide a great atmosphere as do most travelling supports.Ayr Utd home games will be flat but yesterday was a wee day out for them.In the greater scheme of things, the atmosphere will improve next year when we are up against tougher opposition. That is our way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
