There is no way the stadium design inhibits the singing or atmosphere - we used to have a Church in the corner for crying out loud and that never held us back! It’s now set up to create something very very special. What’s currently inhibiting it compared to Goodison tho is imo a combination of fans feeling less a part of a group than they did and the quality Wi-Fi meaning that the fellah next to me at the Arsenal game got his phone out the moment we went 1 down and started watching the Leeds game on it instead - with the vo

Stadium design plays a massive part. Fans are more likely to start songs off at the back of a stand than at the front. Fans are more likely to join in with a song if stood. Fans wont join in with a song rhey cant hear. So theres loads of factors involved. Design isnt the only thing, its also ticket allocation too, so your part about feeling part of a group I agree with.

The church didnt have much effect as it was nowhere near where the noise was generated.

No I meant there’s no way that the design of THIS stadium inhibits it - it clearly encourages it.

The roof is loud when everyone sings yes thats good. Id say unknown on the roof when a small number sing. Fans in the Upper are sat, so no that doesnt encourage it. Fans in the Lower are supposed to be ones but noisier fans are better at the back, so no there too.

We need “moments”. Aside from the first game and the Grealish last minute v Palace, there’s barely been anything to get you off your seat, celebrate wildly with your new neighbours or sing constantly. It will organically grow but we need things to happen on the pitch as well. At the moment, it’s one long misery fest.

Eitc sleep out and the Everton 10k the same weekend in October. Could well be a Saturday 3pm game after all .. or late Sunday.
Who's signing up, what a satisfying weekend that could be

Noticeable from the southstand when Sunderland were singing at the weekend that their noise echoed off the west stand. Never heard that at Goodison and it only amplifies any noise made - great design

Great moments will come and they do help people lose their inhibitions.

Organically growing is linked to ticket allocation. Like minded fans need to find each other. Would be good to have some unreserved seating games at some point to help with that.

Just had an email about season ticket renewal. They are moving to a shorter renewal window in the spring 'in-line with other premier league clubs'. I wonder if this shorter renewal window will hit the fans who pay in blocks, e.g having to pay more sooner.

Other way around compared to last year for me, had to pay over 10 months starting in April, so finished paying this month. They say they will offer 12 month DD starting later.

Even when it's just 3k in the away end and they are nowhere near the roof, can make a racket when they are on it. We have 5k in the lower South who can all stand too and they aren't generating an atmosphere for whatever reason. If they all sing it will be loud enough for everyone to join in. It's not a stadium design issue they aren't doing what they should.

Everyones up for it in an away end, whereas it can be samey at home with a lower amount up for it. So you need to get the most out of the lower amount of fans to get the others going, and thats where things like ticket allocation, acoustics, positioning comes into it.

That's a stadium. For this Nigeria Morocco game

Need to start putting yellow stickers in that lower South Stand and start warning people about being too quiet. That'll sort them out!
