I'm not knocking Notts fans here but what have you/we had to sing and cheer about recently ,apart from 'The Great Escape' Give the fans a team that plays exciting ,attacking football ,a team that gives 110% every game and never gives up and the atmosphere (and the fans) will return to ML.

The fan who owns the flag hand picks his games, hence why its hardly ever out. In my opinion the club should own one and get the fans to set it up at each home game, that is the only way we can count on seeing it but as it stands it's only ever big games.

I think the problem with ultras is people mistaken them for hooligans.

That said, do you see Stanley fans attacking anyone? No, they go and enjoy the game by encouraging their side. So it isn't all about winning games and having success, if the stands could be filled with flags and fans singing we might have more to cheer about on the field. Yet our fan base is firmly on the decline and we are quickly becoming an unattractive club to support.

Ultras and violence go hand in hand, not needed at ML. Just more participation from the fans would help

You Pies!

 

Couldn't disagree more. At most clubs ultras have nothing to do with hooliganism, they simply focus on supporting the team.

Everyone go look at Crystal Palace ultras, they go there to supoort the team they love and to get the actio going! They have some of the best fans in the league and i honestly think they wouldnt be in the prem without the ultras pushing them on. We wouldnt be a ultra with the fighting and i hope you give us a chance to prove that

Bring live to Meadow Lane would make match days more exciting, last year the majority of games I had to force myself into attending. Its fine once there, you have a beer and get a feel for what to expect but it was such a woeful year in terms of giving us something to cheer about.

if it was done as a unity and with the clubs best interest, then this would be brilliant.

yet i have to say i see it just creating more of group which stands for itself, rather than with any of the established section of fans and in turn creating more of grudge between sets of supporters.

I would be up for creating some atmosphere, it sucks at Notts 7/10x.

The atmosphere at Notts has been poor for years. It has been poor football as well. I can't see anything changing regards the fans. We've had a few good years, but the majority have let the club and fans down so the singing atmosphere just isn't there any more. The younger lads from the back of county road have now moved onto the kop or more likely the Pavis stand no and the (not knocking them btw) younger ones coming in at 18yrs old don't seem to have the same cohesion singing wise as we used to have 20 years ago! 

 

You could argue this is why we would benefit from the 'ultra' idea but I cant see it taking off as it would need organising and planning. The two things the club are generally crap at!!!

 

In fact you could say its never been the same since the mid 1990s when we redeveloped the ground.

I think we should ask the club to give the fans who want to ring a specific area in the kop end such as a bottom corner where the fans are aloud to stand and sing as much as they want, getting everyone in one area could start off the whole stand going

The club wouldn't organise this, it's down to the fans. We just need a few dedicated souls with time on their hands and it could catch on. Judging by the number of people who have viewed this thread, there's a lot of interest in the idea.

 

A lack of atmosphere in grounds is exactly the reason why many ultras groups were formed. We need to properly involve the young fans somehow. The average age of supporters is too high nowadays.

By the club, I meant like @1862kane said asking the club for a specific section where standing wouldn't be constantly reprimanded by the stewards etc...

 

The average of supporters has always been high. In fact I would say it has probably lowered in the last ten years, but the singers are dispersed across the kop normally without being centralised it probably wont have any effect.

It's a lot more organised and you can focus on one chant.

Best part is you have the majority fans in sync, not all over the place. I'm an assistant capo to the Ottawa Fury and love it.

I would definitely recommend Notts doing this.

assistant capo? isnt that in the mafia?

Everyone be nice to @Canadian especially if he askd for a 'favour!'

 

Could/Should the Kop look like this? I'm going with YES, as long as it is that full!

If it could be done, it would look amazing and I would only hope t return to see it one day.
