Block 6
Just wanted to say thanks to all of those who helped 3 blokes double up with ya for last nights match!!! £67 plus booking fee to sit upper tier with a fantastic view but wouldnt of changed it for the world!
The guys that let us stand with em didnt know us at all, and showed what all arsenal fans should be about.
Its a shame this is the "ONLY"!!!!!! way you can sing and get behind your team , is to sneak into our "designated singing area"
I know its a broken record moaning about this, but dont you think its a disgrace that genuine die hard gooners cant act as a 12th Man unless it means sneaking around.
I wish something can be done to extend these areas to other parts of the ground, as the sound needs to spread around the whole ground.

Your statement that
"Its a shame this is the "ONLY"!!!!!! way you can sing and get behind your team , is to sneak into our "designated singing area"
is pretty misguided
What stopped you singing in the upper tiers. ARE YOU A BIT SHY?!!
It doesn't matter where you sit in the stadium, it is only your own inadequacy that stops you singing.
For the record I sit in Block 2 and I bet I make more noise than 90% of people in Blocks 5 and 6.
The best singing is always away and I know from conversations that the majority of away fans DO NOT sit in blocks 5 and 6.

This constant pop at blocks 5,6 and whatever is utter garbage. Regardless where you sit in that stadium i assume that you are an Arsenal fan? Which to my mind means that if you can sing then go for it. But to start to say that this block is better than that is kids stuff, just listen to yourselves. The RedAction gravitated from Highbury to try and start/stimulate a catalyst for some songs to be started throughout the game. Thankfuly other blocks have grabbed their own iniciative and made their version of block 6. Quality.
So if anyone is making some noise in that ground that has to be a good thing.

fair point mate!
however, in the upper tiers, its impposible to build a real atmosphere and trust me i have tried and it falls on deaf ears! you get told off up for standing up , you cant swear without getting dirty looks and over all its not a comfortable gooner like atmosphere up there.
Like all gooners we spend alot of money on tickets, last thing i wana do i spend money to support my team but end up feeling uncomfortable for shouting ect.
So yeh i did have to sneak into block 6 cos i wanted to support the team last night, and help be a 12th man.
Maybe if there were more people with your views we could ALL get together but that cant happen as were to spread around.

I wasnt having a pop at those blocks, if you read the original post i was giving them credit. The community spirit and atmosphere in those blocks is second to none. Im not shy to get invloved and have tried to do this in the upper tiers but it just dont work mate. Im an old school arsenal fan having stood in the north bank since i was a kid, maybe i excpect to much????worthing gooner wrote:This constant pop at blocks 5,6 and whatever is utter garbage.
