This is one of the best vids of the Fish chant I have seen so far I think,

As an aside: This is probably the best evidence we could have that the Osmond needs to be open for noisy fans and not people who get vouchers out of the Telegraph etc. The acoustics would help create a racket in there.

Agreed. The Pontoon left (stupid place to have most of our singers, have always said and will always say that) lot would make a right racket in the Osmond.

This Town fans should abondon the pontoon and sit in the Osmond seems to come up every year.
Logically yes there is a clear point to that idea of trying to make the sound reveberate more and improve the atmosphere. Although to me it doesn't have too much effect when we are loud enough, Gateshead at home with the Paul Hurst Black and White army chant and the playoff semi were both examples of the Pontoon rocking and making a lot of noise.
The problem is that is where I like to go watch Town and I don't like to be told I should go somewhere else, it is like my home at Blundell Park, going anywhere else would feel weird and unatural. Being a football fan is not rational but emotional. If it were rational I wouldn't spend as much as I do on a team who haven't won anything in nearly 20 years, I would switch to someone else. But I could never do that because my heart wouldn't be in it. Same with switching stands, I am a Pontoon man and if over time all the singers moved I eventually might follow them but I think a better idea would be to put up some kind of wind shield in the top left of the pontoon to keep the noise in more.

Anyone have any ideas of a cost. I would happily donate, sure we could get 100 donations?

The more I watch those FISH chants on the clips it reminds me more and more of the wall of noises that you see the hipsters drooling over at the Bundesliga games.
Difference is this was in a half empty stadium, which makes the noise even more impressive.

Exactly what I said to a mate yesterday. I was off to one side and was looking across everyone behind the goal as it was happening. All of the arms in the air was flipping fantastic. It is something that can only be done at a big stadium though due to the sheer numbers of people and the size of the stand which is what makes it even more gutting that we find ourselves down here still!

It use to be the middle of the Pontoon that started the noise one thing when we all join in the noise is frightening my wife was waiting outside the stadium and said she felt the place vibrating during the fish chant. She does not like footy but she said the sound was awesome she was chatting to a steward he said I don't know what it is they were chanting but it's bloody brilliant.
