Further to our announcement on 28 February 2017, Section 25 of the FF Upper will be transformed into the Singing Section next year.
To date, over 75 applications have been received. The closing date for applications is 23 March 2017. If the demand outweighs the availability, we’ll contact those who have not been successful and place on a waiting list. We’ll also contact those successful to then arrange the purchase of the Season Ticket by 7 April 2017, in line with the Early Bird and Payment Plan closure at the club.
Both our Group and the Club have received feedback from a small number of supporters relating to the lack of engagement. Our Group recognise the areas where we have failed to engage with the right audience and have taken a number of learnings from this experience. We’d like to apologise for any upset/inconvenience caused to that population. I also understand the Club continue to liaise with those impacted by this change.
As ever, we’re happy to discuss these changes and are arranging for a “drop-in session” in the next couple of weeks where all supporters will have the opportunity to ask questions and meet those involved and interested in the Singing Section. Date, time and location to be confirmed.
We've created a small forum to keep track of updates to the section and details of buses/sections for away games.

The singing section create the best atmosphere when they create everyone around them to join in ....most people who enjoy a song, won't want to be in the singing section - it would have been best tomoitnit back up the top of the east - as last Saturday showed - it's the natural
Place.
Anyway. That said - good luck to those involved - do a magic job - home and away !

Still not sure about this relocation Gans that walk up and buy season tickets for the East in sectiions 44 43 and 42 know they are currently in the vicinity of the singing Section and i assume like me they are happy to go there and join in i they want (. I know there will be exceptions to this )
Its near the away support and generates atmosphete on the back pf that
If those woth Season Tickets in the F F upper havent been consulted and are already less likeley to want to sing for large parts of the game , is this not llikely to end up with a minority singing
I am all for a Singing Section and will probably try to go to the F F upper on a few occadsions to see what its like
But we seem to have gone from talk about relocation and nothing happening and suddenly an announcement its happeing

Personally speaking, 75 people already committing to a singing section inside a week from it being announced is a strong showing. That's already at least 25% of the block filled with fans actively seeking to improve the atmosphere at Easter Road, probably equating to four or five rows.
It's worth bearing in mind that most of these fans are making the move from the East to behind the goals and following the drum in the hope of more noise being generated. If/when the results are positive, I have no doubt that more people will be willing to give up their current seat and join them up there.

We have until August to fill this and we'll all be working hard to ensure it's full by then.
If you are thinking of applying my advice wpuld be to not leave it too long as there are 50 or so ST holders on top of the 75 applied and 75 who have verbally supported this. Applications will be on a first come, forst serve basis.

I know that me and my mates who sit in the FF lower will be joining in when the singing starts and I'm willing to bet that a good few others in the lower deck will as well, especially the kids who sit there ...... there are a good few in the FF lower who don't start songs because folk are too timid to join in, I'm willing to bet that the noise coming from above them will encourage them a lot to get going.
I think that's the possibility a lot of folk are missing with this .... if this goes the way I hope it will you wont just be talking about a wee knot of fans in one section, you will be talking about a stand which at most games has about 3,000 fans in it all being encouraged to sing.

I also think it's great that the family section will have kids who can get to hear a bit more of an atmosphere going on above them and hopefully keep them interested in going to Easter Road, instead of sitting there playing games on their phone.

Good luck with the singing section, but i would think there would be a better atmosphere from the top of the east?

A number of incomplete applications were received. You may have been asked to clarify some details by email.
