Following a series of successful pilots since 2020, undertaken at the request of match-attending supporters, the Club introduced a season-long trial of a designated Singing Section in SK1 from the start of the 2022/23 campaign. Backed by supporter feedback, its aim was to give like-minded fans an opportunity to congregate in a defined area of the stadium to provide sustained and coordinated vocal support for the team.
Feedback to the 2022/23 trial
Having invited feedback on the 2022/23 trial throughout the season, the Club once again reached out to match-attending supporters in March for an overall review of the trial’s success. This review was carried out via a survey open to all Season Ticket Holders and matchday ticket purchasers, plus in-person consultations with participants from inside and outside the Singing Section. The consultation included contributions from approximately 2,454 supporters.
The results of the survey can be found HERE. Of the current occupants of the Singing Section that completed the survey, 85% supported the continuation of the trial. The trial’s continuation was also supported by 70% of respondents situated elsewhere in the stadium.
Further feedback received will be used to improve the Singing Section operation during the 2023/24 season and help shape ongoing discussions with participating supporters to enhance the experience on offer.
Continuing the trial into 2023/24
Having analysed the views received and reviewed operational feedback from the season, the Club has decided to continue with the trial into 2023/24, while continuing to regularly consult with supporters, continually monitoring the trial’s impact on the matchday and collaboratively exploring how we can enhance the experience. The Singing Section will continue to be defined as:
SK1; Rows M to PP; seats 1 to 29 and seats 208-218
Supporters are welcome to provide their feedback throughout the season by email to SingingSection@lcfc.co.uk providing their Supporter Number to ensure feedback can be appropriately categorised.
