There is a code of silence about that. You will now be shunned at all the Bagel stands on the Shelf.

Have you read the thread you're posting in?
It's started by the guys who do The Fighting Cock podcast. It started as a flash-mob type thing of turning up to youth games and treating them as first team games (drink before, stand and sing for 90 minutes non-stop), but it's since grown and developed. It's now essentially an organised singing area (in block 35) for certain, lower key first team games, plus we still go to a lot of youth games. It's not a membership type thing at all, it's literally for anyone who wants to sing for the whole game.
Without wanting to self promote too much, there's lots of videos from the various matches on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperSpursKid/playlists
This video pretty much sums 1882 up. It's an U18 game at Dagenham & Redbridge, it's 5 minutes long, and there isn't 1 second without singing.

The answer is in the bit you bolded!
Yes, but only games where demand is lower, so we can all buy together and not be too spread out.

Oh yeh, I just read it as "lower key games" and thought that meant reserves. I'm presuming most of you are season ticket holders. Aren't the group officially recognised by the club? If not, why the hell not? And then couldn't the club reserve a section of seats?

It's a real mix. Some ST, some not, but almost everyone goes to games regularly.
It is recognised by the club. When the guys are organising a game at WHL, they have contacts who arrange a block to buy in. For the youth games, the club then give a "password" (loosely speaking) which needs to be given to buy a ticket in the allocated block. This isn't meant as a way of making the group exclusive, it's simply to avoid families inadvertently getting tickets in the 1882 area.
Regarding a reserved section of seating, it's difficult because of season tickets. Whenever we go, we're now allocated Block 35, and that is because it's the only block without many season tickets in. Unless the club were to re-locate all ST holders from 1 block for next season and announce that block as an official 1882 / singing section, then it won't get any more official than it is now. Hopefully it's something the guys can sort out with the club if and when we move into the new stadium.

I was thinking about this earlier. Not sure if the club are still planning on having a Kop-style stand, but I'd love to see the 1882 movement get a block bang in the middle of it. I reckon the enthusiasm would spread like wildfire.

Don't think it will mate as some season ticket holders have complained about it
We're not. 1882 isn't happening because the season ticket holders have taken up most of the tickets now that we are doing well and there isn't a block to put 1882 in.

Even though there isnt an official 1882 block for Benfica, are people buying tickets for a certain area of the stadium?

I'm in block 32, row 17, so that's obviously the place to be.
Serious answer - no there's nothing organised at all.

I'd love to! I'm just not sure a fan asking him questions is his format. Not sure he'd know all the answers either.
