I was in there for about 2 hours then got taken through to be with the doctor for like 5 minutes just for him to say not much they can do but let it heal, if it doesn't come back Monday. Gave me some cream to. Rather annoying. Thanks though.
Just so annoyed I missed the game. Sounded interesting on the radio like the last 10minutes.

This is spot on. I am near the back of Block ND and there is a group nearer the west stand that likes to start a lot of songs which we try to get going but at the same time there is someone in the middle of the north starting another song. Need to be singing as a group really to get full affect.
Personally i thought it was ok today not best but far from being the worst.
People bang on about atmosphere and there is a decent number of songs on going which half the people dont seem to know the words. Also more songs people can sing and jump to would be preferable as a lot of ours are quite short and peter out quickly

The North stand were as quiet as a church mouse, you could hear the ticking of watches and the unscrewing of their thermos flask lids. Were you lot having a WRVS bake sale over there?

You need a drummer to keep the beat and tempo .
Been mentioned a few times, set of singers just under the screen on the left hand side and a group of singers on right side near the control box. Not sure what the middle section is doing but somehow it needs to be joined up so we don't have 2 songs going on at same time or as more often the case the same song going on but a couple of secs apart.

It's a football match mate . Creating an atmosphere to encourage the team is part and parcel of the game isn't it.?
the team's performance creates the atmosphere, not the other way round.....we pay to be entertained, they're paid to entertain....simple as !
We are in the middle and it becomes half and half (of the middle sections) singing different things.

I haven't heard that phrase in years! It goes next to 'sweet as a nut' and 'dude' as urban classics.

Yes it would make a great difference. I try and follow the group closest to the west as everyone around me does but somewhere in the middle it gets lost and then some song appears from the left almost like a competition. Need to get them to sync it up as it would make a massive difference as you would have a few thousand singing the same thing rather than a few hundred on one song and a few hundred on another.

They are paid to entertain but the saying a 12th man generally means singing win lose or draw.

Where were you seated? It was ok not the best but there was noise to be heard. Did you contribute to anything?

Northern side off center of the WSU. I think the split groups or ripple effect on singing is the problem, perhaps a good version of kumbaya or a rousing edition of All things Bright and Beautiful to unify the singing groups.

nonsense singing through whole match nw under box and ne by scoreboard
I sit in WSU and you are correct about this, whos that man from Argentina sounded very loud also Al-bi-on Al-bi-on but that was it.
Fair play to the small group under the police control box singing, they must go home with sore throats, but what were they singing in the second half, it went on a bit but I could not hear the words.
