feedthefox Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 My first home game since we enjoyed these boys from Holland/Norway/wherever we finally decided giving it the first bit atmosphere in yonks. All the rage on here was let's take it as our own and all sorts were promising drums etc....I for one and my two boys would have loved to have given it large if nothing else it was the first thing in years where folk all round joined in. Shame real opportunity missed imho. Bear in mind my two boys 11 and 8 apart from shouting the usual just sit in silence but are itching get involved with something that has cred and is fun. The only time they have was when they joined the clap thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamtartan74 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It started at the beginning of the game with the guy with the drum up the back of section G, didn't really catch on though, agree that it was good when 'orange' got it going and should be done again.

Mars plastic Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's naff. Wales doing it in Cardiff after they won the Euros was utterly cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok apologies and respect to whoever tried, shame it didn't take off but still time I guess. Before anyone slags it off maybe the can come up with a suggestion for lifting the non existent atmosphere.

Not in Scotland anyway, imoThis may sound bad but the louder more vocal of our support are mostly between the ages of about 15-30. Look at section G higher and you will notice this. To get people in the mood to create a bit of atmosphere we do need a section where there would be a drummer, Micraphone for song starter. We are lacking far behind hibs section 43, Green brigade, Union bears and the Motherwell Bois. Something needs to be done next season or we will start losing our younger support Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been here before Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 To get people in the mood to create a bit of atmosphere we do need a section where there would be a drummer, Micraphone for song starter. What is this fascination with taking a drum to the football? They're an absolute fxkin pain in the arse. I'd happily hunt down whoever owns that one at Motherwell and force feed it to him. And a Micraphine (?) for a 'song starter'? Back when I was a boy supporter you started a song, then others joined in, if not you still got a rendition of "solo" if it never took off. Drums? We just clapped and it worked nae bother. Simple days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Mind when we had the WHEC band? If people want drummers, lead singers,etc can they not just go to a gig instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before anyone slags it off maybe the can come up with a suggestion for lifting the non existent atmosphere. A streaker (female preferably). Seriously though the atmosphere would improve if folk would take their eyes of their mobiles and concentrate on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locky Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It was done as a bit of fun vs Accies because of that group. One of those 'you had to be there' things. Didn't expect it to ever take off. It's not original enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain America Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It only took off at the Hamilton game in 2nd half when we were scoring and winning comfortably. The boy tried it few times in the 1st half when was nil nil and few joined in. If players show heart on the park then the fans respond, we did for 1st part of game on Sunday. Some crunching tackles and good play goes along way to help assist atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't expect it to ever take off. It's not original enough for me. Never understood the thinking that "if someone else did it first then it's crap and we shouldn't do it" There are obviously exceptions, but if a song/chant/whatever can get the crowd going, does it really matter that Ipswich/Real Madrid/East Stirling sang it first ?

Just feels a bit sheepish if we latch onto something that a dozen teams do already. Particularly when teams in our own league do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of posters can't stand them and find them a total pain in the arse. Must admit, I'm not a fan of the forced, "Ultras" style atmosphere.
