HMFCSSO Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello there everyone, we are HMFCSSO. Some of you might have seen or heard about us on twitter. We are attending a meeting on Wednesday which is regarding an official singing section being added to Tynecastle next season. We would like there to be a designated area of the ground where anyone that wants to sing and create an atmosphere for the whole game doesn't feel out of place. We have had an amazing amount of people telling us they would join the section next season. Obviously the club will get the final say but we are still not sure where the best area of the ground for this would be. Our aim is to give Tynecastle a rocking atmosphere for games big and small next season. We would be more than happy to answer any questions or ideas anyone has.

Captain America Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Good luck with this. Keep away from the 'banned songs' and I think the majority of fans will back you. Sections G & N are obvious choices for location due to them already being the sections associated with singing but close proximity to away fans might put club's hierarchy off those areas with the outcome of the last singing section attempt.

I'll be staying in Q but am very much a joiner-inner rather than a starter-upper. Also avoid flags that say 'HERTZ'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboJen Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Good luck. I really hope it gets the go ahead and does well. These things don't happen overnight and aren't successful immediately but hopefully folk give it the time to grow. I don't expect to be in the country for much of next season but I'd definitely move to the new singing section whenever I get back, and I say that as someone who's sat on the same section in the Gorgie stand for almost 2 decades.

We have currently had a good few hundred people say they would join but if all goes to plan, a lot more will feel more comfortable being there if the club gives it official approval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixHearts Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 No Rangers songs, Butchers Aprons or any mention of the word 'Hertz' and I'll support it. Plenty songs in our repertoire without needing to resort to sectarian pish. And the only colours we should be flying are maroon and white... Latvian and Qatari flags welcome. Anyway, I imagine the singing section will have to kowtow to the clubs demands if this is to be an officially sanctioned group. I expect if it's regulated well enough and self-policed to a degree by mature head-screwed-on types with the clubs best interests at heart, there shouldn't be too much trouble and it may prove successful. In that case I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainy Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Would love to see this. Having been at the last two home games - was in upper G for the Derby and it was excellent. I know you cant compare to a derby but it was so bad against Motherwell I think the first song I heard was after we scored. Be good to get a section that will jump about and sing regardless of the opposition and regardless of how the team is playing as that seems to be an excuse that is banded about a lot. Good luck.

Dagger Is Back Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Good luck with it. Stay away from ‘those’ songs and any kind of racist/sectarian stuff, and you’ll get a lot of support I’d imagine, even from those not involved. Ask the club to store flags, banners etc which will save you transport issues and access to the stadium issues, which the last group had. This was because the police and stewards either hadn’t been part of the agreement/communication or they were just beIng arsey. Try to encourage the club to give you a section where your flags etc won’t spoil the views of others - this was another mistake last time around ie basing them at the bottom of the Roseburn. Have you spoken to other fan groups ie overseas, Crystal Palace etc to find out how they manage to get it to work for them? I don’t think it’s rocket science but there may be lessons to learn, ideas to pinch. Ensuring everyone is on the same wavelength is so important. The club won’t want any hassle or bad publicity so the standards you set for your group in terms of behaviour and how you deal with any issues will be under the microscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially one that is associated with exactly the type of misbehaviour the club will not allow. I hope the meeting goes well and you get the go ahead.

Nonsense. Without any doubt there is a lot of identity politics with taking the UJ to the games but this ‘Butcher’s Apron’ shit is seriously bad patter. Usually by people that have not got a Scooby what they are talking about (not a dig). I will keep this brief as it is not pertinent to this thread (or Terrace) but there are not many countries that do not have blood on their hands (not just big bad Britain) but there are certainly no countries that modernised the world like we did. We took modern medicines to the world. Surely this means we saved many lives all over also? – I know this fact does not suit the anti-union agenda but it is a fact (albeit an uncomfortable one to the haters).

As long as you stay away from Sectarian songs and don't stoop to stealing drums and trying to set Irish flags on fire I'm sure you'll get the backing of the majority of fans.

Thought Police Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 People saying behind the goal, I understand what you mean, like a Yellow Wall or the Kop style thing. But I think you’d only have to ask our neighbours what they think of moving their singing section from near the away fans to the other side of the ground. Closer to the away fans the better, but that’s just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
