If we could control the singing at 1894 as much as some fans think we can we would have the most intimidating stadium in the PL. But we cant, every direction within our rights has been tried. But on the match day it is down to the fans, if they don't want it on that particular day the singing doesn't get off the ground. You cant force fans to sing or what songs to sing.
We aren't a bunch of 300 fans in 115 block, as much as we try to get fans to group collectively at home games it doesn't happen.
It is easy from the outside to believe that all you need to do is drum, or group up, or megaphone, or what ever idea goes around, even myself when I started with the group 6 or 7 years ago I thought within 12 months the place would be rocking by making a few changes. But just as you cant make fans stay until the end of the game, you cant make fans sing. Believe me we know what it takes, but you cant force it.
Danny, you are more than welcome to come and have a chat, help out, suggest ideas. Maybe suggest a few ideas on here in reply then I can explained how we have tried it or are restricted by the club / security.
Even our displays are restricted, we have ideas but cant always carry them out. As jrb said on the above post we had an exciting display planned for the derby game, but for some reason which is beyond 1894's control it has been put on hold. And now with time running out and needing to buy & plan at least 3-4 weeks ahead the display is in doubt.
