Air horns were always used on the OLD Kippax to get fans going with chants

We need to modernise, maybe have electronic drums and design a silver zoot suit for the ultras in the singing section.

funny but just an air horn and fans joining in........fans joining in is the key there

True mate. Also, other songs like “Empty Seats at Home” don’t travel round the ground but are good sung along the safe standing blocks.

“The Boys in Blue”

plus we never sing the Dunnie song any more!! ;-) ‘Dunnie, Dunnie, he’ll put a crush on you.
Dunnie. Dunnie, he’s over 6ft 2,
He’s coming after you’…..

I hear you mate but I suspect you are flogging a dead Horse with this, it's not going to get better it's going to get worse.

People in general have changed, the legacy fans we used to have have been replaced (Well started to be replaced) by new fans who probably don't feel the tribal nature of football.

There will IMHO be a knot of fans that will shrink season on season who make a noise, but those fans will be gradually replaced by Americanised fans and half and half fans.

Not as silly an idea as it sounds, she was a focal point and maybe we need to get another focal point going.

It's difficult though when you have people coming to the stadium to view the culture of the people who usually go, taking photos enjoying the experience before they go to the swamp next week to experience that one.

IMHO transient tourists will kill us in the end.

I think a big problem is the lack of decent pubs around the ground.

Away games around 2k fans are together in pockets for hours travelling, before and during the game on trains pubs and concourse. So songs bounce round all day then get sung in the Stadium.

Home games all those pockets of people going to away games are spread out.

In town most of the bars and pubs on our side are great for a drink but not at all for singing, Abel Heywood and Millstone are the only places that get going ever.

Around the ground Mary D’s is a toilet and The Townleys one of the most despressing places i’ve ever been.
