Didsbury Dave I am not a wum,
Ric we will keep the message in this thread no probs
What is this trying to achieve? What message is it trying to send out?
There's obviously something as people are getting so giddy over it.
The usual stuff, booing, whistling, drowning it out, when their team is announced. I get that. I like that. It's designed to drown it out, create an intimidating atmosphere. make them feel not welcome.
What the fuck will a load of over exited fat blokes jumping up and down do?
A nice little period of silence for everyone to enjoy their names? Guaranteed to be met with a chorus of "What the fucking hell was that" from them lot and piss taking from most people watching (if the TV bother to even show it, they sure as hell won't be anywhere near as impressed with it as some on here seem to think they will be)
I've heard of more intimidating acts at kid's parties.
If you wanted to create a 30 second lull in proceedings at the start of a game, when the idea is to be doing exactly the opposite and be getting behind the team and intimidating the opposition, this is absolutely the best way to do it.
Save this shite for after a goal when you don't look such a nob acting all giddy.
The start of the game is for proper noise. Not kid's games
