A real problem is that when outside people look at Football (soccer), they only see the riots, anger, and violence. Yes football has a shocking reputation for that kind of stuff but to lump starting a new chant with crowd violence drawing a very long bow. I don't think anyone wants to turn our support base into a football gang that beats the [censored] out of others because they find it fun, this is about creating an atmosphere that lets the players know when they come out that we are behind them 100%. As a pretty big soccer fan i find it offensive to be constantly lumped in with pricks who let off flares and start fights, a large majority of us hate that stuff.

As i've said previously, the trumpeter thing was a great initiative from the club last year and it should be further developed. Personally i think it should come while the players are out on the park 1. because most of the supporters will be there and in their seats and 2. for the obvious reason that it's about showing our resolve and unwavering support of the boys.

And on segregation, i don't think it should be forced but i believe it should be an option because i know many people who hate sitting with opposition fans, personally it's why we took the option of reserved seat for our membership package.

Thanks dennis for clearing up what you where saying oringally. At first i did not get it, and now i see your point and i agree with you on most points.

Any way welcome to demonland and i'm sure with more posting you will be more understood and you will gain more confidence. I know it is hard at the start

here goes again. boy can this get addictive. it seems we as club members and supporters we need to do something positive.

1. become members.

2. go to every game we physically can.

3. when the team runs out ,stand up,clap madly.

4. sing i mean sing the club song, loudly, so you have a bad voice, try standing next to me and you know all about bad voices.

5. IMPORTANT!!!!! dont leave early, stay and watch your team off the ground.

6. lets be known as the supporters who dont run out on our team when they are being beaten.

7. anybody can be a supporter when thing are going well,but true supporters are there always.
