I think that PMG stand needs to put some more effort into the singing department. Loads of folk have drifted into the new stand who used to be in the North Stand. Perhaps they are still giving it plenty, there seems to be small pockets who are willing to sing, yesterday there were a couple of attempts that didn't amount to much. However, I suspect that many needed the full on persistence of the North Stand to join in.
Last year when the Dale Cavesse began me and Mrs Lion decided to say bollards to the polite attitude and just kept at it with the younger singers. We got loads of looks that said 'what are you 2 old farts up to?' but we persisted and eventually I noticed some other regular inhabitants of our area join in. At the end of the season it was superb and what's more it was FUN and it embellished a great afternoon, win, lose or draw.
Yesterday the MBW crew were trying as always but the rest of the ground have stopped joining in.
From our spot in C1 we get up and try, but there just aren't enough others prepared to do the same. I am really disappointed with the lot of you if you are reading this. No need to stand up and sing...just give it a go from your seat, it works too, and you will be astonished at how fabulous it feels to let rip. If you are too scared to sing, put your hands together and give the clapping a thrash. Show some passion peeps and maybe the players will feel that they have something to play for and put in a big effort.
Perhaps Jimbo could jog up and down the touchline, glare and ask us all to raise the atmosphere. Pump it up stuff, who would argue with him?
Just like some of the players don't seem to be giving it 100%, I feel that some of our new standbys are not giving it 100%.
Be a proud supporter and do your bit to help the players. Does it matter if the team are playing like twonks? Of course, but it shouldn't mean that we have to support our team like a load of numpties...SING UP, CLAP UP, AND BE PROUD
End of...I feel better now. Bring on the Shakers cos we can all pitch in and help the lads on the field.
