Have to admit that the current 'man in the middle' doesn't do it for me, and the kind of 'encouragement' you report above isn't my thing at all. I'm willing to wait and see how it goes before dismissing out of hand though.

That would be my reading of it.

They will be handing out song sheets next

I reckon the players would want the fans singing OF when they come out. I remember at the 2nd derby last year when it was sung pre match and was brilliant.

Anyway, maybe they should play the liquidator and we can sing our own version to teh dobbins similar to how wolves sing it to west brom

How do you sing an instrumental?

Nor me. We were spoilt by Martin's enthusiasm and I tend to agree that "only singing when we're told to" isn't a great idea

That would be my preference.

My only issue with Old Faithful is when the Sky or BBC cameras are there, they always seem to focus in on FC fans singing but getting the words wrong! The recent home game against Leeds as a prime example.

Song sheets may well be a good idea! After all the KC Stadium is a church for some!

what do you mean by "getting the words wrong"?

Undercover dobbins singing their version.

They have stuff blaring out of the sound system you can't hardy understand and that in the time before the game kicks off is when the atmosphere was built up at the Boulevard. A few songs , followed by " what the F*****g h**l is that" as the other team ran out used to set the game off right.

They are sounding desperate to manufacture an atmosphere in an attempt to drum up support, performance on the field and good atmosphere go hand in hand.

How long before we hear the refrain " Make some noise " FFS

?

People who sing along and don't know all the words. If you've still got the Leeds match on your sky planner, watch the rendition before KO.

Why would anyone...?

Bit farcial and says to other supporters that we need a helping hand before we will sing. Next thing will be a drummer.

We have shown plenty of times when the team perform well or give their all we will get behind the team, like others have said show the commitment on the field and start putting in good performances and the atmosphere will be electric.

Its a great idea.

Its about time we started to help make the KC fortress instead of an holiday home for away teams.

Ask one of many thousands of wolves or chelsea fans

to be honest there should be a fans rendition of old faithful just before the start at every game just like liverpool fc do with 'you'll never walk alone'

As a ratio of one to four proves.

Nothing wrong with the article on the website, however Wigan last week served as a good example of the team's effort inspiring the singing and hopefully the singing lifting the players in return. That's what you get though with 3,000 hardcore supporters in a tight area. Unfortunately at the KC the fans are too widely distributed and also there's a lower % of singing/shouting nutters, so it's harder to generate a top atmosphere. I can see why the club would look to address this, but I'm a right gob$hite at the KC and someone telling me to make some noise just makes me want to do the opposite.

spot on

Ok so would you rather they said"ok fans as were not doing so well be miserable and please be quiet"


one of the fans whom only sing when were winning are we

Fishing apparantley

What on earth are you doing on here? We've got a match in less than two hours, you should be helping prepare the team by now surely?

If this is the kind of laxness that Rich Agar let's his non-playing staff get away with, then it's no wonder he's so unpopular with the fans!

keeping up the meldrew front i see...
you know the players are all running up and down the pitch for three hours prior to a match
the coach does a three hour speach
so on and so forth
anyway i know you wont be here will you Victor, you dont support the club anymore do you
