How do we turn the Valley atmosphere around?

OK, let's get positive - what can we do about this?

No drummer - can we get a new one?
Pre-match build-up: what can we do to improve (it's normally quite good apart from the Northerner)
How do we ensure there is singing from the very start of the match?
And likewise straight after half-time? (I can't remember the last time we really got behind the team for the first 5-10 mins of the second half - it's usually the worst time for the 'silence')
Can we have a song to encourage the team when we get a corner?
Can we come up with a positive chant/ song for Izzy ? - he is young and trying to prove himself

I'm there for the next home game, so happy to help in anyway I can.

    Let's start with a new drummer.

    Now all we need is to find one. Any volunteers?

    close the East Stand, take the top tier off the North and restore the old covered end with its sloping tin roof
    thus the capacity will be reduced = lower compulsary allocation to away fans

    the ONLY way forward!

    We hire that female Norwich Director to shout some drunken words out on the PA system at half time...

    that'll be sure to fire us up!

    employ players with a bit of passion and the balls to get us out of this division

    We need the singers to be heard.

    Claim the Jimmy Seed stand as the 'new' covered end and move the away supporters into the lower north where the acoustics will ensure they won't get heard...

    ;o)

    Shoot the two whingeing bastards who were sitting behind me on Saturday :-)
    Seriously though, I think we all have a part to play in trying to gee the team up.....I'll start on Saturday regardless of how well we are playing

    Next season, introduce a 'singers only' season ticket - ensuring all the singers sit close to each other in a big group.

    ;o)

    even better, give some of the west stand to the away fans...it might liven it up a bit ;-) and reclaim the south stand.....remember what it was like when we first moved back to the Valley?

    Great idea - if they dare to make a noise we can pelt them with stuff from the Upper North, like Brum do to away fans ;-)

    I've been getting told off all morning for making suggestions like that, so thought we'd better try and come up with some of our own ideas...

    How about a ritual execution in the centre circle before each game?

    We could drag out one of the whinging spectators from the East stand & then behead them, with a warning that YOU could be selected next week unless you sang your heart out for the next 90 minutes. We could pick out one of the old, moaning Valley Golders to start the whole thing rolling - as that would be no great loss to anybody!!

    and what happens if that goal doesn't come for 89 minutes? Sit on your hands and moan?

    Nothing quite like a bit of ritual bloodshed before a match eh?

    So what do we do to get more people to join in, then, Rothko? The big flag really helps beforehand. But then we kick off and it all goes quiet.

    Not that they'd let me bring on the plane from Scotland, Oggy...

    (I've also got absolutely no sense of rhythm. Mind you, I can't sing either, but it doesn't stop me joining in VFR etc!)

    Should we get the opera singer back??

    Cattle prods might work, summary execution as a last resort
