They don’t want the Covered End to clap the players when they come out ?

That "giant flag" in the cupboard end for the last game - I've got bigger duvet covers!
I'll never forget the dreadfully uncomfortable sight of a tall chap, gamely legging it up the touchline at Wembley in 98 with a microphone some time before kickoff, charged with "getting the singing going" or some such futility. We were singing fine well already and had been since we got to the Griffin in Villiers Street several hours earlier. No intended disrespect to the enthusiast concerned.
Dishing out cards to all seats will end up with a steady shower of paper aeroplanes and attendant massive clearup operation for afterwards.
They'd do just as well to put Squeeze and 3 Blokes on repeat on the PA and let us enjoy it all just as we always do.
None of it's even gonna show up on telly cos Sky will be running relentless commercials until kickoff.
My son does the music on matchdays & he found the song by "3 blokes from F block" and I suggested he pays it tomorrow. I also suggested he plays "congratulations" by Cliff Richard after the game (assuming we win of course 😄) as I remember that being played at home games after a win.....but that was in the 70's mind.1 -

you do, you think you navigated the system correctly but come tomorrow at the turnstile…😉😆0 -

Like the idea, don't like they are announcing it on social media (prefer they give us instructions at the stadium).0 - Sponsored links:

Will you be printing out the players entrance critical control points list for him?

We’ll be in the East and clapping doubly hard to make up for the Covered Enders holding up the cards 💪0 -

What message would that send to the team do you think?6 -

1-0 already to Wycombe.
Just leave the fans to do what they have always done. Sing, shout & cheer. No other bollox is needed.
This & the half & half scarves just proves to me that the owners haven't a clue how to run an English football club.
Utter gash.
Ps. I'm in the Covered End tomorrow. If there is anything on my seat when I get into the ground its getting torn up and/or thrown onto the pitch.
Tomorrow night we'll have a packed Covered End and you'll be the only one there not holding up your piece of paper.9 -

It's different I'll agree, in that for a "Giant Flag" it's miniscule. We could be done under the trade description act if we were selling that as a Giant Flag2 -

Yes we want a great atmosphere, but I something wonder if its effectiveness is a touch exaggerated.
On Sunday it was noted that the players before the game could hear the incredible singing from the away end, and were inspired by it. BUT when the game started, it was a dead even slog, with Wycombe if anything shading the first 10 minutes, 51-49. The atmosphere before the game in the away end didn't lead to our players playing better than the opposition, or indeed putting in more effort.
Doncaster 2019 had a great atmosphere, but we lost the match on the night4 -

It'll make a difference, however slight that may be1 -
