The players need the fans

How are we going to get behind them in the remaining 9 games?

Is there something that can be organised in order to get the voice across?

The fans are the 12th Man. 

If we were able to turn up we would be 110% behind the players and would get behind them all the way.
The players who actually want to play for us!

The players need the fans by their side more then ever.

    That's arguable during a global pandemic :-)

    We need to find someone who lives in them block of flats and all congregate on the balconies singing VFR.

    I feel like David Brent when he goes over to finchy

    Rather defeats the object of social distancing, that.

    Being able to lay flags and banners on the first few rows of the North and East stands (most visible on camera) would be nice. Small way of showing our support to the players and leaving a mark there for the game without watching in person. Maybe the club could have a controlled 'access period' where fans can enter and lay them down. I emailed the comms team about it.

    Obviously would be perfect to have Seb's flag right behind the goal in the Covered End on full display.

    Can the club organise running up cups and string to every supporter?

    It’s imperative the players are up for it and remember that they are fighting for league survival for the fans.

    How about on a morning before training one day in the week leading up to the Hull game the fans organise a socially distance fan tunnel  to applaud the players into training? 

    Or work with @Tracey or Jackson to organise some form of collage of supportive fan encouragement, or a whiteboard where every day a motivational fan comment could be added that the Comms team could request contributions ? 

    Or install supporting fan banners at the training ground?

    Sure there’s loads of potential ideas and I’m sure some will find them cringe. But if there is anything that gives the players an extra 1% determination and garners a sense of unity, must be worth giving a try, surely?

    Plenty of players are on twitter, you've got the official twitter account too

    Easy to post motivational messages to the players on there giving them our full support.

    I messaged Bonne myself yesterday saying that it didnt matter if we were in the Championship or League One next season, they'd still have our support

    Of course I'd want to be in the former (and am sure none of the squad want relegation on their CV)

    But hopefully he's read it and its just taken a little bit of the pressure of their shoulders that they're potentially feeling
