To give you an idea of what we have to endure in the Main Stand:
From my seat I can see at least twelve people who look like they've never shouted in their lives.
I can see another dozen who look like they'd give Chisholms some business if they shouted.
Another two sixes look like they'd like to shout but are feart of the first twelve.
The elderly lady in front of me (yes madam, I am the horrible person in row N, seat 6) once told me off for saying 'bloody' three times in quick succession of a Saturday afternoon, presumably to protect her grandson's delicate sensibilities. He looks about 15, by the way, and probably thought I was a Church of Scotland Minister because I didn't swear properly.
Today she and (perhaps) her daughter had a wee exchange basically complaining that the person behind was rather loud, much rubbing of delicate wee ears and shaking of heads.
This is why the Main Stand is how it is. Until this Silent Generation goes to its grave, and its loveless gaze with it, the atmosphere will always be horrendous. They should have a decibel level that you have to meet when you buy a season ticket. Or at least a warning sticker to alert you to the fact that you're going to a bloody ******* ****** ******** football match and not a tea party.
Oh well...

That's a quality post, exactly the way i see it with disgusted looks if you dare to shout too much or even worse (god forbid) SWEAR!
Believe me it would not take too many people to start an atmosphere if they were persistant enough if there are enough people out there willing to make a noise for most of the game then we can become a "proper" support.
Hence the reason we need a singing section or a "express your own views and its allowed " section
