WHAT THE CLUB COULD DO...
I think when CaleyD was the announcer, the half time chat and entertainment seemed to come across better than simply something read from a script.
The music choice was better also, and this I think encouraged more fans to get involved.
Noticing the tune to the 'johnny hayes' chant, the appropriate music was played and it got the fans excited at half time.
Perhaps someone who can emulate CD's enthusiasm on the tannoy would help lift some folk.
there was the idea of a singing section, which obviously faltered due to SPL (and other )rules etc, but this was, in many folks opinion, over indulged by a certain former member of backroom staff. Perhaps Darren, Kenny or someone else can look into possible 'loopholes' and communicate to the fans what we can and cant do.
CAN: Stand when appropriate to do so - CANT: Stand up constantly
CAN: Create Banter with the opposition - CANT: Use sectarian or potentially offensive language (the 'g' word for etc).
WHAT THE FANS CAN DO...
Put the damn sweeties back in their wrappers (in fact just leave them in your pockets, or better still, at home) and get behind the team!!! (I know many people who sit in the main stand, and I know that they're more than capable of chanting - proven when in the pub, away days, functions etc)
Sing with those that do generate atmosphere, instead of giving them grief for it.
If you fancy joining in with a chant but are too embarrased to chant alone, move to where the atmosphere is and join in. (The more the merrier!)
