I agree. Noisy as the game started and then silenced for 45 minutes as Saints took the game to Killie and showed that for 45 minutes there wasn't much between the two sides. Killie came out second half fired up and their support responded. Good afternoon's football. Quote

St.Ricky Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 Doakes. At football matches in Turkey and some other countries there is a guy at the front of each section who leads or coordinates or conducts (choose as you wish) the singing or chanting in that area. The crowds make one heck of a noise. Quote
ged62 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 If you have a speaker directly in front pointing towards you, rather than beside pointing away you get different volumes.FFS even cowboy could have worked that out and he's deaf. [emoji14]Say that again [emoji12] Quote

jkd Posted October 21, 2018 Report Posted October 21, 2018 Whatever happened to the huge black white and red one from the northbank that used to make regular appearances ? Quote

We need aconductor out front leading the singing at each section. Simple. Try it out for half a dozen games to see how it works. Edited October 21, 2018 by St.Ricky Quote

They are wasted where they are. Drummer and W7 spread into each section. Drum, flags, singers. One of them conducts the rest of the folks in that section to sing. Solves the problem.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Anyone know what ever happened to the massive Sammy Browns saltire I used to see on Scotland away trips. It was a big stoater. Instead of saying "Remember Bannockburn 1314", I think it said something like "Remember Paisley 1877". Used to fill me with pride watching it passed up many stands in foreign lands. Quote
St.Ricky Posted November 23, 2018 Report Posted November 23, 2018 Is there going to be a banner with a subtle reminder of 17 March 2013? Quote
