Another set of fans QPR who sing nothing original any more, nothing interesting. Just rent-a-chants stuff. Actually think our song book is beginning to be far more diverse than most which I can’t believe 

You can split our songbook. The banter stuff with other fans is crap but towards our players and our club it is good in variety.

Makes me think, have we got Enzo half on our side?

Might be worth trying to capitalise on that?

players and managers have talked for years about the fan backing being important then the next home game comes, after calls to rally the fans and the music is even louder than normal, John Barclay and his successor in match day operations do everything they can to kill it and have done for 2 decades, get them replaced with someone that encourages it and you'll stand a chance, but even then it will take years

Also can the club can explain why two blocks - one each in the upper and lower were completely empty at kick-off? 

 

Like it was clearly apparent it was a block booking for some sort. 

I know QPR gave us 300 less than they could accommodate. Teams have been given over 3,000 there. So it could be that.

I don't think others are getting defensive.   They're actually totally disagreeing with you.    And there's more of them than you!

Well it's nice to see them make some noise at last!

The modern game is not the thing that people want it to be anymore. 

 

Newcastle fans couldn't even get themselves up for a CL game with Dortmund last night. 

 

The passion and realness of the game has been destroyed by billionaires. 

I wonder if the pure difficulty in getting tickets is a reason. Many fans with season tickets know if they don't renew, their chances of getting another one is possibly 3/4/5 years down the line. Or getting to games becomes harder etc.

So many who have fallen out of love with the game, but don't wish to give you their ticket, are still attending or selling to one off goers

Exactly this

 

Our ground is full of people who don't really get the buzz anymore but are petrified of giving their ST up. 

 

I would urge those people to find something they enjoy more to do with their time.

Why do you assume that so many ST holders have fallen out of love for football but are PETRIFIED to give up their ST in case they can’t get another one at some point in the future. Has it never occurred to you that they actually have a ST precisely because they love the club? I have had a ST for 37 years. That is not a boast but a fact and I continually object to being told by apparently far better supporters than me, that I should give it up! Why should I be dictated to by such patronising and arrogant people?

If you feel attacked by a statement, only you know if you consider yourself part of that problem or not. If you don't feel you are, then why do you feel you're being attacked?

[ShepshedFox1884]

For me personally I just find it frustrating that the manager and the club want our fans to chant more and fans don’t seem to realise how much it helps the players and gives them a boost when we are loud

Why do you feel attacked or patronised? 

 

It was merely a point made that some people may feel they'd rather not give their ST up, with how long it would take to get one back, despite maybe falling out of love with what football has become. 

 

There was no suggestion of anyone being a better fan in that post? 

[justfoxes]

Enzo Maresca has certainly bought back the feel good factor to the KP his style of management outshines what we previously had and the fans are being enthusiastic about our great club again the noise this season each game is gets louder than the one before, It’s now a pleasure not a chore to travel to the KP on match days to see what we’re going to see next Enzo has taken our teams confidence to greater levels and may this continue to carry on for many seasons to come !

Don’t take it personally and while everyone on here is speaking about how we need to sing more and people need to put in more of an effort we all just want a football club that we are proud to support which we are getting at the moment 

[Munshi]

If we can get the last 10-15 minutes of the Sunderland game more often i’d be happy. Buzzing for Friday now.

I'm a big fan of UFS and what they do, how about an "east stand give us a song" or "L1" from you chaps, get some banter going around the ground and get us all chanting together?

I think it would get taken in the wrong context and the east stand for example think it was some form of baiting. You'd come on here after the game and just see 'elitist fans' etc.

This reminded me of the Filbert St days, East stand, start the wave 

[Stuntman_Mike]

I've got high hopes for Friday. It should be rocking.

 

[coolhandfox]

There is a lot of stereotyping going on here on both sides.  

 

All sorts of people support and love the club in the way they see fit.

 

Instead of generalising and singling out groups in this thread and moaning about it.

 

Why don't we use this thread as a positive place to work out what can be done to improve and how different groups can do their bit?

Not on here but I felt like the fans forum UFS did earlier in the year was a bit of that and it certainly felt overall positive.

Could you imagine the frothing at the mouth in this thread from the usual suspects if that happened

Frothing at the mouth,

Can't breath under a painted sheet.

Onset of panic attack on not being able to see team warm up for 60 seconds.

 

All symptoms of Atmosphere Spongilitis😁

Noticed Forest fans moaning on twitter about their ‘support’ now, home and away, of course it won’t be mentioned in the media but knew it would happen 2nd season back with poor football. 

[Ted Maul]

Obviously everyone can support the club how they want but, let's be honest, we don't see scenes like the ones after Winks' goal and at full time at pitch level very often these days and it was probably the result of the upper tier being sold first.

Big fan of UFS decent bunch always felt welcome when using nephews ticket. Get behind them learn their songs and get the place rocking.👍

[Munshi]

Found this in an article I came across, anyone who sits there quietly is hurting the team imo
