Man City a good demonstration today of that standing is not enough (while I do really want it). Large home safe standing section next to us and was hardly any singing. 

Its a nothing game, like most games for them, that they expected to win. You just cant manufacture the conditions to prompt a good atmosphere which is what seems to be required these days.

 

The sport itself is even less suited to getting things going with its constant breaks and near enough no-contact nature. We've seen crowds get right into it on a good crunching tackle or two.

We'd still have dodgy refereeing to get us motivated but that's delegated and filtered now too.

I know this thread is aimed more at home games. But the fans sounded class on the TV today. 
 

Early kick offs are usually crap for atmosphere. But could hear our lot loud and clear all game and a bit more variety to songs compared to most games of late.

A new song. Decent but still sung too fast

You need the singers together tbf. How many people bought safe standing at Wembley and just stood there…? Pretty sure @LFEEmentioned something similar?

As I've said we need a drum for tempo etc etc 

[Wandy]

The day we have a drum at SJP will be the day when I know our support is finished. Couldn't think of anything worse.

Been in safe standing at Spurs this season and Wembley final and both games singing wise were very poor around me.

 

Like Minded > Safe Standing

 

You would just hope increased Safe Standing = Like Minded in the long run.

DJ One Deck blasting a song through the PA system when we score would be DEFCON 1 for me.

 

A drum would be DEFCON 2.

A good example of how lazy and fast our supporters sing songs is the reworked hello hello we are the Geordie boys. 
 

Obviously during the Ashley years as a nod to our decline the words were changed. However, to simply repeat where gonna win fuck all again, where gonna win fuck all at 1000 mph is dreadful.

 

A simple change to the 2nd line sing much slower sounds much better. ‘We’re gonna win fuck all again, but we don’t fucking care, we still follow United’.

 

One view at how Rangers sing we are the billy boys and folk would see what a great song this is. It used to be a staple in the promotion season under Keegan and sounded far better than the shite way it’s sung now.

Hate getting old, I had to Google Defcon 

DEFCON (stylised as DEFCOИ and sometimes subtitled Everybody Dies in the North American version and Global Thermonuclear War in the European version) is a real-time strategy game created by independent British game developer Introversion Software. The gameplay is a simulation of a global nuclear war, with the game's screen reminiscent of the "big boards" that visually represented thermonuclear war in films such as Dr. Strangelove, Fail-Safe, and especially WarGames.

I do sometimes wonder if one of the reasons why our songs have speeded up is partly due to the horrible modern-day prevalence of cocaine being used by away fans. Mix the marching powder with the already-millons miles per hour Geordie accent and that's a potent combination for singing too fast. Could be something, could be nowt.

[Rafalove]

A drum works really well for the old firm so would t rule it out

[Wallsendmag]

Long story but I'm at Stamford Bridge tomorrow for Chelsea v Dortmund. They have safe standing behind both goals (probably 10k+ safe standing places).

 

I'll report back 

[The Prophet]

Could get tasty if we fall behind on Sunday.

Aye they have an even more limited songbook than we do! Expecting most of the noise to come from the German contingent.
