dunblanemike Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Definitely need someone to forefront and conduct proceedings so the fans know what song to sing and if they are to clap, jump around or links arms etc... Anyone fancy taking up this role? I'd suggest Wee John but I don't think he has the teeth for it anymore!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Atomosphere at McDiarmid? It's true, McDiarmid often has a poor atmosphere. If only more people supported their local club, that might be different. Perhaps the club should manufacture itself a tenuous religious attachment to give itself a broader appeal.

Smithy2102 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 So the plan for Thursday is; those who want to sing throughout congregate in the north end of the east stand? Bring as many banners, flags and scarfs as possible? Attempt to introduce some new fresh chants (perhaps similar to those of our Turkish friends with a saints twist) and go from there. Definitely need someone to forefront and conduct proceedings so the fans know what song to sing and if they are to clap, jump around or links arms etc... Anyone fancy taking up this role? yeah agreed! top tier at the north end? and I think if everyone gets together then can just start from there like choosing a leader role etc!

Havana Saint Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've never had the pleasure of travelling on your bus, but can only imagine how wonderful it is. I might swap my purple jacket with an EsEs fan on Thursday Please don't. By all means apporoach the club and try to market copies to sell in the club shop. The East stand is not the same without it.

I agree the armchair fans are the ones you should be targeting, your own clubs as there is plenty of them, and other clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintGraeme39 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I would suggest tranmere saintee or wee john, his teeth are getting re-done this week so he should be all good for thursday evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSaints_1884 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Would love to see the club supply small flags or blue sheets/cardboard to wave about or hold up as the players come on to the field. Personally think it looks good when done elsewhere. Creates a good spectacle with minimal effort required from the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mc Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I would suggest tranmere saintee or wee john, his teeth are getting re-done this week so he should be all good for thursday evening! Wee John certainly ramped up the volume on wednesday night when he arrived on bar street,up until his arrival at the bar near the middle we were getting well out sung,but we came back with a late rally!

stanley saint Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 it is prob a bit late now but why dont we get flags of countries that saints players are from and make a big flag for some of the empty seats and even coutries where saints fans are working/living. it cant be hard to staple/ tie flags together??

PerthSaints_1884 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Are drums allowed at McDiarmid? When at the ground in Turkey thought one of the best chants was when they all put there hands up in the air shouting oOoOoO, and then burst to a clapping routine followed by a chant. Very effective and easy to achieve if people know what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Pomarium of Flats Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Obviously we should split the crowd into the following sections: Singing section [vulgar] Singing section [family-friendly] Singing and dancing section [vulgar] Singing and dancing section [family-friendly] Sit down and rustle sweetie wrappers section Clap politely section Shout "C'mon Andy Murray!" section Strobe Lights And Brown Noise section The Ginger Baker Appreciation Station section People who will shout "****ING C'MON SAINTS THIS IS SHITE" all game and then post about fans boo'ing the team on W.A.P section Caesarean section See me I've been coming here since 1983 and I've eywiz sat in yon seat so git yir arse oot it son section Bryan Soutar he's a braw laddie section Mosh pit section The 1001 Faces of 101 Saint section Big loud bastards with airhorns section People who have sex with pies only section Antisection - if it touches any other section Perth will be annihilated in a collossal explosion People who want to sit in a big comfy couch section Inexplicably Cold Seat section The Fair Maid/Andy schizophrenic mumbling under the seating section section Section for people who'll head for the car park as soon as Saints concede a goal section And every one can have its own wee clique and representative egomaniacal ballbag, all sniping at the others and insisting theirs is the only way to enjoy the gamey, eh? Or, realistically, you could stop being a bunch of wetfart behind-the-hand mumblers, you could write to the folks in charge to show that y'all wanna git down, and next time the stewards shift some other boy out for being loud you could back him up, rather than wait till he gets hoyed out or silenced and then mutter behind your hands about how it's pure ****in' shockin' that ye cannae hae a dance and feckin' sing at the fitba, ey?

The Inspiration Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Managed to drum up support from a few friends dotted around the country. A Carlisle United fan and a couple of Celtic 'fans' will be in tow along with a barrage of saintees. Cannae wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 As it was put to me in Istanbul by someone who just reads this "We are fans, Eskisehirspor are fanatics." By fanatics he means they show more than ordinary support for their team and not any religious or political connotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they jump about like muppets and take their shoes off they're more fanatical than us? Never heard so much bollocks in all my life.
