RiddingsRam Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 On the flags, there's a few less than we started with but generally still the same.As for the noise, I missed the leeds game, but thought it was the best I'd heard this season, not all the way through, but it had its peaks, particularly when we were playing well.I think goals will help but I still maintain that there is singing pretty much all game to join in with, it's up to the individual whether you do or not. I have no voice left today. have you got anything up your sleeve for the Brentford game on Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 We definitely need to sing 'We are Derby' more, all the way from a kid until quite recently it's been the one refrain heard when things aren't going so good on the pitch, and used to last for ages too.I think the problem is when it is sung its a higher tempo now than I remember in the past, I reckon people get out of breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorksopRam Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I don't think the atmosphere has been great this season, despite the efforts of the 1884 lot, but I'm putting that down to performances. A couple of big wins at home and the place will be rocking again. Keep up the good work, lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeah I think all the changes since last season have made everyone a bit unsure about where we stand, it has me. Still early doors, PC will keep getting the wins we need and we'll kick on. We need to stop expecting, have a bit of faith and get behind them.

TomBustler1884 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 We definitely need some goals and wins to get the crowd going.Funny you asked about brentford, a 12m x 3m banner arrived yesterday! It's on twitter but I can't attach it here for some reason.There also might be something else but tbc!We're also planning on spending the whole day on the 10th flag building, we have about another 150 to add to the mix.Also got a tonne of streamers and display flags on order, and we've started working on something HUGE!

TomBustler1884 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 you can have as many flags as you want but if people don't sing then the atmosphere is ****Well if you can suggest a way to get all 26000 fans singing tomorrow then let me know, I'm all ears. My suggestion is for Derby to play well and score some goals. I feel that showing support for the players as they come out of the tunnel might help that. Henc e why we are putting lots of effort into flags, banners, etc, etc.I will be singing every song, even if I hate it. 100% support throughout the game.

Day Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Community centre meet every couple of months, like minded fans get together, knock a few song ideas together and for next season ask the club to reserve a block for you in the centre of the south stand. Get all those that want to sing together in one block and it will hopefully spread to the blocks next to and eventually across the stand. (Songs that other stands feel comfortable to join in with, you're not going to get the North Stand rocking with the Stan Collymore chant)Flags are great but it seems costly for a few minutes worth as the players come out to then get chucked on the floor and taken home at the end of the game. Spend on banners that have a permanent place in the stand, encourage people to wear white and bring scarfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 All ideas we're throwing around, it will be a case of building slowly. I like the idea of specific blocks, but let's say you take blocks G and H in the South Upper and say next season they are for people who want to wave flags and sing non-stop. How do you enforce it? Not having a go, I'm genuinely interested to hear how you would do it because that's been the issue with the South Stand as a whole, some people want to sit, some got cheap tickets, some like listening to the chanting and being in it without contributing themselves.Banners we have started now, people seem mostly to have stopped taking flags and there's some stuff I'm not allowed to say just yet.

Fan meet ups, get the like minded fans together, maybe at the ground see if they will let you meet there once a month for an hour. Come up with song ideas, renewal time get all the fans that attend these meets in the same area, may not need a full block, could just be 3 rows.
