uttoxram75 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Why not try the concourse at 2pm (for the 3pm kick offs obviously, if it was a 7.45pm kick off it would be silly ). Make it known on Twitter, Facebook and the forums and see if a small group or brave individual will have a go at a new song. We could turn it into an X factor type event!

Sith Happens Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Has anyone actually noticed a difference??Imo the atmosphere has got worse this season.No it hasnt...the efforts of 1884 are fantastic, most clubs would love to have something like this going on. They can only do so much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted October 2, 2015 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. Let us know if you need a hand mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 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.I can. We need some fans to become hype men. Other clubs in Europe have them. They work wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I would suggest either the National Anthem (sorry Jeremy) or Delilah as the most likely songs to get 26000 singing.However I suspect you will just get the usual 250 singing When I was young.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Football fans need arrogance or beer to be loud. Once we start winning convincingly the volume and excitement will generate naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tthey'd get laughed off or ignored in front of derby fans. "You can't tell me what to sing" etc, etc.If you're willing to volunteer though?!

"I'll sing on my own, I'll sing on my own, we're Derby County but I'm still singing on my own"..... Be yourself......but don't sound like a duck, that's been Arthur Mullarded and don't dress up like a black angel and look more like a crow.....argh the things you learn about X factor by watching Gogglebox.

RobboRam Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I have always thought this song would sound amazing sung by Rams fans in full voice, plus all standing at the appropriate part!Very subtle change to the lyrics, to the tune of Stand By Me...When the night has comeAnd the land is darkAnd the moon is the only light we'll seeNo I won't be afraidOh, I won't be afraidJust as long as you stand, stand by meSo DERBY! DERBY!Stand by me, oh stand by meOh stand, stand by meStand by meIf the sky that we look uponShould tumble and fallOr the mountain should crumble to the seaI won't cry, I won't cryNo, I won't shed a tearJust as long as you stand, stand by meAnd DERBY! DERBY!Stand by me, oh stand by meOh stand now, stand by meStand by meSo DERBY! DERBY!Stand by me, oh stand by meOh stand now, stand by me, stand by meWhenever you're in trouble won't you stand by meOh stand by me, won't you stand now, oh, standStand by me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yep, nick and pav will be joining brentford fans prematch I thinkThe ones that were tortured until they agreed to pay the £29 to watch the game when they could have stayed at home and refused to pay....Making it well known that the empty seats are there in protest at ticket prices would be a far more effective protest than the odd chant and banner when the money is in the clubs bank account generating interest.

I agree that not going is the best protest but why should we have to not attend to make the point. Swings and roundabouts!The best protest at ticket prices would be for whole stadiums to empty at 30 mind for 15 min's leading up to half time, and show the cameras what empty stadiums could look like.

angieram Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 And risk missing a goal?! It's a tough one this as I want to have my cake and eat it! I want to join in the protests but I also want to see the match. I was truly impressed when the Cardiff fans boycotted Leeds last season - that takes some doing.
