Sam_DCFC_1994 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 1884 going well so far - great to have this initiative.Making The ipro our own with the black and white flag/banners etc. Finally about of identity. Going forward I think we specific blocks of fans in an area so new songs can be incorporated. (May have to wait until next season) We need fan meet ups every month/couple weeks to come together, brainstorm new song ideas.That's the next step for me. South stand looking good, need more diverse selection of songs. Decent ones will naturally raise noise levels. When SIWY was first introduced it was much louder when sung than it is now. I myself have become bored with the same chants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorsforthRam Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Sitting in the East Stand, one of the things that "works" is when the South Stand chant for the other stands to "give them a song". Sounds great and is effective.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great and is effective..I'm sure I saw some west standers bouncing their feet up and down under their blankets AND they gave us a song too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 There's never been a failure with any stand giving a song when summonds to sing by the proper fans in the south stand.well done ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 You could argue that the south stand are not the proper fans as they are in the cheap seats so contributed less to the club. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBustler1884 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Out of curiosity, is there anyone on here that has found a flag in their seat and just left it there, not waving it or giving it to someone else?If so, why? I understand not everyone wants to join in but we've noticed some flags just get left. Surely there is someone around you that would join in?!

I understand not everyone wants to join in but we've noticed some flags just get left. Surely there is someone around you that would join in?!Maybe they lack the confidence to wave the flag or to pass it on to someone else or maybe they fear the wicked ways of health and safety and think they are going to accidentally poke someone in the eye or accidentally give out the wrong flag signal and fly one of our players into Nottingham by mistake.Just in case anyone out there needs a bit of flag waving training. http://m.wikihow.com/Wave-a-FlagOnce you've read it, update your CV's, print off your flag waving certificate and inform your Health & Safety team members, to do a proper days graft for a change.

jagerbob Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I hate H&S. Use common sense. On a slightly different note, why are we not allowed to wave flags during the game like they do in Germany, or how we used to at a Wembley final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a slightly different note, why are we not allowed to wave flags during the game like they do in Germany, or how we used to at a Wembley final?Because people pay to watch the game not a big flag waving for 90 minutes. I haven't got a problem with people waving them now and again but it would be my luck to have some prat on steroids stood in front of me who wouldn't put it down.

Indeed - I have always wondered how much of the game the average Dortmund fan actually gets to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 In the long term, we could look at having a section for fans to wave flags throughout the whole game, but that may be VERY long term, we would need to know there was a demand for it for a start! Then the issue of people miving, etc, might do more damage than good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Flag waving throughout is a bigger challenge than scarves. A flag does take up a large field of view from someone behind it. Scarves, even waved are minute in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much like housing immigrants, i'm all for it but not on my doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 For those of you not on social media, we had 6 hours at the ipro yesterday doing more flags, another 100 normal ones, couple of biguns and 3 double poled ones using stencils and graffiti. We've started planning our next big idea, and hope to announce that soon, but we will need more financial support for it so if you are happy to donate, please start saving your pennies for when we unveil the plan. Thanks all, the vast majority on here have been really supportive of what we're trying to do and hopefully the next phase will be something that everyone agrees is positive.

Alph Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Good work lads!!! Everyone loves a good atmosphere but they want it done for them. Or they wait for certain people to chant! C'mon people, loosen up. As for the flag waving, wouldn't want them waved during the game but I'd like to see them up for longer at the start, goals etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
