We dont support the team anymore other than when we score or are winning. Scunthorpe was very very poor and last night a massive game with us pushing for the premiership and after ALI shouted make some noise support the boys it was met with 5 minutes of silence. Its so bad i STArted thinking can i bothered with a season ticket next year, I will renew on reflection but I dont enjoy home games now and the sleepwalking coma fans we have become, rows and rows of even young fans clueless , old songs not being sung, not even for example one stand chanting to the other to do a song, the ayotollah is now RIP at home games, I could go on, for those of us trying to get it going I salute you all and we must keep going but sadly i really am despairing at the apathy and lack of chants on a weekly basis. We have become a club at home games that we always said will never be how manytimes have your mates said 'oh we'll never be like these other grounds we visit' but within 2 years we have. Everyone next home game lets try and get the place bouncing and show the passion we generate away

Is football the only entertainment strand where the performers get motivated to do their best? You don't go to a comedy gig and massage the ego of the comedian to tell a good joke, you sit, listen and if he performs well you laugh. You go to the theatre an ensemble cast perform and they may get a standing ovation.
Therefore why is it to peoples annoyance that others sit silent until some overpaid prima dona actually does something to deserve a cheer or a chant.
Could we have anymore threads about the same thing. Also I have sat behind both goals and the family stand is no more empty than the Canton Stand so before we moan about season ticket holders NOT turning up in the Family Stand can we get the empty seats in the Canton filled.
Back on the atmosphere front. Silent fans cannot get quieter, perhaps it's the two singing sections that need to look at themselves in respects to variety of songs, and the lack of gusto with which they sing.
