For example, at Coventry on Tuesday, it was shite from the Cardiff fans.
The Coventry fans (that were there) in their little singing corner easily outsang us throughout the game as a young lad (cardiff fan) was trying to encourage his fellow fans to sing.
And that is supposedly 1100 of our 'fenatical' support as you say.

Why do you go to matches to sing or support the club?

I left the house today to meet BigElyDaz (those that know me will know Daz!) with a great feeling about todays game, thinking after the international break, and a few away games that the atmosphere and crowd today will have picked up in anticipation of a home game! (at last!)
But how disappointed was I, Daz and the others standing around us! Through out the game we started pretty much 80% of all songs sung today! with the help of others around us, and continuously encouraged by a few others through out the 90 mins to start songs as nobody else had the guts to shout out to a silent crowd! shame really that we rely on the players to inspire us with a moment of magic or a goal to get things going - It should definitely be the other way around.....
If the atmosphere continues to disappoint us this much and on such a regular basis, We talked earlier about dropping our home season tickets for next year to just try our hardest to travel away from home instead, as most of the fenatics and hard core singers and the fans that are really up for it travel away from home. I hate to say this but even though we won today, after a pretty abysmal performance, and a right old ground out result from the lads, Mason and Malky in particular, we will only frequent the CCS next year on a more relaxed basis and prefer to try to travel away, so that we can actually bring back the feel good factor we use to feel years ago when we were a side that used to battle and fight to stay in the division rather than push out of it.
I suppose it is a bit of a negative post - but we really tried hard today, and couldnt get much of a response from the Canton crowd. Might go and browse the Forest forum now for their views on the fans today (even their support was pretty sad in all honesty - what is going on is strange to say the least!)
BUT - Congratulations to the lads today a great 3pts and keeps us moving in the right Direction! well done MM on the salute to the crowd - last man of the field again...

The same half a dozen very short tunes rattled out game after game, season after season. I try and get up to sing as much as I can, but in my area of the Canton no one seems that bothered, and you can't blame them sometimes really, when the abysmal dirge "Men of Harlech" (duh, duh, duh, duh, duh , duh, dudh. duh, duh) is half heartedly knocked out yet again. Imagine how incredible MOH would sound if we only had the bollocks to learn and sing the proper words!
Whoever starts the tunes, needs to get some good new ones going. Nothing complicated, just simple, witty chants that people want to sing.
Maybe there could be some sort of effort by the different away coaches or the trust or something to try and get new things going, as one or two fellas on their own doesn't seem to work.

oh give it a rest mate, and drop the condensending attitude, I support my club by going out, having a few pints with fellow friends and forum members then singing a good few songs to help the lads along from row GG of the canton! I've been going since 1993 and my intentions are all good. thanks.
