salford dont have any bands in the shed but we seem to make a lot of noise and yes we dont have a large travelling fan base but they too always make them selfs heard. see you friday and listen for the singing..

I like it......!!

Taking some positive action like this is probably the only way to improve the atmosphere to a marked degree.
af, the foundations are certainly there to start something off. Surely there are some people on here with marketing experience who can pick this up and take it to another level.

Being a "member" of such a group would certainly make you feel part of something and you'd almost feel obliged to get to every game, so not to let anyone down.

When (and if) the OSV is complete, that would be an ideal time to "pick a side" to congregate.

I've mentioned on here before the difference in atmosphere at football games, where pretty much everyone buys into what we are talking about. I know Chelsea have all the song words on the website. Also Man U even have "song writers" that make new chants up and distribute the words in the Stretford end, which then catch on to the full ground.

I hope this keeps the momentum...

how funny would that be though someone goes with a party of 10 and says to them i'm going over to the other side of the ground cause i want to sing.

you can call it the singing stand

I'm old enough to remember when you lot used to sing but when we come, if you ever manage to score then this billion-watt sound system kicks-in,this is bound to puit folk off, you couldnt hear yourself think let alone sing. they blare out nonstop. I reckon for them that used to sing its made it like watching on the telly not being there, they just listen.
Thems what still bothers going I mean

To be fair without getting into a my grounds better than your ground blah blah blah slanging match. I've never found Odsall a good ground for generating an atmosphere. Now Valley parade would be much better. That or a major re building of odsall so it has more than 1 roof.

Well there's two of us now - anyone else?

I'm stopping in the stand. Somebody has to roust the troops at that side. Though a lot are coffin dodgers and it ain't easy . . .

10 pints of lager is always useful I find

Oi! I sit over there!!

What's to say we don't congregate over in the stand anyway?

'cos you have to pay to transfer, and I am not paying to sing

Let's all get together for the wakefield game, any particular place people want to stand ?

Even the band we used to have seems to have sounded the last post
