Fact is if we had sweet stands at the game it would cost a fiver for a sherbet dip and the reality is it's not going to improve support one bit.

What will increase supporters is winning games which will drive positive PR, cheaper match day prices (though I do feel we have some of the best prices in the game, particularly the free kids) and Bradford continuing to play poor.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is that really, there isn't a great deal more the club can do, that they aren't already doing. Not realistically anyway.

its all very well saying that the singers at the back should sit in the middle, but one of the reasons people sit in the middle is because they dont want to sit amongst loud noisy supporters so scratch that.

ATEOTD the singing section has been in the same place since we started playing at the ground.

All this "the will to do it" crap is just that; crap. If the people who want to sing but daren't for fear of offending others in their proximity don't have "the will" to just go ahead and try and build the atmosphere where they are then why should those who do take that option relocate? It's a two way street isn't it.

I sit in the middle because it's a better view, even though all my mates sit at back.
I think atmosphere won't change and we shouldn't complain either. Let's just be thankful that they turn up to watch the mighty giants. Roll on saints, surely going to be a cracking atmosphere in front of the sky cameras

I miss singing at the back of the John Smith's stand

i know the feeling fella

Do you want us to do you a tape and then send it to you

hey you two chose to bugger off......we didn't kick you out

Must admit, you did try to keep me by frigging taping me to the seat at the St Helens game in 2004

hehe that was funny

I think a lot of the problem stems from the awful music that blares out after each try/goal that totally drowns out any significant chants or songs at home. When away the crowd response is better/more synchronised because no music to obscure it.

For instance what is that awful drone used awaiting the team entering the field at the GalPharm? and whatever tunes are played after try/goal etc... do they really add to the home atmosphere or detract from it?

I would suggest "those that sing" coordinate with the match DJ or whoever so that music played (if it must be) is a prompt for chants/songs to start on the terraces. Just an idea?

Finally although I hate to admit it the SL club that has this best structured as team enters field is Leeds, with a tune all fans know and recognise as a Leeds one "Marching On Together". We have "Wise Men Say" so perhaps that should be played at start and see whether crowd would sing that to welcome team on field?

I await the we will never follow ayhingthe Rhinos do comments....blah....blah
