We sit at the back of the Britannia and might be regarded as part of the 'singing' section so it is easy to look down over the stand and see how supporters respond to what is going on. Although we have been hard-pressed to get any sort of singing/chanting going (and our numbers in this section have also declined alarmingly from previous seasons - our row from being almost fully occupied now has about 6 people in it) we have noticed that any chants that do get going the response seems to have spread/be spreading throughout the stand directly in front of us and outwards so the potential is definitely there. I think people do want to join in but are too shy/embarassed/reluctant/isolated to do so. On the other hand I can accept that people watch and support the game how they wish but there are several that sit in front of us that can't even manage to clap when we score and the disapproval that radiates for even daring to shout/chant/cheer/clap can be quite off-putting - how they think their almost complete silence encourages the team on the pitch I don't know. I'm not sure what the answer is - perhaps the club could organise a brain-storming get together specifically to put forward suggestions for increasing crowd participation and hopefully gates too. I know people on the boards/social networks often put forward suggestions and there are some good ones but perhaps this needs to be co-ordinated and centralised..

no RHP on the speakers either?

It was just you. The music was just as loud and to be fair added to the atmosphere.

After about 6 minutes the Britannia rescue were so loud that it was loud over in the Direct Golf.

The couple of hundred Hull KR fans who came helped the atmosphere too. Well down from their heady days of bringing 7,000 fans

The new announcer is much better than RHP

Which stand are you in Wigsey ? i actually thought it was only playing to the Riverside stand at times but i weren't sure

Riverside. It was definitely playing to there. I sit on that side towards the Fantastic media 25 yard line. Loads of families in there an the Kids love the music.

maybe it was just in your stand then cos it was very quiet over our way which made for a much improved atmosphere.
