| Well that is fair enough as i do not know you by sight i dont know who i am talking to but you obviously know who the singers are on this forum. As a group however we can do more to get others involved as we all have ideas.

| having returned from perpignan where the atmosphere was as bad as it is at the galpharm, we came to the conclusion that our supporters are simply not interested in making noise and singing/shouting for the team etc, they are happy to sit and watch and applaud when we score etc but dont want to make noise, thats their choice and i respect that.our catalans supporting drinking buddy says we were the quietest fans to go to perpignan this season,however last game with not a lot to play for is understandable i suppose.
however, the atmosphere at home games is as poor as i can remember it being in over 20 years,as people have touched upon on here it hasn't been helped by the season ticket thing,but people can still choose to sit in the kilner bank and join in with the vocal support if thats what they want to do.
i can see where eaton and conorgiantsfan are coming from regards idea's to help liven the solemn mood at home games, but i dont think singing football songs that wannabe ultra's sing is the way to go guys,as for drums,not for me, once in a while to get a chant going is fine but not a constant banging for 80 minutes thank you.what some of the younger fans on here should realise though is that while danril and wadski may come across as beeing miserable old gits,what they are trying to say is that most of us on here are the singers! or have been for the last god knows how many years and we are the ones that do try but it comes to a point where you realise people just want to sit and watch the game im afraid.
we also have a lot of " older" supporters who have stuck with the club through the dark days and they remain mainly our core support,we haven't been lucky in the fact that 2 generations of our support was lost and therefore haven't been able to attract young impressionable supporters which we are starting to do now.
as for having no songs, well you cant have been to many away games

| Quote: Gahan "You not bother with the other 7 lines then excluding the customary Fartown bit at the end
Wise Men say
Only fools rush in
But I cant help
Falling in love with you
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I cant help
Falling in love with you
Great song'"
which i can assure you was belted out with great gusto around place de la republique in perpignan on saturday night along with many other old favourites

| Quote: Eaton "Sorry but i am attempting to help, what you mean when i said the singing section dont sing enough, well they dont its just fact. I have supported Huddersfield all my life and i do know all the songs thank you very much, whats wrong trying to help the club, the whole point of forums is to discus these kind of things aint they? In the past i have sugested certain singing sections where everyone should sit etc and a few seam up for it yet most dont want change yet expect somthing to happen and it wont until we do this as a group as big as possible which im sure you will agree with. I dont understand why you are having such a go at me when i have not done anything wrong, i have only said what a lot of people think. saying our fans dont sing enough is true and you dont seam to be able to live with it. No need to have a go at me.'"
You don't know all the songs. You counted 6, there are plenty more than that as Daz said.
You're having a go at the singers for singing. This is a basic, fundamental flaw and I've already tried to highlight this to you but it seems to be a bit above your level. It isn't the singers that are the problem, it's the non-singers. Find a way to engage those non-singers and you have solved it. It's not an easy answer though is it. Is that why you persistently keep ignoring it?
You think I'm having a go at you? Well as I have said numerous times now but you keep ignoring, you are having a go at the singers and disrespecting their efforts. You may be attempting to help but you aren't helping at all. You are criticising and complaining without offering a single decent solution to the problem you're complaining about. It's a complete waste of time, especially when there's a huge game on this weekend.
And as an aside, I bet seeing as these half 4rsed ones that wont part with £15 wont turn in this weekend that the atmosphere will probably end up being much better, result & performance of course playing a part.

You can leave the lid at home for me!

| I did not realise that you all were the core singers then that is why i was wondering why you replyed back like you did. I do go to all the away games and i only hear 6 songs which i have counted however it is not you lot that sing them its the other younger lads that do that, that is why i thought that, it is obviously just a few of you whom sing the more older one's as i dont hear them due to the small numbers of you who sing them. I will bring it up at the SA tonight as Jamer Brammar will be present so i will mention how a fair few fans would like a better atmosphere and i shall put forward a few ideas, and what we can do.
