Quote: TVC15 "Absolutely spot on.
If just 10% of our ‘fans’ put in half the amount of thankless effort (to actually take the time to organise meetings, make flags, banners etc..,), noise, and passion that the Brigantes managed to put into the club, we wouldn’t have a problem with a lack of atmosphere.
To borrow & amend a line from JFK ,“Ask not what your club can do for you, ask what you can do for your club“.
I would also add my thanks to the fans still who take the time and effort to put up the flags in the South stand. Yet something else most fans just take for granted & man about when they aren't there. Was pleasantly surprised and amazed to hear a couple of chants starting in the East Stand last night - It can be done!'"
I was in the East Stand near where the chants started. It started with one or two people and this infected those around them who joined in. The 'one man Brigante' thing last night also showed that it only takes a small catalyst to get things going. I think most people want to get an atmosphere going but it just needs a Cataylst. Sometimes the game is the catalyst itself e.g. if the team is playing particularly well or if the game has particular meaning such as a Derby or against another close rival. So my take on last night is that what we need are just a few enthusiastic individuals strategically located in each stand to spark things off. If they operated as a team then it would be even better. I think this would be accepted more by the majority of the fans rather than trying to have a separate dedicated singing section or fan group.
