Stick it in the West Stand at Langtree - they need it more than you lot do

Yeah that would be a good idea, never really is many away fans unless its a big game though

it was quiet on the platform this morning

You know what! you wouldn't need a singing stand if the games were better with more intensity, the games against Saints Warrinton and Leeds are the only ones that offer this.

That's the big problem at home games.

As long as it doesn't turn into the Brigantes of 12 months ago. They were singing (use the term losely) and even when I was in the centre of the South Stand I couldn't understand what they were singing. Maybe it was the scarves around their mouths were muffling the sound.

Dear Mr Chairman,
It wont work. A lot of the singers are in the South Stand on junior season ticket prices. They wont pay East Stand prices. Furthermore, how are you going to control whats sung in the family stand? Will it be stewarded by the club at their own expense, and the ban on swearing rigidly enforced? or will the club allow/condone/turn a blind eye to swearing.
Will the songs be hand picked by the club and possibly handed out on printed song sheets to be sung in a particular order? Will the stadium announcer direct operations? "we will now sing song 46 on our song sheets".
Will the stewards chastise anyone who goes into the singing section but doesnt sing?
Will the club be making a "non-singing" section for fans who want to sit and watch the game and occasionally applaud?
This will never work. Singing should be spontanious.

Hopefully next season will pass by quickly and we can get on with 2015 and some meaningful action.

Some of the posts on that club Facebook page are a joke. Apart from the embarrassingly bad spelling, it's mostly people saying there's no need for a singing section because "the whole stadium should be singing". Well durr, that'd be nice in cloud cuckoo land, but at least the club are being pro-active and looking for a solution.

I think the East Stand could work. Say if the club allocate the upper area of E8 as the 'singing section' (I doubt there are any ST holders in that area now). Then announce it and open the area up for sale, with a clear statement that anyone wishing to sing will be recommended to go in this area. Still allocated seating. It could work.

And the award for tool of the year goes to..........

If you dont like swearing at sporting events I would strongly suggest polo. Swearing in songs has happened for decades, all clubs do it, in every sport.
