Think this should probably have been addressed before now, but we (well, you actual attender-wallahs) need to organise a properly hate-filled, abusive song to show the nation, via the medium of the telly, our world leadership in Franchise-hatred.
Something that evokes their plasticity, their shitty soulless town with its concrete cows, and their complete moral turpitude for buying into the biggest daylight theft since the Great Train Robbery.
Can some of you shouty types get onto it in time for a few rehearsals before Saturday? Thank you.
Hello. Returning to this forum after an absence of five years or so. We need a decent song for Mass, so how about, to the tune of 'Remember You're A Womble' to rub the MK Donkey's noses in it? Sung alternately by the TE and DR: Massimo Luongo... Massimo Luongo... The end bit needs some rehersal... Massi, Massi, Massi, Massi, Massi-mo Lu-on-guo. |

Not been this excited/nervous about a couple of games since..well a while anyway. I know the two games may not decide our destiny, but 4 points would be huge.
I think the fact that we've not played for what feels like an eternity has heightened the tension/anticipation or whatever you want to call it, even more. This for me is actually what the play offs feel like and I think that's how both games will be played and will have that kind of atmosphere. Having said, I've not really given the City game a minute's thought as yet. I really can't look past Saturday. |

Welcome back. I agree we need a song for Mass, but I do not believe this to be the answer! Also agree with the need for a decent anti-Franchise chant as mentioned earlier in the thread. Perhaps some sort of "Where were you when...?" type chant, or more simply something like "You're just a small plastic franchise". Basically anything that isn't to the tune of Sloop John B  |

In our last 'first season back' in the Championship, 96/97, we were averaging between 9 and 10k for most home games. I think with increased away followings, and hopefully an up turn in interest, we'd do similar next year.
A small crowd by Championship standards no mistake, but with increased TV revenue, clubs being willing to lend us a higher standard of loanee and Powers wiley ways in the market, I'm optimistic we could compete.
I agree with this completely. Duke - stop being a 'Debbie Downer' - immediately  |

I said a fortnight ago that it feels like the season has ended....and the fact that every other bugger is playing on Friday, doesn't help. Hopefully the players won't be metaphorically on the beach, but it'll be understandable if they are.... |

There's no excuse for the players not to put on a decent show on Saturday, especially if Preston drop points against Rochdale, who are no mugs.

When were we last on the telly twice in four days? Especially for two unconnected games (i.e. not playoff legs 1 & 2).

Never. We might have been on successive weeks on 'Central Match Live' back in the early 90's. |

Assume you're now just deliberately going out of your way to be as ridiculous as possible? |

Is there any other club in the UK with such an incredibly comprehensive and detailed history online? That website never ceases to suck me in. |

I agree with this completely. Duke - stop being a 'Debbie Downer' - immediately In the mid 70's Reading were getting lower crowds than us, sub 7,000. A typical club that we should be matching would be Burnley. I know a "hole" but not the biggest place in the UK they always turn out a decent crowd. Yes you will argue that there is not much to do in Burnley but a club I respect for their numbers. |

Possibly not I would say. |
