Some lovely comments on here about this game and this thread

What a scummy pile of filth from a despicable club and fanbase.

We can't make it hostile....we will see about that!

136 years of history vs 11 years.

Yeah, maybe hostile was a bad choice of words. But Port Vale showed that when there was something different going on i.e. flags etc it made people louder.

This is a great idea in my opinion.

I remember going to a friend's birthday party when I was 7 years old and it was really boring - I couldn't wait until my mum and dad came to pick me up. Conversely, I had much fun at all the other parties I attended. The common denominator in the better events was balloons - something the boring party didn't have. Everyone knows balloons add to an atmosphere!!!!

At least if the game is really crap we can distract ourselves by playing keepie-uppies with the balloons in the stand, or try to gather them all up and tie them to someone as an experiment to see if they can get airborn. It'll be brilliantly funny if one of the balloons drifts on to the pitch whilst the game is going on because one of the players may step on it and scare himself when it goes bang haha.

I don't really care for flags though. They remind me of the time when I was 12 years old and our class was made to do orienteering:
I completely lost my bearings and ended up round the back of the school mound. Some of the older kids were smoking and asked me what I was doing there. I carefully explained I was doing an orienteering exercise but I'd lost my team. They pushed me over and laughed and said maybe it should be called disorienteering. I never wanted to go anywhere near that mound ever again.

I think it's no coincidence that there were a lot of flags about for the orienteering exercise and I encountered hostility like I'd never seen before, so definitely a good idea for the intimidation factor. Combine this with the balloons to get the party atmosphere and you have all the elements there for a good crowd.

Perhaps there could be someone at the front of the stand to conduct the singing? I remember in assembly at school the teachers did this and they pulled the singers putting in the most effort to the front of the assembly hall. Eventually there would be a small group at the front leading the rest. It's a really good idea because if one of your mates gets chosen you put in even more effort because you don't want to be second best.

I get it. Balloons and flags are for kids. Har har chortle chortle. You put some fucking effort into raising the atmosphere then.

I'd be more worried about their vast travelling army of 250 to be honest

I hate this whole 'fishing' or 'trolling' crap. It's just a lame excuse to be a cunt. "Yeah, I'm going to talk shit about something and generally act like a fool with the sole purpose of pissing someone off."

careful now, they are armed with brownie songs and quite possibly a drum.

I was worried Jay was working too hard, he has finally exploded!

However saw this and can we please arrange similar at the County Ground.... but with a bloody great steam engine!

Quality idea. I'll arrange a bring and buy sale - perhaps at Gary Stanley's annual end of season barbecue.

Don't worry about the trolls Jay, they either don't attend or prefer the moaners.

I can confirm that Si Pie never attends or tries to get an atmosphere going. Useless speccy prick.

Honestly Jay, don’t worry about it. The Trust was getting grief on here a year ago, mainly from the same suspects. It’s your turn now, and whoever sticks their head above the parapet and tries to do something next will no doubt be on the receiving end too.

Change your tampon mate, you're bunged up again.
