Liven up Oakwell

You do know what you can sing without a telling off. Or you should.

 

Winnall. Could have been a legend; instead he'll always be a bellend.

 

Can I ask if you think our away support is good?

 

We could all sing. Can I borrow your rubber butt plug to the tune of little drummer boy.

 

i go to roughtly 15 games a year away, always sit in the home support ends, i've always enjoyed my away day experience watching the Barnsley fans i'd say wer really good away but your a tight group in a confined space, C,O,Y,R,

 

That’s the spirit

 

I wonder if the atmosphere today will be anything like that Walsall game?
That was terrific, what we'd give for a repeat.
Anyone thought of taking a kazoo to get the vibes started? Or even a comb and paper?

 

It is, especially when we don’t have a massive repertoire of chants at our disposal. There’s only so many times we can sing the same few songs a game. Obviously your example is rightly off the menu these days, along with the IRA song & the red suspenders rubbish. But at the minute we aren’t exactly lighting Oakwell up with free flowing entertaining football, so “Like watching Brazil” is off the menu. We don’t really have any crowd favourite players to make songs up about, & we definitely didn’t have any last season, so that has a knock on effect. So what are we left with? Not much.

And to add to that the club keep pissing about with the matchday & build up music, so can’t even get the usual clapping along to timerider going. Hopefully that changes today.

 

FAO Admin ………Oh just a minute

 

That’s quite good for you

 

The lack of atmosphere is still there in the championship. I can’t remember anything akin to an atmosphere in a normal league match since a Boxing Day 3-3 with Stoke years ago.

 

I think a drum would be only good if someone can play the drum properly. Not continiously bang it like they do at the sheffield resevoiur.

A standing section might help too but it would be better closer to the away fans.

We are capable of turning the volume up at oakwell again. Its good as a club we are debating what needs doing. We just need to come up with an idea and get on with it.

The club itself need to help too.

 

Vuvuzellas need to make a comeback in my opinion

 

What about a keyboard instead

 

Unallocated seating and/or safe standing which then allows those who want to make a noise to congregate.

 

Red Army.

 

Ffs no

 

Publicise that scarf day properly. If everyone turned up wearing a scarf and swung it around their heads as the team came out, the atmosphere would improve straight away. I think that pitchside announcer could do more as well. Instead of "You reds" try to get a bit of a competition going between the Ponty and East stand. Celtic do it and Braga in Spain do it and it sounds great. A simple shout of "Barnsley" from each stand and see who is the loudest.
