If you've all got such big mouths on here use them at the football! :ball2: with your scarves etc!! Other than my 1st comment thought you made great effort y'day, keep it up!!thats my fav chantStarcross_Gull wrote:I sit in the grandstand & whilst we cannot hear all that is chanted from the 'popside' but one thing that I did pick up on y'day was that within minutes of kick off all we could hear were the chants of Exeter are sh**e etc, personnally I do not see the need for this and how can that be classed as 'getting behind your team out on the pitch?
On a positive note it was good to see a group of you getting behind the Lindsey singing on the pitch, swaying
Nothing wrong with singing anti-exeter songs, I don't like exeter and never will.Starcross_Gull wrote:I sit in the grandstand & whilst we cannot hear all that is chanted from the 'popside' but one thing that I did pick up on y'day was that within minutes of kick off all we could hear were the chants of Exeter are sh**e etc, personnally I do not see the need for this and how can that be classed as 'getting behind your team out on the pitch?

True, we tended just to lay down a drum beat and see what people want to sing. Generally, a rythmic continuous thud can be used for any songParry wrote: Nothing wrong with singing anti-exeter songs, I don't like exeter and never will.
And walshy I do join in and try to get others going but it's hard. Anything that doesnt have the words 'yellow' or 'army' seems to be a bit too exotic for most.
To be honest starcross I don't think they mind. Any singing (within reason) from the fans is a positive IMO. Every club sings about their rivals- it's a laugh for the fans and the players aren't exactly going to be affected in a negative way are they?Starcross_Gull wrote:You might not like Exeter parry & like to sing anti Exeter chants but do you really think that the Torquay players out on the pitch want to hear that? Am sure they would rather hear you getting 'behind' them, who cares about Exeter, we are at Plainmoor to support Torquay are we not?
Forever, if you're annoyed with the atmosphere being bad, why are you in the corners and not in the middle singing with the rest of us?forevertufc wrote:To me the atmosphere was as bad as normal today,i go from corner to corner on the popside,and stood on the corners you can not here what is being chanted at the half way line.
All i could hear was a dull thud of what might have been a drum,and nothing else,to me the last few minutes the normal yellow army chant got louder,have to say i do not mind copying other clubs chants rather that than nothing.
That said there are some you just dont copy,and the likes of bubbles,you never walk alone etc are among that list,just aint right.
And when it does, Cl***s like newton gull make a big song and dance about it.Parry wrote:

Benno,i dont recall ever saying i was annoyed at the bad atmosphere at plainmoor,what i have said on a number of times,is iam 100% behind what you guys are trying to do.Benno wrote: Forever, if you're annoyed with the atmosphere being bad, why are you in the corners and not in the middle singing with the rest of us?
It can't really be done. I've stood in both corners and not heard a thing when there could be 500-100 singing. All you can really pick up from down there is the drum beat. There's no really way we can get the whole popside singing because the noise doesn't travel. You can hear us loud and clear from the other three stands and the players can hear us when there are only 5 or 10 singing. GIVE US THE AWAY END!forevertufc wrote: Benno,i dont recall ever saying i was annoyed at the bad atmosphere at plainmoor,what i have said on a number of times,is iam 100% behind what you guys are trying to do.
And to try to get the message across,which Walshy seems to have understood that you guys are singing your hearts out on the half way thinking you are creating a great atmosphere but half the ground can not hear you.
I heard you guys signing 'when the gulls go marching in'when i was walking out the ground it sounded really good,to create a great atmosphere you guys have got to find a way of getting that chant and others going right across the popside.
