Two Hampden full houses (if OF are not playing each other) will generate huge revenue for us. Work it out for yourself and then add on the extra prize money too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have an Avenue open to us to rectify Tuesdays defeat, beating Ayr would be massive. The crowd have to do their bit and be as noisy as possible. The young team are vocal but there are only a few of us in the Grangemouth end of the South who sing. We need the whole Main and South to be singing on Monday. No point having crowds of 4 thousand plus if the place is like a library. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So things like displays are easy for them. If we were to do a display it has to cover the whole KM7 stand. We're attempting one for Ayr so hopefully it works 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Pars fans created a good atmosphere during Novembers game though so hopefully we can do likewise on Monday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some diddies singing about dead people but not much else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same guy who does the displays in the North West has done displays in the Norrie and at Falkirk. They were about as simple as you could get but everyone was aware about them beforehand. Edit :While not exactly difficult, they are very time consuming for whoever is organising it. Edited March 9, 2023 by Grant228 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit :While not exactly difficult, they are very time consuming for whoever is organising it. Our last attempt at a display against you a few years ago was woeful. It was a spur of the moment in reaction to the fans being miffed at the club for allowing the Pars to create the top picture display. It wasn’t well planned and not everyone knew about it. As you say these things have to be planned and communicated. Edited March 9, 2023 by Harry Kinnear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old fashioned singing and certainly no drums 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I would be banging the fecker though. I love seeing some of the displays the foreign clubs, especially the Italians create. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I cringe when I see the "ultras" in Scotland. So glad we don't have anything like this. Wee kids in balaclavas with their choreographed pish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Nothing worse than a tiny away support coming, you get a good 10 mins into the game, and you hear a drum banging. Kills me every time 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairns1994 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I like a bit of smoke and pyro at the games. Darvel was class for that and although it was a shite view, the terracing combined with some pyro built a great atmosphere. Scottish football is shite for building any atmosphere. You go to Italy or Germany and you're encouraged to make noise and have a few beers, but here you see stewards chasing away young kids celebrating close to the pitch edge, like on Saturday against Peterhead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
