For the last couple of seasons there has seemed to be a real drop off in young supporters at the ground - the death of the free under-16 season ticket was probably a major factor - and I was worried we were struggling to attract them back to Ochilview, so it's smashing to see them come along and get behind the team. There was a brilliant moment in last week's home match with Queen's Park when Jimmy Scott scored and the yung team charged to the other side of the goal to celebrate with the players. The club, particularly Jamie Swinney, deserve a lot of credit too for their efforts to engage with young fans. We seem to have a better presence on Twitter (although the live minute-by-minute tweets need a heck of a lot of work) and "CEMSFC"'s media work is ever improving (although a more stringent line of questioning rather than "what's your thoughts?" would be welcomed). Long may it continue. match updates will be improving over time still getting used to it cant beat the famous line of "so brown whats your thoughts " classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you boys had a trombone at Gayfield 20 years ago- the Arbroath keeper was serenaded whenever he took a goal kick. 100 pished Meadowbank arseholes fans used to make a good atmosphere. The only time they ever resorted to instruments was when two guys turned up to Forfar with duck calls for some reason. Personally I think you should involve the grumpy auld yins by introducing the comb and paper at matches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more than enough trumpets in the QP support as it is. I saw the video of the young Stenny fans at Hampden on Twitter, and whilst you can't curb their enthusiasm, I don't think a small group of screeching 10 year olds is conducive to a good atmosphere. For me, a good atmosphere is down to a bigger crowd, a vocal crowd and ideally located in the one section of the ground. My favourite grounds to visit in this division for atmosphere are Forthbank and Ochilview. The proximity to the majority of our supporters means we always take a larger than normal away support, and we're always housed in a separate stand/terrace from the home support. A vocal support is considerably better than drums. Having everybody spread out across the stadium like Edinburgh, Peterhead, Berwick etc kills any atmosphere - and we're obviously going to take smaller numbers to these places too. Thinking back to our Scottish Cup last 16 game at Ayr a few years back and the atmosphere was superb. 400 odd Clyde supporters crammed into a small section of a proper ramshackle of a ground. That amount inside Broadwood or Hampden however is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TOPFITTER Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Those who support drums et al should stand next to said “entertainment “ to provide a human shield for who would rather not have to be bothered with it [emoji6]If it happens a every ground this “entertainment” I will save my weekly football spend and my wife and I will enjoy a bloody good holiday[emoji460]️ [emoji563][emoji905][emoji562][emoji925] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I applaud anyone who makes a bit of noise at our level. The Stenny youngsters, squeaky though they were, concentrated on supporting their team rather than playing at being bobby big baws and shouting abuse. Drums irritate the feck out of me but they were far enough away for it to be bearable. It's great for kids to be enthusiastic about their local team. We had a crowd of them a few years ago but heavy handed stewarding eventually wore them down and they disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Localized efforts by individual clubs are nice, but it'd be interesting for the SFA got involved for some league-wide initiatives. What with economies of scale, why not order a load of plastic inflatables for the wee nippers and bored adults to clap together for some extra noise? I've seen it in Singapore myself, it's actually quite effective. These things could be either league-branded or have the colours and crest of the club they are distributed to. Decent lil' collectible as well if you don't order from the cheapest Chinese sweatshop you can find. Never mind the 90's-cool bloke here but this is the general idea; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnsythebinman Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Cannae work out moaners who complain about the young ones making noise at fitba. As this chat title says - creating a noise at league 2 football - half the time there isnt atmosphere or any noise apart from a few old blokes snoring. bring the noise!

BullyWeeLad Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Only 1 club in this league has constantly made an atmosphere in this division since rangers and that’s Clyde.. real passionate fans that should not be anywhere near this tier.. imagine we were actually in a higher league for the 9 years we have wasted here, would be double it is now.. from the first season in this league our crowds have more than halved as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
