The perfect day really, from the tifo to the performance on the pitch, and the atmosphere in the stands!

Can't wait! The Greatest Escape was a cracking read and I'll certainly be looking to get hold of a copy of this!

If I hear the word 'nervous' mentioned one more time... Everyone's a bit on edge, but some people still manage to sing so why can't others? Channel that energy into something productive like lifting the team. By and large the atmospheres we've created at home games this season have been great. With us on the brink of history, it would be a travesty (not to mention bizarre and somewhat embarrassing) if we let that slip off now. Things are surely going to get tight over the final few games, so we need to do our bit to will the lads over the line.

Definitely need to be on our A game tonight! Contrary to popular belief (on here), it is actually possible to be nervous and sing at the same time, so let's not fall back on that as an excuse. Get behind the lads!

More of these have been ordered too

It's a supporters group. More info here

Just renewed my ST. Looking forward to next year.

Still pissed off about the result, but I'll get over it. Otherwise, yesterday was a great success all round. Cheers to everyone who came to the meeting as well. Was really productive & also good to see a couple of new faces.

Loving the flag Steve! Yeah it's been a great year. Every match-day has felt like an occasion. Not just the game, but the whole day. Even if it were to fall on it's arse tomorrow, on a personal note, it's been well worth it for the people I've met & got to know better. Been a good laugh & hope the whole thing continues to grow, more people get involved & make the experience bigger & better.

Everyone's welcome mate. Doesn't matter where you're from.

As AndWhat? said, if you're at the game on Saturday, you can buy stickers then. It's £3 for a pack of 50 stickers, which includes 10 of each of the 5 designs shown below. Note, the Union FS ones aren't included in that.

Fair play! I'm impressed by the time you're devoting to this WUMery! Out of interest, any mods care to share with us why this bloke's posts are being deleted & his accounts suspended (if you're able/allowed to)? Bloke's got a right to his opinion even if no-one else agrees with it. Has he broken forum rules?

Great effort yesterday, thought the atmosphere was good up there! Always helps when we're winning/playing well but there seemed to be more people getting involved than usual. Thought the drum definitely added to the atmosphere, rather than compromising it. It noticeably helped keep chants such as 'Ring of Fire' at the right pace, so they could go on for longer. Keen to see it stay if we can continue to use it in the right way.

Agree with Loyalist to some extent about 'When you're tired & weary' & other songs of that ilk. Don't get me wrong, I like the old songs & think it's important not to forget about them but I do cringe a bit myself when I'm standing there singing 'you'll get your ****ing heads kicked in...' when I've got no intention of scrapping with anyone whatsoever. Same on the (rarer) occasions when songs like 'We don't carry razors' get going. When those songs first came about, they carried some real meaning to the blokes singing them. In today's completely different climate, it seems a bit tinpot to be trotting out songs about things that most of us have never experienced. On a different note, shame this thread has to descend into an L block vs SK1 slanging match after every game these days. Don't know how many times the point has to be made that it doesn't help anyone achieve anything!

Think despite the couple of arguments, there are a lot of positives to take out of yesterday, both on and off the pitch. Thought atmosphere-wise it was good up in SK1. Wouldn't say we were on absolute top form but there were a number of occasions where songs spread pretty well across the Kop and there weren't too many quiet periods. The banner also went down pretty well in the main. Obviously, not everyone will agree about the manager but, with the ethos of the group being to get behind the players and manager at all times, I think it's important to make our support clear, especially in tough times. Re Soup Nazi thinking of jacking it in, don't do it mate! Top bloke and we need people with your passion up there to drive this forward. It is frustrating sometimes when people around us don't want to get involved but, as I was saying to one lad yesterday, if you think back to last year, it's much better up in SK1 now. Sure, it's not as good as we want it to be but I'm confident we're moving in the right direction. Can't speak for anyone else but I've never enjoyed home games so much. Every game's an occasion now. Good laugh in the pub beforehand and it's great to know that you can enjoy the game in the company of like-minded people who want to be vocal. Don't think the arguments yesterday should be blown out of proportion but some good points have been made on here about making SK1 more united. As Dan LCFC said (I think?), Union is in the name and yet it does feel a bit divided at times. Everyone in and around the group should be able to get their views across, whether good or bad. If anyone's got suggestions on how things could be done better or ideas for displays etc, get in touch by email or meet us in the pub pre/post-match for a chat. Finally, the 'all going West Ham...' & 'loyal supporters' chants - just a personal opinion but don't think this stuff helps anyone really. Believe me, I'd love to be going to West Ham, had bought my ticket & everything. Shaping up to be one of the best aways of the season, but circumstances change & I can't make it anymore. People can sing what they like but that sort of stuff isn't going to get more people on board and will only lead to accusations of the group being elitist and thinking we're better than other fans...
