OK here goes, I'm looking for honest answers. I'm not interested in what you would do if you could get to a game, I'm reaching out to those that go, be it week in week out, several times a year or the one's that possibly only managed an odd cold, Tuesday night in the weakest competition we're competing in currently.
My question is what makes you (and imo you're in the majority sadly), not what to sing along with your fellow fan? What is it that makes you feel it's OK to let endless fans from all over Europe mock and completely out sing us?
Is it embarrassment? Do you not feel comfortable being there, if so why not watch it on the TV?
Do you not know the songs? If so what lengths do you go to learn the old and new songs?
I'd love to know the answers from fans who go, where are these voices who were so quick to sing 'we're gunna win the league' back in April/May, has the cat got your tongue.
I'll start myself by answering from my perspective. I go several times a year, I'm by no means a regular, work sees to that, but when I go I come out horse from singing. If I don't know a new song I'll try singing along and if I've not got it by the end of the match, I make sure I know it the next time I'm at a game. What the f**k has happened to our fans Jesus!
Read your post with interest Fowler23, I was at the Middlesborough League cup game last Tuesday night, in the Kop, block 104, quite near the front, it was, as you will know quite exciting towards the end with goals, extra time and of course a massive penalty shoot out, there was me, singing, shouting, clapping, supporting our team, there were 3 people in front of me, they never moved a muscle, hardly clapped, never sang ANY of the songs, and I'm saying to the lad next to me, it should be a criminal to come on the Kop and not sing any songs....not even YNWA, I'm suspecting they were foreign, but as I heard none of them speak, I'm not sure, it frustrates the hell out of me
why the hell do they bother to go, when they're not even prepared to try
I wanted to bloody shake the lot of them.....now today, I've been back on the Kop, this time in block 304, and for those of you who know Anfield will know its right at the back of the kop, it was absolutely buzzing as you'd expect on Derby Day, yet there were still some people not singing some of the songs....why? Embarrased? don't know the words?
Should be a cert to sing on the Kop, its part of being on the Kop....would be a tradegy if we ever fully lost that special Anfield atmosphere, cos when it's on full song, its the best feeling in the world......experience it yes.....but for god's sake, join in will you.
