Coming on here it gets very confusing to work out how a "proper" saints fan should act at a game. I think we need to know dress code half time snacking and drinking do and don'ts acceptable songs chants/banter that are considered funny and therefore acceptable when to stand/sit when is it acceptable to leave early/go and queue for a half time pint I think it's important we get these things right or we might shame the club in front of "proper" fans at other clubs... ........

Hemel Saint Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 Its a shame we now come to the stage that we have to sit in silence just in case whatever is sung is not acceptable to a few super-fans. a few peeps will now just lower their heads for fear of being criticised by a 'better' fan, for trying something new. Dont bother folks, lets ask the club to get in a drummer with a list of 6 songs that we all have to follow at designated times. ps. I am still unsure what chants I will be allowed to bellow out at Coventry on Saturday. Can anyone supply a list please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're allowed to do OWTS, but you HAVE to do 2.4658 verses slowly before you can speed it up. Anything else is totally unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFCDan Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 My list for being a proper fan: Check the results after every game if you couldn't make it for whatever reason, (be it transport, finance, location or a variety of other ones, attendance to every game home and away does not equal "proper fan"), and be happy when we win. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durleyfos Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 Here are some "dont's" DONT... - Sing (It's for girls and choir boys) - Wear replica kits (For 8 year old boys) - Sing pork pork and laugh every time, It really isnt funny - Laugh when fans sing AL is better than messi, It was funny the first time now it's not - Be a mong - Have a disco or go f**king mental - Pretend to be hard and just rattle a fence - Get excited when you see a player/players car - Get autographs if you are over the age of 10 - Pay £5 to type on a website So face paints and jester hats are acceptable?

Frighteningly, this seems almost plausible. I've just seen the future and it's horrible. I wouldn't be too suprised to see something like this at some grounds soon, as yet another way of ripping off fans to pay players' ridiculous wages. Fans could pay premium rates to send a message to appear on the big screen during a game. Hundreds could text Steeeve so it comes up on the screen every time De ridder gets the ball. In fact why stop there, why not pictures too? Dalek could send pictures of Hoddle, Dune of Thatcher, etc. Shudder.....and I thought drums would be the last straw.

Wes Tender Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 Apart from racial abuse and one or two other things that are deemed to be criminal offences/non-PC, the payment for a ticket entitles the bearer to do what they like in terms of what they wear, or chant, whether they leave early or not, what they choose to eat and drink, etc. It's called freedom of choice. Whereas those around them, (or more often the keyboard warrior superfans) can express their opinions as to whether it is cool or cringeworthy, nobody need take any notice of them if they don't wish to, as they are often not beyond criticism themselves. Live and let live. Because this thread has undoubtedly been started because of some killjoys' dislike of the chanting of player's Christian names, or before that, the waving of STs towards block 43, nobody is forcing anybody to join in. If a chant isn't widely supported, it will die a death anyway. If it continues and thrives, then who are these people who sneer at others who have paid their money to enjoy themsleves in which ever way they choose? As to fearing what other clubs' fans would think of us, who cares? We never bother about upsetting them when we chant insults at them. Have we really become so precious that we could give a stuff about what rival clubs' fans think of us? Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the discounted price of £299 for a season ticket text app facility for iphones and blackberries and £1.49 per text text tax this not only reasonably priced but a great way to show your support to the team during games and get your name featured on the big screens during the game.

Barry the Badger Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 (edited) Can somebody help me out. I am genuinely confused. Although this sounds like a ****take I'm genuinely interested in which of the following are considered "mongish", and which are not. On matchday I.... Go to the pub for midday and meet up with my mates, normally getting through 4 pints before heading to the ground. I will also have a burger. Once at the ground we sneak in a quick bottle of lager and put on a bet between the four of us. Arrive in my seat as the teams are coming out. Stand throughout the game because everybody does where I am. Sing my heart out for the entire game (although I'm more of a joiner inner than a song starter). I will sing the Cortese song, and Barmy Army, I will chant Steeeeve and generally try to enjoy myself as much as possible, especially if Saints are winning but often also if they aren't. Clap quite a lot. Shake my head at people who hurl abuse at the players. Occasionally try to make a tactical insight, but more out of enthusiasm than any real football knowledge, so will often be wrong. Sometimes I will shout "switch it" or "close him down" although again more out of enthusiasm than any real knowledge.. Not boo. Shout SHOOOOOOOOOOOT even when I don't particularly think the player should shoot. Shout at the linesman even when I think he's probably correct. At half-time I will occasionally buy a hot dog or a pie if I am hungry. If it's busy one of the four of us will go down on 43 mins to queue for the beers, usually apologising to those in our row. Go mental and hug my mates and total strangers if we score an important goal. Get frustrated if we're not doing well but try not to get too moany. Sing "Nigel give us a wave" only if we're winning comfortably. Notice that Jose Fonte's song is not rythmically true to the original, but sing it anyway because I don't think it matters. Sometimes shout "who?" when the opposition make a sub. Will enjoy shouting this more when it IS a player I've heard of. Generally never chant "easy", the exception being that I did for the first time ever when we scored the third goal against Middlesborough, because it was seriously easy. Cheer if Pompey lose. Get slightly excited if I see a player outside the ground after the game. Pop into the pub for one last pint if we've won. Immediately start looking forward to the next game.

The Cat Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 I propose a row of people holding up big cards spelling out "SCHTEEEEEEVE". That would be just, so like, awesome. They could have letters on both sides and swap them around to create different messages. One could be "I LOVE FOOTY", or "SOCCER RULES". There were about 6 blokes in Block 37, probably mid 20's, wearing jester hats on Tuesday. I suggest we should refuse people (I hesitate to call them fans) like this entry at the turnstile. Mind you they'd probably be the sort of people happy to hold up a sign so I've changed my mind; let them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to lack the ability to read what I've written. Plenty of things on my matchday are not what the 'majority' do. Anyway, even if I do 'follow the crowd', part of what I enjoy at football is the atmosphere, the collective joy or pain of thousands of people and being involved in that. I would much rather be the type of person who occasionally gets carried away with that, than the type of person who watches it thinking how much more intelligent I am than all those people over there having a great time being part of something.

Deano6 Posted 2 November, 2011 Share Posted 2 November, 2011 You seem to lack the ability to think for yourself. Do you just copy the crowd with everything you do? Too right! What is it with this crowd behaviour at football matches?? When I go to St Marys I want to see 32,000 independent thinkers all doing their own thing. It makes for an electric atmosphere!
