So in an attempt to generate more of an atmosphere at Yankee stadium, NYCFC are handing out chant sheets to fans on their way in. Note it's not the supporters groups , but the FO doing this.

interesting. Surely an SG, 'Third Rail' or whatever they're called, had something to do with this? Can't blame them for trying, but risky as far as culture-growing this early on..heh

Dunno why SGs couldn't just hand them out at gate/on way to match. We do it.

Don't know whether I think that's a good idea or whether it's 'tinpot' support seeing as people have to prompted to sing the right chants/songs.

I think if you want people to sing, you hand em out. People at Canada games always respond well.

I'm not picking on the fact there were sheets, so much as the fact that it was the FO that handed them out (probably paid people to hand them out).

It's one thing of some dedicated supporters are trying to expand the support base, but this way it feels like the FO is trying to manufacture something.
