Yep I love this before the match, I'm out of town and you can barely hear it over the announcers when watching on tv and it still get's me all pumped up for the game! great tune!

On the other hand, the few games i've been at lately does seem a bit like we are sheep as Joe Kool said...telling us to raise flags, and say the last name bit...Not a fan of them announcing that kinda stuff, there are enough supporters in the stands that after one name is called out everyone else realizes what we're doing

While I agree about telling us to put our scarves in the air, and I’ll say the first name, you say the last, they have been doing both for a while. It’s not like it’s something new.

I’ll just point out the Bayern does something similar to this, plus after goals, the announcer starts a chant.

If there was anything to "improve" upon atmosphere I'd say #1 above all is getting the south end united. Different chants being sung from one section to the next at the same time, Not sure how it can be done but it really would benefit the entire atmosphere at BMO.

Yeah, a lot of European teams do stuff like this. I mean, it’s better than some people yelling “Defense” while everyone around them tells them to shut up because they can’t hear whoever they’re talking to on the phone or passing out “We don’t give a crud!” chant sheets.

I think this will take time but I will say that everyone involved in leading the chants in the south end this year across all sections are doing an excellent job really trying to coordinate things so kudos to every one of you. It is a really tough job since they are working with hand signals and other queues and are not all connected together with headsets or anything. I can imagine it is quite difficult to coordinate but I see the effort from the top of 114 and it is slowly getting there because at times the whole south end is doing the same thing for a period of time before sync is lost or whatever. It is amazing how fast the timing is lost though like a bad game of Row Row Row Your Boat sometimes....haha. I applaud everyone who is making the effort.

Totally agree, it definitely was not a shot at any of the capo's or anything. Just an observation, and thinking how amazing it would be if it was united. :scarf:

Yes. For a while. But they still need to stop it

Totally ruins the positive vibe for me and almost makes me want to stop doing it. Wish the front office would just piss off and let everything happen naturally. We are not sheep.

Awesome. Totally agree

Well at least they are not doing as the Impact does and puts up get load/cheer instructions on the jumbo screens. That was the most laughable thing I've ever seen!

I LOVE THiS

People have gone on about wanting anthems and we were given one to our group and to hear it sung before the match is an honour.

Finally, a meaningless made-up cup Atlanta can’t win! :)

WE got the crucial away goal in this home and home matchup for this seasons instalment!
