Proud to be RPB!!!

[prizby]

There might have been less ppl singing but it's also one game... We have all seen what Usector can bring to the table when it comes to chants they'll bring it in spades! For those that know me I was rusty yesterday but held on. Being on the stand is a tough job that takes a toll on you, Bobby has probably being doing that since I can remember... I was talking to another member from Usec and I gave him the same advice that I am trying to do with us...we need to pass on the torch. So although it's the second game at BMO I am already looking for those that have the DNA to Capo.

you shouldn't need a capo to be able to use your ears, hear what is being sung, and then use your voice...we shouldn't be making excuses for them and their lack of effort or even attempt to add to the supporters

112 and the bottom of 111 rocked it for a while on their own; that is what counts

Much respect to Section 127. We could hear you very well in 108. Keep it up!

What? I'm not making excuses for anyone... and 111 was sporadic at best... the fact is having someone to co-ordinate and spread chants when we have no roof is paramount. Focus on how we can improve... you manage to purposely sabotage every thread with some sort of negative criticism to me that is "lack of effort or even attempt to add to the supporters".

Out of respect for Bluenose and the ideology of this thread perhaps y'all could nip this in the bud before it goes further. In this world we need to search for the positives and hold onto them!

[FluSH]

On a happier note,

Thank you to the guys in Mid 111 that Started "Liquors and Whores" LMAO! That was funny... And brought some great MTL memories.

Also, to those brave souls that SUNG with me... LMYR and "Falling in Love You". THANK YOU

so the only person you feel like jumping on about 113 being more quiet is me despite 2 other people criticizing how quiet was before I even said anything...

It was your choice of words... We can discuss further elsewhere, not about to derail another thread.

[Abou Sky]

There's a website you should check mook-life.com it's a blog for like minded people it focuses on people who try to live life different then most

Dood, badass!

How about breaking at a tail gate? I have no more lcl /mcl and half an acl in my left knee so I can only bounce but you have a crew that would come out?

Yeeeeaaa!

[Huyton]

Without a roof, all you can hear are the people around you. If they decide to go a liitle faster or slower then all you can do is to follow. The result is just noise.

The Capo is there to try to get everyone in sync. If you cannot hear him, watch the hand signals and try to use those to stay on track.

Been following the developments out of 127 with intrigue and really happy to hear that something can be heard coming from there. They are really eager and fresh and seem to have a good thing going visibly with a good half of that section all standing. Like the new scarves too. Things are just getting going there, and I notice they are eager to take some leadership from the South so one day this year I expect some proper cross-stadium unison like the old days.

[ChrisFizik]

props to daddy sky on his boy knowing all the chants -- put a smile on lots of our faces at Shoeless there. We'll keep building on that pre-match energy as days get warmer and sunnier.



Good result in the end yesterday but man was it looking grim there around 75.....grey clouds rolling in, everyone just about completely frozen, few hardcore of us scattered keeping chants going just to stay warm...... but then those two goals. I think it was a combination of pure relief at something on the pitch and a chance to warm up that the burst of energy. That's what goals will do any match really hehe. Too bad all the GO Train ppl have to miss that....(or was there really a fire drill?? haha)



Capoing isn't something taught but should come naturally from being at matches and natural chant leadership.
Not worried about 113 -- if there has been an influx of new ppl over there, without any hint of leadership from characters like Bobby or whatever -- how in the hell would they know to join in with us? Weather and perhaps someone in their capo stand for just one match will change that I'm sure. Kind of sucks, but whatever, it's just a thing for now.



Thanks to all helping hoist the AllForOne banner. Anyone from farther away or above get a photo of it? It'll look better in its final resting/display place of course, but getting to show it off was fun.

So where is Bobby? The times I've watched CCL games from 114, I've really enjoyed his energy and style. He also seems to work well with whoever is working the 112 stand...it has always appeared to be a synergistic relationship, with the whole being more than the sum of the parts.

[ChrisFizik]

Bobby is there and a master Capo no doubt. Always working together with us/only way it would ever work. But I think he is taking a break from being on the stand, burnt out a bit last year. Hasn't seen a match in 5 years. haha. No but seriously, if he wants a break, that's c00l, he's earned it, but it would be nice if 113 started getting into it by following our stand or someone steps up there into the 113 one. Like I said, it'll just take a bit of leadership for a match or two to get U-Sector lively again.

just worth pointing out - and most of the guys in this thread know it too - we had a 'capoless spell' for a while last season, and got though it. The usual crowd of singers and jumpers in the mid section carried the songs, and hopefully 113 works it out the same way until they get a capo back. it's a thankless job on boring days, and a hell job on bad ones. Props to anyone who gets up there and makes it work

Please no harsh comments just a fellow tfcer giving his thoughts. I was sitting in section 104 for last nights game, and I DID NOT hear a single thing. Dont know if the wind had something to do with that. Just my 2 cents

[Pint]

Good point...how are the Kings of the North doing?

Doing well thanks for asking, we had 15-20 people pregame at brazen. The section was a little sparse and the front is still dominated by NEE but they seam to be open to us.

Hoping that we can build on the last 2 weeks and carry that into the games on the 20th and 24th. Considering we are just 2 games in we are well ahead of where we thought we would be at this point.

We followed along a couple times yesterday, not everyone used to the songs etc so have been trying to keep it simple for now.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LATELY?

In what "LALA I'M REAL SUPPORTER LAND" do you live to constantly look for something to bitch about?

Please spear us yours negativism in this thread and DON'T CALL OUT OTHER SG here,this thread name is Proud to be RPB!!! and if you are not proud to be one,then stay away from this thread,no one is interested in your constant whining.

Having said that,GREAT JOB BOYS AND GIRLS we had rough 85 minutes but we did not stop and at the end our passion and love for TFC was reworded!!

That is excellent!

In many ways, I enjoyed my time there last year...it has a number of advantages, like being able to harass the visitors (hope you gave all the abuse you could to Hassli), exit quickly, it's shaded in the summer, and out of the wind because you;re shileded on both sides.

Oh...and beer delivery...I'm really missing that this year.

The one thing I really intensely disliked about it was being right underneath the speakers.

I'm looking forward to your group blossoming, and I hope the remnants of NEE come on board...there are some nice people in there.

They are catching on, we handed out pamphlets this past week and many of them were interested in.

No hassli this past week(i had many comments to make about his wife hold on him) we gave it to Donovan last week.

It's a great vantage point for the game and hopefully we can turn it into a great community. RPB has been great to us as well, giving us advice throughout.

I'm not joining in with any complaints here - just an observation:

I've got two season tickets this year - one in 113, and then another in 114, around 10 seats between the two. I spend some of the game in one spot, and some in another. I've actually noticed that there is a huge difference between the chanting level , and the noise/atmosphere, between the two places. 113 is loud, easy to join in with chants from the capo. 114, just 10-ish seats away, is quiet, and very difficult to chant on your own, and there is a big noise gap between 113\112\111 (where the capo is in the corner) and 114. I'm amazed how different it is between 113 and 114! ten seats difference, and it makes a massive difference to my opinion of the atmosphere!

I would love to see MORE capo's, not less, especially moving along from 113 to 114 and 115. I love the atmosphere in that south east corner, but I think it would be awsome to centralise the atmosphere, maybe try and get more of the south end singing all at the same time?

I come from England, so I'm used to a roof on the main stand, and you keep the atmosphere in the stadium with the roof. I'm honestly not sure how we can broaden the chanting to involve more of the south end without a roof (without having a capo in front of every section!).

I'm probably going to watch most games from 113, it really is a better atmosphere, even though 114 is just a few yards away!

It happens... Best games for chants are night games... Don't know why but you can hear us mich clearer then

Beer delivery!!! Whooooooah that takes me way back! When was the last time we had a beer guy or pizza guy in 112 lol. I feel like we are in Cuba and you are telling us about high-speed 'cause we are still using dial-up!
