Think it was the checkertrade final before the game in the concourse, twist and shout was really loud, that went into the stadium. I think the atmosphere was better for that game than the POF
Didn’t Luton fans also have a load of flags? Be interested to know how it gave them the edge…Please just no plastic flags this year, way too Wasps at the PO final and contributed to our loss.
Crikey, not only is it unfeasibly long but none of it rhymes.

“ This is an interesting problem! The main challenge, as you mentioned, is the delay caused by the speed of sound. Let's explore the math and see if we can find a solution.
Given:
- Wembley Stadium dimensions: Approximately 315 meters long and 256 meters wide
- Speed of sound: About 343 meters per second at 20°C (68°F)
Step 1: Calculate the maximum distance between fans in the stadium.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the diagonal length of the stadium is:
Diagonal = √(length² + width²)
Diagonal = √(315² + 256²) ≈ 405 meters
Step 2: Calculate the time delay due to the speed of sound.
Time delay = Distance ÷ Speed of sound
Time delay = 405 meters ÷ 343 meters/second ≈ 1.18 seconds
This means that if fans on one end of the stadium start chanting, it will take about 1.18 seconds for the fans on the other end to hear it.
Synchronization solution:
One possible solution is to use a smartphone app that synchronizes using the stadium's Wi-Fi or cellular network. The app could:
1. Determine each phone's location within the stadium using GPS or other location services.
2. Calculate the distance from each phone to a central point, such as the center of the pitch.
3. Adjust the timing of the chant or song playback on each phone based on its distance from the central point, taking into account the speed of sound delay.
For example, phones farther away from the central point would start playing the chant slightly earlier than phones closer to the center. This way, the chants would reach the center of the stadium at the same time, creating a synchronized effect.
Challenges:
- Ensuring all fans have the app and can access the stadium's network
- Accurately determining each phone's location within the stadium
- Accounting for variations in sound speed due to temperature and humidity
In theory, synchronizing chants using technology is possible, but it would require significant coordination and development. Alternatively, you could use visual cues, like large screens or synchronized light displays, to help fans stay in time with each other.”
Around us last May all the obvious and pissed part timers could shriek was Sky Blue Army , not a great atmosphere. So many spent a lot of the game coming and going from the concourse, first to drink, then to have yet another piss. There was one bloke who kept walking up and down our row asking if anyone had seen his fucking wife, like we knew what she looked like anywayGood shout; think we underuse this one. If we're flagging a bit, just rinse this, keep it going.
and it's the only 'chant' that would still sound good if you had two groups going out of sync!

Just for the record, what tune should we be attempting it to?

Cos Luton didn't spend years taking the piss out of their plastic flag twats who nicked their ground.Didn’t Luton fans also have a load of flags? Be interested to know how it gave them the edge…
The concourse inside Wembley is probably the most underrated pre-match option of the lotThink it was the checkertrade final before the game in the concourse, twist and shout was really loud, that went into the stadium. I think the atmosphere was better for that game than the POF
I do think it devalues of competition, id much rather be going to Anfield for the semi than Wembley.
Season ticket holders would still get a ticket wherever it was.
Shaky head emoji where are you?
There was one bloke who kept walking up and down our row asking if anyone had seen his fucking wife, like we knew what she looked like anyway
Hard to think of a major stadium that’s easier to get to via public transport than Wembley. Have never had trouble getting out either (although supposedly it’s worse for gigs).Personally I hate Wembley. Stadium is okay, but where it is situated and getting on and off the site is a nightmare.
Row row row your boatWe could only use chants that work in a round. Has anyone got anything good to the tune of “Row row row your boat” or “Three blind mice”?
With plaster's on?Row row row your boat
Everytime we score
Our back hurts, our arms are sore
And our hands are raw.

There aren’t many places in the country where it’s quicker to get to Cardiff than it is to get to London. As far as Cov is concerned it isn’t even close.Millennium Stadium.
Will they allow us to bring in trombones and trumpets for the instrumental in the middle?Why don't we resurrect Sky Blue Land?
Had a similar experience last May. One bloke going up and down constantly and getting aggy with a steward who (well done to him) kept really cool and stopped it escalating. Some people ended up watching all that more than the match. More people there were too drunk it seemed to me. The JPT or the L1 PO final had the best atmosphere, or maybe both were good. I remember one rendition of In our Coventry homes that gave me goosebumps. Maybe there was so much at stake last May, nerves kept people quiet, and the lack of real noise from the Luton end didn't get the we can do better than that competition going.Around us last May all the obvious and pissed part timers could shriek was Sky Blue Army , not a great atmosphere.

Have you ever been by coach? The road system and infrastructure around it is incompatible.Hard to think of a major stadium that’s easier to get to via public transport than Wembley. Have never had trouble getting out either (although supposedly it’s worse for gigs).
You’re frankly insane to attempt it by coach and I’ve no idea why anyone would try.Have you ever been by coach? The road system and infrastructure around it is incompatible.
could be looking at 16:30 or 16:45 for the kick off in the semiThe Play Off final was too late, most were too pissed. 5pm kick wasn't it. The bloke next to me wouldn't stop ranting to himself.

season-ticket holders would get a ticket as I am not going to play it at Bournemouth are they. Anfield is a superb stadium and a superb city to play football at. The atmosphere there at times is probably the best in the country."Season tickets holders would still get a ticket wherever it was" - would depend on the teams playing. Fans need to remove their myopic self interest spectacles at times and look at the bigger footballing landscape.
Personally I hate Wembley. Stadium is okay, but where it is situated and getting on and off the site is a nightmare.
But wherever it is held, Singers Corner or mates you normally go with would be dispersed around the ground just like at Wembley.
Not sure why you think Anfield is so special? I have been there on numerous occasions following Coventry and found the atmosphere quit flat.
17.15 on SaturdayIt will be after 5pm. Can’t be before that due to blackout, so likely to be 17:30 ish.
Did you not see the trains last time? I’ve done coaches the last three times 87 did the train, not ours, but one broke down on the way. 2nd time drove to a friends house in London and got the tube. But couldn’t have a pint.You’re frankly insane to attempt it by coach and I’ve no idea why anyone would try.
