Support is all about singing what's the point in goin if you sit there in silence supporters like that are no good to the team and go unnoticed

To be fair, I didn't actually think it was bad. Could have been a lot worse, lulled because of the nerves surrounding the game more than anything.

Because some people like to go and watch football. I personally like to go and watch the game and take it all in, some people like to go and just sing and have banter with the away fans.
I remember one fella before B15 was cool who would stand with his back to game trying to start songs off, thinking he was like a choir conductor.
I can see both sides really. When I was 16 it was all about singing, and the banter between fans, was far more interested in who won that than the game. Then got a bit older and enjoyed the away day piss up, now I m so knackered by the end of a working week a match for me is about chilling out and watching the game

If the side perform the support will be awesome. There was only a few hundred out of the 1000 singing at reading, that was nothing special. Yesterday they didn't perform, it was total anti climax for me.

The performance drove the support after just ten or so minutes you could see we (and Forest) didn't seem up for it, a bit like Charlton 3 years ago. You could sense defeat.

Proper supporter is about someone who pays their hard-earned cash to go and support their team home and away. I personally love away games because you get to see the lads go for a rake load of beer and have a great day. The football is important but if we have had a great day then that's what's important!
If you want to sing or not that's your personal choice and as fans we should not be arguing between each other!

" we'll fight til the game is won" sorry not this shower of sh#t...and it isn't the fans fault either, whether they sing or not..what exactly have we had to sing about..a slight glimmer of hope this week.with the portsmouth saga..but they failed yet again...totally gutless!!.. and thorn couldn't even motivate himself..

This makes me laugh. We must have the only fans in the country who moan when we get a good turnout

there is no such thing as a better supporter or more hard core supporter - there are only supporters. All this self appreciation and ridicule of others because they are different is complete rubbish.
Supporters make choices that are affected by other things in their life that dictate how why and when they can will and do show that support. To criticise anyone for saying they are CCFC fans but do not sing or dont make away matches or not enough games is pathetic. We are CCFC fans, and we support our club however we choose to and do not need to justify that to anyone.... end of!
Might find a team that actually performs and stirs the fans might help..... they get paid to be there - we pay for the privilege

One of the problems with a large away following is everyone is spread out and little groups sing different songs at the same time,also yesterday i think we went there thinking it'll be like the Leeds game,what I don't get with thorn is when something doesn't work he won't change it,wether stubborness or inexperience it can cost us points,its in our hands
to stay up we have to play the teams around us,but if we play without passion and determination we may as well end the season now,I'm just wondering if we get relegated will the end of season awards dinner go ahead

Some people like to go and sing their hearts out to support their team and some like to sit there in silence, constantly moan and not bother with backing the players. Fair enough it's your choice but yesterday was bad due to the daytrippers, and before anyone starts moaning about a "special club" of away supporters, you're more than welcome to join but I'd prefer it if you could come to a few more away games instead of just the one or two "big" games that you can suddenly find yourself bothered enough to go to.

Official Away Supporters Test
1. How many away games have you attended in the past 2 seasons - must be over 20 to pass
2. How many "special" songs do you know all the words to? - must be at least 5 to pass
3. What volume can you reach during intense song recitation? - must be at least 115dB to pass
4. How many pints do you down on average before a game? - must be at least 5
5. How many hilarious hand gestures do you know? - must be at least 3
These tests must be passed before the ticket office will issue a ticket to an away game - these criteria are also being circulated to all Championship clubs (and pre-emptively to 1st Division) to ensure no imposter "away" fans sneak in and spoil things for real fans

well... sorry for causing such a dispute guys! :') i was'nt trying to get to the 'hardcore' suppourter thing, nor was i asking people about how abusive we could be. i was simply asking why our crowd did'nt perform the way we could, through simple chants and songs that could've spurred the team on. i really don't see the point in going to an away game if your not going to make an effort to back the players through noise. this is just mu opinion.

I been on average to about 5 away games a season since I was 5 years old. I'm now 21. I personally do not sing, therefore, I am 'coming out' as a shit fan.. feel free to ban me from the forum and rip up my tickets. Cheers...

Apparently the concept of singing at football matches to support your team is a new and strange idea to some people. Turns out we're weird, I'd better ditch the Blue WKD's and get myself a hip flask.

You're right it probably would be, but the suggestions made earlier on that someone who doesn't sing isn't a true supporter is ridiculous and pathetic. Just because someone doesn't sing it doesn't mean they don't care.

No, I am not having a go like that. I respect that people sing and get behind the team like that. What I was having a dig at was people saying that the people who don't sing may as well not bother going etc.
