That would make it so much better. What a load of bollocks man… it would be horrific without them. That's not what I said though, is it. I'm not saying we shouldn't have them. What I'm saying is that it is bland. Songs need to be more original and saints specific. If we are going to have them, then the songs shouldn't just be a carbon copy of other fans groups. Doesn't have to be just banging a drum all game. They can start up the songs other fans know and grew up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the background noise is welcome, I actually think they make the general atmosphere bland” Perhaps encouraging them to be more involved in this sort of thing would help, perhaps it could’ve been one where a new club song was put out to tender and supporters groups were encouraged to be involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are actually saying the same thing here. What I'm meaning is that we need the FCU to be doing more saints specific and original songs (like the Eses one) and not the same generic ones other clubs do, like 'perthshire/county/livi etc etc boys'. Whether it's Eses or a completely new song, make it unique and original. When it's just a variation on what other teams sing, it's bland. What I do think these fans groups bring that is negative (possibly not FCU mind you as McDiarmid atmosphere can be shit) is that you get less singing by other fans in the way you used to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing more than an attempt at getting the older fans (45+) roused enough to do more at kick off than sitting down gently applauding. 65 year old myself Nothing better to start a game than oh when the Saints None of the other shit will do me Wha the f**k has age to do with it though?

PauloPerth Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 We ran out to the Eses tune for a season around 2014 ish I’m sure of it. Agree a bit with @Theyellowbox. Whilst the noise the young lads generate throughout quieter games is welcome, I think it’s killed the atmosphere amongst the rest of the support a bit. Sometimes it’s just monotone songs with no reflection of what’s happening in the game. We’ll win a corner or attack and it’s the same song droning on whereas sometimes you feel a section or two of the East Stand would have joined in something rousing to get behind the team. Don’t get me wrong, if I was a 14 year old in there with my mates I’m sure it’d be a great crack, and you probably wouldn’t give a toss about other fans joining in, and it’s definitely a much better atmosphere in lower profile matches, but in terms of getting Saints fans to join in at times in bigger games I think the McDiarmid atmosphere is worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 Agree re the song book. Felt that, at times, the FCU have been singing songs the rest of the support don't know and can't join in with. Sure it's not been deliberate by it does feel bit like a droning noise sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) It feels shite because what we're watching on the park is shite. I don't think there's much more to it. Edited August 29 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely should be the full time anthem immediately played after the whistle. Has all the potential to be a genuine St. Johnstone anthem with scarfs held aloft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
