Maybe it's because I'm on my phone but I can't understand what they're chanting!
I went to see Besiktas in Istanbul and they do something similar, their kop start a chant and designate one of the other stands to complete it, worked really well, they have quite a few fans dotted about the stand coordinating everything - we are a lot more organic at rovers.

The question should be aimed at us not Nick Day!
Wherever you are in the ground,if someone starts a song, join in (apart from that IRA song which is ****)!!! This isn't a time for going out with a whimper!!!
Bring your best voices to The Mem!!! UTG!!!

Next you'll be wanting flags on seats, and bland franchise branded scarfs to wave around!!

Cant say I agree with this fellas in my time watching the Gas I have never seen three sides singing the same song, so it aint gonna just happen unless someone or something makes it happen. Any other ideas?

Should try out the Celtic chant of Come on you boys in blue (echoed by another group) Come on you boys in blue, Bristols blue and white

The terrace in front of the main stand would join in with the open end and Popular Side in a rendition of Gerry Francis Blue & White Army!!! Happy Days!!!

The noise at times generated by ALL sides of the ground at Twerton was immense. It's up to the fans to generate this at the Mem, and no amount of flag waving, dancing around by Nick Day (!!!) will help.

It starts by one section of support singing, another repeating the chant to several verses before finishing off to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy.

After watching on TV that amazing spectacle of Liverpool fans singing their anthem, do you think Nick can get all three sides singing Irene with scarves aloft just before the kick off? This could be so inspirational for the team to know we are all together as one and may make just enough difference to clinch it? Words on the scoreboard?
Great idea and right behind that...

I've posted this before. But with the ground packed you should be able to get this going like these lady gardens. Much as I dislike the team I've got to hand it to them. Their support is excellent. This could work brilliantly with Irene. It will need to be led out by the Blackthorn end (always that to me!) Blackthorn sing chorus and first verse pointing at west stand / terrace. West stand then sing chorus. Blackthorn then sing verse two and point to Dri-build. Dri-build then sing chorus. Blackthorn then sing verse threr pointing to south stand. South stand then cause it to go strangely quiet... I'd love to see this.

MR BLUE SKY blasting out along with other songs with BLUE in em would be good we had that when we beat City at the MEM 2-0 I can't remember the year but the atmosphere was great the whole place was bouncing and Beadle missed a sitter for the sh** unfortunately it was the season we lost at Cardiff and missed out on the play offs!!

The problem is each week we have to listen to Nick Days record collection which consist of in the main, songs to slash our wrists to. Also the run out music and the build up music is made up of hits from the 60's again probably om his collection. I'm old enough to remember when they were new. As a club we spend too much time in the past, you only have to hear comments from the terraces to realise that. I don't want to be stuck in the past any more, I want to be up to dat and I want songs that will get the crowd going. FFS lets get rid of that 40 ear old crap and put something NEW on
