I play football with my five year old in the back garden. Basically, he's a German, so if he says the game is Germany (him) v England (me) then it's no mercy. England win. The kid has to learn. Bet he dives in the box. He does dive when I've never even touched him, and he then complains to She Who Casts No Shadow that I should be given a Red Card ! Typical Boxhead !

The team on the pitch aside, a decent atmosphere, pre-match build up/entertainment makes people want to be a part of it and come back the following week. If it affects attendances then yes it is an issue that we get it right. But I guess the only way we'll see the whole Mem singing again is if we do a Northampton and run away with the league with no pressure. Yea, first couple of years in L2 the football was dire but we kept the atmosphere. Understandably, it petered out eventually which prompted me and others I know to stop going so regularly. It basically became a sh** experience and a waste of my valuable Saturday afternoon. Anyone who has plays sport at any level performs better with confidence. Moans, groans and abuse will make players nervous and scared of making mistakes which is bound to have an impact on performance. Encouragement and a positive partisan atmosphere can lift a team, remove the fear factor and improve performance. It's not so much that we need to sing for 90 minutes it's more to do with attitudes being contagious. No nerves, no groans and total support from the crowd tomorrow is what DC is calling for. I thought the atmosphere towrds the end of Buckle's spell on our first season in Div 2 was the worse I could ever recall supporting Rovers? To suggest a good atmosphere generates bigger attendences is utter nonsense as we've had 10,000 for the last few games because we're playing decent footballl/winning games/could go up not because the songs are being sung louder! The atmospehere is always going to be better if you are supporting a winning team. Clearly getting on players backs isn't going to help them but I can't see whether we sing one chorus of "Irene" or three is going to be the difference between us winning or not tomorrow.

I think I'd better sew some leather patches onto the elbows of my tweed jacket when I get home, as I'm beginning to feel like a History teacher !
