Go on then, which German pocket Battleship did we sink or cripple by sending out 2 man subs to attach mines to her hull? None. You are thinking of the Cockashell Heroes ! Actually, Above us the Waves is correct. Midget subs used to sink the Tirpitz at port. |

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 ! You mean you'll be on all fours again. |

Ah "Music" to my ears, but he did go to "Zaragon" to find "Nice manJack" Anyone else speak Serbo/Croat who can translate this please? John Miles is a very famous british Artist who got famous for a song called "Music" but his best album was called Zaragon and the best track on the album is called "Nice man Jack"... i did convert it to Brizil for you |

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 was thinking of the first relegation, sh** football but still a good crack. Utter nonsense to you perhaps, but I will pay £20 to see rovers playing well and / or experience the buzz of a live game. If the footballs sh** AND the atmospheres crap I can find better things to do. Plenty I know feel the same and no longer attend regularly. At the moment, the football and the vibe aground the ground is improving so people are coming back. And if vocal support makes no difference why do managers and players of clubs throughout the leagues repeatedly ask for it? |

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!!! Exactly, god help us if we're at the stage where we need Nick Day to try an orchestrate an atmosphere!! Next you'll be wanting flags on seats, and bland franchise branded scarfs to wave around!! As long as we don't get those bl***y concertina plastic clappery things like they have at Leicester...... |

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. Surely he's a bit young for that kind of thing? |

I used to dive in the box, but then she said she had gone off it
