Red Exile Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 19 minutes ago, Andy082005 said: Always liked the bounce myself. It's ours. We started that specific song and it's great it's come back. All you hear these days are fans singing the same songs as everyone else. What happened to creativity? To be honest Andy, and on the basis of a few decades experience, I'd say that creativity is overrated in a football chant. What matters is getting everyone going. Very rare to find something which can get a whole away end singing and dancing together. It's great that we have a reasonably unique song that can achieve that, and all the more remarkable that it was being sung with such gusto yesterday given the strongly expressed view on here - only a few weeks back - that it was "stale, dull or worse", a song that "never caught on with the majority of fans" and an "embarrassment".

Had "parental duties" to fulfil. Looks like we missed a good one. Watching the videos makes up for it. In part. Watching RO"D is better than watching the goal itself. More of that from more of them and we'll be safe. Keep those as a nucleus and acquire more like that over the summer and next season will be very different. Just a shame that wasn't the approach last summer after a very successful season....... Oh well. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt the criticism of the chant was really harsh. Everyone knows the words, it looks/sounds great and gets everyone going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerk Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Amazing day all round. Always something special about away days in London. We were stood in the isle for the entire match. There was literally nowhere else to go. You can see that from Conor West's twitter video. When Tomlin scored, a few of us went flying and hit the deck. One guy looked like he was in alot of pain. Don't know if Fulham FC over-sold our enclosure. Or maybe they put the netting in the wrong place? Even so.......best away game i've ever been to!

My first time visiting Fulham and area surrounding the ground with the park and the Thames was really something... much different to the 'hole' which is Loftus Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Strange ground I thought it looked quite small then I seen the attendance and it was over 20000 . And quite a lot of empty seats. Anyone know the capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked their ground though, old school. This young lady has caused me problems this weekend.....the amount of times Mrs Woodsy has said to me and my girls 'stop watching that bloody goal', Emzy - I'm ashamed to say I've blamed you for it But it is one of my most favouritest videos of all time, in the history of the world, ever.
