Yeah, cos we've had so much success and trophies over the years....The problem is fans are spoilt.

Neigh surely not. Hoarse maybe? ;-) (Sorry)
Yeah we suck. The pool fans were singing and overpowering us the entire time. And I asked a simple question as to where to go for a pint with some spurs fans and noone answered. Honestly. We suck as fans.
Not by spurs. By life. People expect instant results. It’s the age we live in. Everyone lives in the minute, sharing thoughts on forums, social media. Instant gratification on meaningless little things and absolutely no grasp on the reality that the bigger things in life may take time and fail occasionally. That’s why they sit bored waiting for the goal. Anyone can celebrate a goal. What kind of fan you are is what you do between them.Yeah, cos we've had so much success and trophies over the years....
Stick your drum up your ass. I was at the chav game last season and that was the most embarrassed I’ve been in 37 years of watching spurs.Another heartbreaking loss at Wembley, another lame chorus of fans telling my son ‘get used to it lad, that’s the heartbreak of being a Spurs supporter.’ How do we expect our players to believe when the silence from our fans was deafening yet again today? We have to do better as supporters of the club - we have to be louder than the opposing team, and have to believe (as we should) that not only do we deserve to be in the Top 4, we actually deserve to win. Every. Single. Game. Let’s bring flags and drums and whatever else we need to create a winning environment. Our players and beloved club have earned it.

No loudhailers.
Don’t even mention clackers.
We are spurs. We sing.
behind the goal in the paxton was my placewhen we used to have a drummer at the Lane when I used to go as a ST holder in the early noughties, the only only stand never getting involved was the West stand, it used to be Park Lane, Paxton and the shelf. they banned the drum, made the Paxton a family stand, and the atmosphere dropped.
the way they have set up the acoustics, and where they have positioned the away supporters hopefully that will get the North and East going, have a drummer lifts the noise, and more will get involved other than the west stand
When was that? It must have been before it became the family/members end.behind the goal in the paxton was my place
Remember singing well before kick off and throughout the game. Used to sing for a song from shelf side or park lane.
If I remember right it was the seating that did it for atmosphere.....

Monaco vs Marseille at stade Louis there are only about 200 Monaco fans and they sang the full 90 minutes, with the occasional charge at the Marseille fans who’d all bought home tickets...
They had a drummer and a lunatic with a microphone orchestrating it... it was intense - flag waving ultras singing their hearts out all game - hard not to join in...
I’d say it’s not a problem with the fans not singing, people get swept up in the atmosphere and it happens naturally...
IMO, the problem lies with the fans who seem to turn up hoping for a bit of peace-and-quiet...
We should all agree to elbow anyone in the head who frowns at people singing - I’m still scarred from that west stand experience, utter disgust on faces when you got above a whisper!
The ultra style constant monotonous drone isn't something I like but still better than nothing. I don't see much wrong in how it was in the cl at whl, time before last. Spontaneous chants rather all that orchestrated stuff.
if your talking about the Bale, Modric and VdV time, we had players that lifted the crowd the minute they got the ball with any space, plus once upon a time (before you was born) when it was a European night the whole stadium would rock, those days the West lower was known as "the Enclosure" and even they got invloved
I love this - let’s do it!!I'm a season ticket holder at Boca Juniors, so every time I went back to the Lane I always thought the atmosphere was rubbish - a chant never lasts longer than one verse, long periods of silence whatever is happening on the pitch etc. Same wherever else I've watched football outside Argentina over the last twenty years.
How do you creat an atmosphere? You organise it. Here the barras have drums and trumpets and whatever, but they also have teams of fans leading the singing in each section of the terrace, encouraging the fans around them to sing. And if you're in the segunda bandera and don't sing, you soon hear about it.
Any new songs they come up with, they distribute the lyrics on fliers before the game and then sing it for twenty minutes non-stop so everyone gets the tune. It may all sound naff and orchestrated, but the result is incredible. And needless to say all the best choirs are conducted, so this is what's needed in football stadiums. It's easier to do among away fans and when all stood close together. But sat at home just needs more coordination. If the new stadium is going to have a decent atmosphere it's going to need orchestration. I doubt that will come from the club, so it has to come from the fans. If I was a season ticket holder I'd've been on here before the season ticket allocation to try and get all the wanting to sing SC members to be sitting in the same section of the ground, if a little spread out, so we could organise some sustained and orchestrated singing.
So many people would sing if the people around them are singing, but it's really hard to be the first and run the risk of looking stupid if no-one else joins in. So who's going to take up the baton?
I’m in! Don’t care where I’m sat in new stadium just to be clear - and I would never worry about ‘embarrassing’ myself or my family - let’s make some noise! ? COYSI nominate @riggi and @Dougal for the North stand. Doris the tea lady in the West, the cheese room haters in the East and the 1882 club in the South
oh and @MyNameIsNicolaBerti as a 54 year old when ever I go, I come home horse
We're pretty shite fans let's be honest - only sing when we're winning, and when we are winning we spend 50% of our time singing arrogant shite like the "You're shit" song, being properly full of ourselves. It's no wonder other fans think we're spoilt ****s when we tend to act like it.
