AFC Cavalry to the rescue! :lol:

The whole 'AFC -y' thing is quite good I think. The rhyme is relatively subtle but adds a memorability to it. I like the 'Royal' and 'Regiment' too though personally. IMO it evokes a sort of pride and glamour rather than an overtly military image.

A while ago, someone posted a YouTube clip of a South American club's fans singing outside their stadium. Really catchy tune, but that's the sort of thing that a campaign like this could throw up, a song which is unique to AFC.

If anyone can remember and dig it out we could consider it and is the sort of thing Flash and his megaphone could start up at anytime during a game. :barscarf:

Why not try to get together when we have a family and friends game i believe we can get 4 tickets per membership so decide what blocks to apply for,have a pre match meet up at the twelve pins or any of the local pubs get in the ground and really shock the club and jcls by creating the best atmosphere the emirates has ever had count me in.

I have a season ticket in upper block 129 row2, I give this to my Dad who goes every game and doesn't want to get involved in the loonie bin support (when it happens/aways the norm), so I use my silver for games I can make (2&4 year olds restrict).
I normally go lower 4/5/6 and have stood/sat next to numerous mutes (they sit) who should be vacated to make room for like minded people to make as much noise as possible. These mutes are season ticket holders so why are they in that section?? They are the cause of the break up in continuous, loud singing which would I believe get the rest of the stadium rocking.
I can say I didn't realise Redaction existed, if they have a responsibility for singing then they should ALL do that, non stop.
The away fans should be where they are in 2/3 blocks upper/lower parallel giving moor lower CE room for home fans.
CE needs a NB equivelant of blocks 5/6 with a 'so called' Redaction.
Blocks 5/6 should be sold to silver members only. Lower tier should be members only .All general sale should be saved for upper tiers
Cards on seats in blocks 5/6 NB/CE (equivalent) advising people the area they are in a singing area and HAVE to sing, good idea earlier PP promotion cards.
More later....pub !!

As RoyWalker used to say on Catchphrase...it's good but it's not right!! I'm sure they were outside the ground waiting to go in. Maybe if I get 5 hours spare I'll go digging through old threads!
