Oh when the Saints

[EssEffCee]

Why does our away support seem utterly incapable of singing the quick version of OWTS anymore?

Not even that long ago we'd have spells of games where we'd sing it for 15+ minutes non stop but these days we can barely do it twice in a row.

Swansea was probably the closest we got last season but only about 30-50 people stuck with it for a sustained period.

Our away support really is the absolute pits these days.

Agreed it’s really annoying. By the time it got my phone out to film the singing it’s generally died out, very frustrating

I recall complaints that OWTS was sung so fast by default that it would end up falling apart after half a minute, and if only we could sing it a bit slower we might be able to keep it going a bit longer. Endurance over speed and all that.

For some reason, a large proportion of the crowd start clapping at 300BPM so it inevitably fizzles out.
