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.

we need coordination, we are never going to be considered Ultra's until we get a bare chested conductor who doesn't watch the game.

With a flag or a drum?😇

a Rainbow flag would be good, we can be the first 'inclusive' Ultras

that reason would be the pervert powder they're shoving up their nose

I'm more annoyed at other teams nicking OUR song (Spurs etc) and away fans at St Marys signing their own version. really fucks me off.

We had Hat Kunt but no one seemed to get behind him. He seemed to disappear of the scene shortly after the riots when Van Dijk left, coincidence?

It would help the singing continue longer if fans knew more than one of the nine verses. Surely, the "When the stars fall from the sky"  and "When the moon turns red with blood" verses wouldn't be too difficult to learn. 

If we sang more of the song than Spurs fans did, it would help reaffirm it as our song. I wonder how long it would be before they copied us.

I expect they tore up his season ticket in protest at the clubs failure to provide the rainbow Saints with a safe space.
