This is done at some NFL grounds where they get the different stands to compete for the loudest cheer. It seemed cheesy at the Saints game I was at in New Orleans and not really our game atmosphere in England, let alone very Brentford.
Half the crowd sing “Hey Jude” instead of “Brentford”
hahahaha, good point well madeWas Rebus once MarkAFC because he also used to follow arsenal?
Sadly VFTB we are, people like you and me are no longer valid in the 'bigger picture'. We will soon have clappers, drumming music when we get a corner, and Harry Potter on the megaphone down the front leading the singing to the words on the big screen to the influx of tourists spending £100 a game. Attending football matches as we knew is gone. Don't forget to scan the QR code and play along at half time and make sure you leave behind your flag after you have poked somebody in the eye. 'Happy days are here again . . .'. Anyone for a slice of Victoria Sponge?I don’t think you really get “Brentford”….we aren’t like that….EVER
9.52 from Reading to Bournemouth.you're a miserable old git these days .
You need awayday with the boys
night game ?9.52 from Reading to Bournemouth.
I'll be carrying my flag and cheesboard.
Proper sh*t isn't it. We're the away team, similar amount of fans, and 1-0 up a minute in. If it's football in a library, it's our fault!
Yeah, would much rather hear our own songs than us do this one
".....we sing on our own...." is a bit cringe too . It sounds like we are encouraging the opposition supporters to start singing. As the East stand keep telling us the Farkew are singing but we in the Best stand can't hear them.
It’s quite funny how the less numbers we bring the better our away ends are. Brought a fraction of the numbers to Birmingham and it was far better than last night, same with Grimsby last year.
I remember a couple seasons back when Rico made a mistake at home against Bournemouth from which they scored from, There was a loud chorus of his name being sung by bees fans- someone turned back and asked ‘why the f*** are we chanting his name, he’s the reason we’re behind right now’
The last 2 home games have been way better than atmosphere in the last seasons
Lets not over hype it. West stand alone should be loud as is supposed to be the "noisey" end.
Yes it "should" be but it quite frankly hasn't the last few years.
I feared this would be the result when STHs could buy six tickets each for friends and family. F&F matches at home are usually poorer in the noise dept and it seems it was the same at Reading. I didn’t rush for a Reading ticket for this reason.
Wait a small group can coordonate easier and better than an army? I would never
) is the lack of a coordinator for the singing sections, not talking about the Seattle FC tw*t, more like the European support. At reading everyone was all over the place.
the flags do help too 
...as a non Brit...a good starting point for you would be to refrain from using the word 'guys'.Wait a small group can coordonate easier and better than an army? I would never
This “little war” against the “tourist” which are Brentford fans (not talking about Liverpool away ) has to end, maybe it’s their first away trip as Reading was very convenient or like the guys next to me they could barley stand as they had a combine aged of a few millennia.
Some of the new away fans might get a taste and after a long ass journey to Newcastle or Sunderland they instantly become extroverts
As a non-brit the one thing I don’t get, however I like (make it make sense
However I get starting a song from a couple of guys that develops into the whole section it’s inbuilt into the fabric of British football plus the instant improvisation that you can’t have anywhere else in the world
Oh my I’m sending you my deepest apologies, guy.
Keith Andrews on fan flags...
"It’s genuine, real and isn’t forced in any way. I was delighted when I heard what [the fans] were doing. That engagement and feel is nice to witness when we come out. It sums up where we are as a club that our captain has made that donation"

Noticeably reduced number of them in the right side of W235 meant I had to shoulder the burden of an XL Middlesex flag that would have made Russell Grant proud
