The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Is it just me or this season has it started brightly and then tailed off into general chit chat on the Debanke? We only seem to respond these days when we go a goal down of towards the end of a match.

I'm guessing a lot of the singers that start chants might be staying away (not a criticism, just an observation), but it would be great if from now until the end of the season we were able to bring our singing from the away matches to the home matches just to see if that helps to lift the team on the field, especially when things aren't going well or we have yet to get that first goal in a match.

I always think that a team has to give the fans something to chant about and in the last home game there was nothing for the home fans to get excited about and the first half against Cambridge was just as bad

Just a thought is it the beer wears of after 20 mins and the singers start to act like fools come on lads us older ones need you to keep us going sing your hearts out for the lads

We've never been loud at home to be honest... Many times I've sung along with our supporters and some people around me have given me evils for doing so! :roll:

If we got EVERYONE in the De Banke singing we would be loud, but sadly not everyone wants to or can be bothered too.

yep i agree i use to stand to the right of the de banke and i chanted once or twice and looked like a tit, but the middle are always loud and i chant when i go now becuase i stand in the middle

To be honest we had nothing to sing abou against Gateshead the atmosphere was dire full stop. But we get a great atmosphere going when the team perform. I loved the atmosphere against Cambridge home and away
