Hi guys, I went to an field for the first time in a few years on Sunday. Living down south now with two small kids has clipped my wings.

The crowd were so quiet the Palace fans dominated and I feel Klopp has a point when he says he felt alone.

We need to vocally back our team. Chanting should not be for away games (I was at the game at Chavski and we were great) .

What are your thoughts?

Waro and ed002 summed it up pretty well further down the page.
Maybe some kind of system can be put into place to shuffle season ticket holders around so the can sit next to people they know so they can make a bit of noise.
For example:
john sits on row A. Next to a stranger called Dave.
Johns mate peter sits on row Z. Again next to strangers.
Peter asks dave if he can swap seats permenantly.
Dave says yes.
John and peter are now sat next to each other for games and sing and shout and anfield is a little bit louder.
I can imagine it will be a nightmare to sort out for the club but if they put as much effort into the regular fans as they do the corporate fans then you can have the best of both worlds.

{Ed002's Note - Maybe the could do it with a loud hailer during half time at the next home game? Get Klipperty out there reorganising the fans.}

Or we can get given little flags to wave like ed2 has.

Haha it's a good idea ed002 but won't the club just make the fans register the loud hailers like the flags? Lol.

{Ed002's Note - I am not so sure I have understood any of you posts today Mickey.}

as the away fans sing, this is a library and wheres your famous atmosphere, our fans sit there laughing but i don't find it funny 1 bit, i often sing these chants with them because its true. i sit in the main stand right by the away fans, our fans and this is no joke sit there talking about the fookin x factor and articles they've read in the guardian, WTF, i think there's about 12 supporters in and around me that actually sing and shout all game. anfield is dead, FACT.

Fact.

We need the kids back. We're neglecting a generation of supporter all in the sake of the global game.

I don't care what anyone says about my opinion, but our club was built on a passionate working class mentality. Yes, the game is changing and it is becoming more global, but as a consequence, this is killing the game.

There are too many cling-ons with no understanding of the ethos and principles of supporting the club. Many claim to understand, and many claim to grasp and understand what it means to be a supporter.

Really?

Is smiling when losing, taking constant photos, browsing the web and leaving early with a spring still in the step a true reality of a red?

No chance!

Oh, yeah, this half-hearted clap when a player kicks the ball needs to stop too.

If they want to spend their hard earned, then fine, I'm sure we all appreciate it, but you're making our club look like a shower of taburds.

Thank God we have the best away support in the land.

{Ed007's Note - (clap)

Ed002's you keep referring to klopp as klipperty I think the green eyed monster is poking his head over the parapet!

{Ed002's Note - It is his preferred nick name. It is what his parents and his sister (that's another story) call him. You want me to call her something else?}

Are fans not aloud to take drums into the stadium?
In rugby league there are guys who go to the game with a bass drum and lead the songs, once he starts going everyone joins in.
