Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

| Quote RichieFC86="RichieFC86"I believe it to be near on impossible to create a pre game atmosphere at the KC, mainly down to the fact of the loud music blaring out accross the poor PA System. Last Fridays sing along to Old Faithful didn't go down well, and I put this down to the fact that the version that is played isn't the way that our anthem is sung by the fans and therefore non to easy to follow, especially on mass.
I sent the following through to Tell us:
" As a fan of many many years I am writing to ask that the club please let us supporters create our own atmosphere before home games. Turn of the music playing from the horrid PA System, turn off the new announcers (you know, the one that hardly even knows our players names?) microphone. Don’t play the ‘new’ version of old faithful (It’s nothing like we, the fans, sing it. You will never get everybody singing along to this). Just please, prior to kick off, let there be silence and let the fans get behind the team as they wish. I believe it is just not possible to create an atmosphere with the amount of background noise being created by yourselfs. The fans cannot hear what is been chanted from one block to another and therefore you’ll never get an atmosphere going.
So please at the next home game give it a go eh? What have you to lose, another wonderful atmosphere like last Friday?"
Now, following futher e-mails (as it was initally only picked up and replied to regarding my slight dig at Mr McKay) I have had a response from Jon Flatman stating that they would give this a try.
I'm in the hope that my request is what other fans are thinking should happen, but if this is not the case just blame me. It's not the clubs or Agars fault this time
Hopefully we can build some atmosphere (on the back of a decent result this weekend) but I am well aware that the times we are in at the minute, just turning the music off pre-game is not guaranteed to get the fans chanting/singing, but fingers crossed I don't look too much of a pillock with my request.'"
Completely agree with you (perhaps I'm a pillock also  )
Can't stand that repetitive piece of 'music' played just before the teams come out. Is it supposed to highten our anticipation or increase our levels of excitement or something? | | |

why not record the old faithful fans singing 'old faithful' one game, and as the players are coming out, play it over the PA, then, hearing his, the fans will start to sing along...in theory

A willing and enthusiastic performance dictates atmosphere and since we very rarely get that then poor atmosphere it is. Im sure the fans who travelled to wigan will confirm that the atmosphere there was very very good. The fans were 100 per cent behind the team, singing, encouraging etc etc and gave the players a deserved standing ovation regardless of the defeat simply because it was evident they were actually trying their best. I think that in itself shows, that none of us are being unreasonable in our gripes, we just simply want to see some effort AND OF COURSE A COACH WHO IS FULLY EQUIPPED AND READY FOR HIS JOB! - me thinks that rules agar out at the first recruitment selection process - or more importantly should have done! I hope that behind the scenes the board are merely stalling us whilst they do indeed appoint another head coach whilst keeping their little non prodigy young coach agar appeased with another position within the club.
