i have supported united for years and years and everytime at home i can bearly hear fans sing except the odd game or two we need singing from the fans every game,if you watch united away the fans are brilliant you can hear them sing all night or day,the only reason i can come up with for are disapointing home support is that tourists or familys i dont no fans from outside england come over to see the greatest team play and dont get involved in the atmosphere

Would love to go back to the old days when the opposition came out first and we could boo them and then chant “Bring on the champions”!! Aaah, memories!

As the teams are in the tunnel, they would play “This is the one” (Its actually a request of Gary Neville to play that when they come into the tunnel area).
Then, as the teams actually come into sight, the music would go off and the fans then create the noise.
You would then have the Chmpions league/Prem league anthems as the teams line up on the half way line.
That would give enough time to create noise, let the players hear the roar of the crowd.
SEF have received a reply from Alan Keegan, who is the voice on the tannoy and he is in favour of this. He has no control over the music, so will pass on the thoughts to them.
SEF have also contacted Utd, who said they will discuss at the next fans forum.

We have City in the semis, Milan in Europe and both Chelsea and Liverpool in the league which are the bigger home games left to play, it definately needs doing for these games.

One thing also needed, is for fans to get in the ground that bit earlier, especially on the European nights.
SEF have large surfer flags to be used, but given that there are not enough fans in the stadium 10 mins before kick off, SEF cannot put these out, which is a shame.

SEF will continue to promote all European Cup home games as Euro Flag nights,encouraging fans to bring their own flags along and create more noise and colour than they normally do.

How can the fans sing and make an atmosphere when there’s always this loud music playing in the background?
I fucking hate Glazer.

Hmm…some interesting points/views.
Personally, i much prefer the chance to scream/shout than the crappy music drowning the fans out.
The game is becoming ridiculously Americanised. I thank God we haven’t got to the music after a goal is scored yet!
The atmosphere would increase significantly if greater thought was given to the seating arrangements as mentioned by others.
Our beloved Stretford end is being bastardised by the corporate and day tripper “fans”. A large area directly behind the goal is handed over to this prawn sandwich brigade EVERY game.
Virtually NONE of them sing. In fact, they tut-tut you for even mild swearing, let alone some of our traditional chants.
Perhaps those of us that are going to get in touch with the club could also let them know they should re-allocate those corporate seats to fans who want to sing, making the Stretford End our feared 12th man again.

i am torn on this. i get a hard on on champions league evenings when they play that music, but rocky does seem a bit of a shit choice for league games.
Atmospheres at utd are always hit and miss, i think only leeds and city have been buzzing this season. The arsenal game was a bit of a damp squid. But, after xmas things will get rocking as the big games roll in.

if i was in charge of the juke box i’d go for how soon is now. That riff would sound fantastic bouncing from one side of the ground to the other.
