Create atmosphere..... A few cheap bog rolls chucked onto the pitch, saturdays sun ripped into loads of small pieces and a few blue and white balloons.... add a decent flag to be passed around the crowd, cheaper beer prices in the FML stand - only, and a new wall where you can have a piss in the open air and the club will have cracked it.

We need to have a summer of planning for the FM lower, combined with some progression via ATT on the overstrict flags and banners policy. Our aim should be to make a massive statement on the opening home game of the season. Lets make this work. 100%... Went on the palace board and they had the same problems, they just said keep trying and if you want it enough you will succeed! Selhurst Park used to be like a morgue not that long ago. So they must have done something.

And I think the flag that palace gets taken in as smaller plastic sticks and they use joiners to get around the rule

Has anyone ever approached the Palace lot to ask them for advice? Seems sensible to learn from them no?

Regarding the name, might I suggest that you guys seriously consider if you want anything "cowshed" related?
1 - In reality it's not the classiest of names, and you're not exactly making it difficult for other fans/people to take the piss.
2 - it may kind of alienate a number of fans (mainly the younger ones) who never went or don't know what the cowshed was. Calling it something like "the cowshed loyal" makes it seem a bit like a club for those who were there rather than a club for all hardcore fans.
Branding is important and needs a bit of thought. Obviously if that's the kind of thing you're wanting then fair enough go ahead with it, just thought I'd give a different perspective before decisions are made.

Not that young - I'm old enough to have both a beard and a son, but as my parents are southerners without local loyalties, I didn't start going until I was 16 in 2003. I know it has resonance with folk who went to Leeds Road but I always just think of something unpleasantly agricultural. People who were 10 when we moved stadia are now 29 - it's potentially putting off a huge number (a majority?) of our current boisterous singers in the Kilner who are most likely to be enthusiastic about the idea.

This is just a thought, not really a suggestion per se.
Why not unofficially call it the Fantastic Kop? Andrew Hobson, might even approve, and help out with some media stuff, and promotion. Or he might not want owt to do with it?

Just my humble opinion, but I don't think too much emphasis should be put on a name right now, I think a name is something that should just come about naturally, if it gets over-thought it can end up just being something silly, not saying it shouldn't be discussed though. Have to agree with Bearded about not having 'Cowshed' in the name, also think that anything 'Ultras' just sounds hooligan-ish, like I said though, all just my opinion.

Understand but disagree. As with anything, we need a 'brand' to be able to market ourselves. People need to know what they are joining. Daft but true, it's my profession, I know these things.

And I forgot to actually clarify that I was suggesting we need a name sooner rather than later, whatever it may be!
