Okay, it's 3 weeks away but that'll soon pass and it'll be time for it all to kick off again. I figured we'd better have a thread where we can start the build up to the season opener for the North Stand Loyal. We're on the case sorting out the flags, tee shirts, stickers etc, but to make the home end rock we need everybody to be getting involved come match day. The plan is to get to the ground well before kick off and get the atmosphere building. Make sure you've got the lyrics nailed down for Smile a While, make sure you've got you're voices tuned to perfection, and if you're old enough, make sure you're suitably lubricated.  If you've got any suggestions about what you want to sing, and what you want to see at the first game, post them here.  |

Absolutely.
There's a team that is dearer to its followers
Their colours are bright blue and white
They're a team of renown
They're the pride of the town and the game of football is their delight....
All the while upon the field of play
Thousands gladly cheer them on their way
Often you can hear them say
Who can beat the Town today?
Then the bells will ring so merrily
Every goal will be a memory
So Town play up and bring the cup
Back to Huddersfield

Due to circumstance not managed to get to many games the last couple of years, that is however gonna change this season, in the North Stand, starting with Bournemouth at Home.
Re first home match, a couple of thoughts:
1) First day of the season a few years ago at Notts County the team came out to a crescendo of 'who to be a' now whilst the song is not the most imaginative, it would sound class if we the North Stand was booming out the same song sung from the same hymn sheet.
2) At the 5min mark, a minute's applause to mark DH's 5 year tenure at the helm. A nice gesture maybe...
3) Falling in love with you, think it would sound class sung at a slower pace, i.e in the sync with the rhythm of the original song. Kind of an expansion of the spurs go marching on theme.
Not much but a couple of ideas...

I'm not bothered what we sing, as long as we are singing for the full 90 minutes.
Bring it on!

Okay.
6 days to go.
Time to start making you all aware of what is going on.
As already mentioned Smile a While at kick off.
We will also be surfing the two biggest flags across the crowd, this has to be done prior to kick off so make sure you are in position in the stand.
We will have balloons and ticker tape which we will be distributing inside the ground, and as you may have seen we are arranging for blue and white streamers to be thrown down from the upper tier.
The rest, as they say, is up to you.
Bring your scarves, wear your blue and white, and be prepared to sing and enjoy yourselves for a couple of hours.
We've hopefully got Mathew Burton joining us in the NSL for this game(the guy off Educating Yorkshire), apparently he's going to lead a "Give us an H!", so heres your chance to get to sing along with a tv star.
Once our victory is confirmed against Bournemouth, you might get lucky and somebody might lead you all in a round of Yellow Bird - hopefully we'll be singing this repeatedly this season, it's an absolute belter.
Most of us boys are meeting in Canalside, I think Rambo might give us a mention as well.
Bring it on.

Never mind all the negativity about how we are going to do this season, we in the stands are to make sure the lads on the field know they have our support. If we can get positive vibes from us to the players it could make a difference.
Get your voices ready!

Anyone have any hand flags to wave? If not are the ones in the club shop okay with the regulations? We've got some flags on order but we wont have them for this weekend. Flags and Banners policy states flags are to be no bigger than 600mm x 1000mm. You should be Ok to take any flag in under those dimensions without prior approval. Flag poles are no more than 7mm in diameter, plastic, and rounded at both ends. Not easy to find on the internet to be fair, but I've submitted a sample for approval from the club, should hear back tomorrow if its Ok. If it is, I will order a load to go with the blue and white flags, |
