Do you sing/chant during a match? like welder? or are you too shy to join in unless everyone else is?

Very rarely am I the chiormaster, I'm generally too close to the 2bc to have any chance at that but always willing to lend a voice....

Absolutely, at the drop of a hat, in the street, in the office, stone cold sober, any time at all(not making love though!).

I'm primarily there to watch rugby, but I have been known to join in with a verse or two. I have also once or twice whispered gentle words of encouragment to our team, at times when I felt it appropriate (but no doubt others did not). Also the odd word of advice to the officials who, being hampered by the unavailabilty of a universal TMO, no doubt find my perspective invaluable.

On away trips I much prefer to save the real 'singing' for the bars, where the only other distraction can be fitted in between verses (provided they are short verses). I would however point out that I am tone deaf, and whilst i can recall the words to most songs while sober, there is an occassional lapse in memory which forces me to hum. (and those who have met me will no doubt concur that I hum a fair bit after a couple of days on tour.)

100% singers and chanters. To open things up I am prepared to state that it will remain 100% if only to get some idiot to vote otherwise just to spite me.

Mind you you would need to be a big lassie chemise not to at least Stan'. So a dilemma then, take teh chance to spite me and risk exposing yourself as a blouson.

Tricky choice.

I'm the 1%er

No issues with anyone singing (in fact I welcome it, and wish Ravers was even more Feral!) apart from:
1. I can't for toffee, and my voice cracks- btw- my balls have dropped since 12...

2. SUFTUM does my head in- we need new songs or chants, as suggested on another thread.
3. I prefer throwing Gladioli at IH in a Morrissey stylee...

Anyone at Milton Keynes last year will remember how 4,000 odd Ulster folk outsang 18,000 Cobblers, (When the Saints is even worse that SUFTUM) who sang like St Winifred's Girl School Choir...

, so I'm all for the raucous atmos.

Purrrlease lets get something more stirring for Turnipstan...

I thought Gerrymandering was illegal? Can I double job? I demand a recount...anyone for a "pact?"

Still need a new song though... with ref. to the "Fields of Ballynafeigh" version of Athenry...thats an old one stretching back many years, we did it in the AIL in Waterford donkeys ears ago.. but imagine the confused faces at Tornip Park (sic)....worth admission alone

It's not the same, not having Friday nights at Ravenhill any more, so I'm doing my best to get back onto the terrace! Although, last few times I've been there I've been told I was a bad luck charm because they kept losing!
