How are we going to make the match day experience hostile ( within the law!) for away teams following VK speech and The Beast calling us to arms?

My tartan blanket on the front row of the BL Stand could be changed for a skull and crossbones blanket?

Will we run out to:

Strange Town
Town called Malice
Double Dutch ( for our older viewers!)

Awaiting instructions!

Loyal Bob Lorder

For night matches turn the flood lights off and come out to the Undertakers music.

I’d say get the light show going, ramp up the volume, and hit ‘em with Metallica “For Whom The Bell Tolls”

Having seen/heard Metallica twice last week that could help!!!

They would be snoring by the first clang.

Given that I’ve seen Burnley fans moan when there’s a firework set off outside the stadium and suggest they’d be unhappy to be under a giant banner/tifo type thing ahead of kick off, there’s a slim to none chance of anything other than No Nay Never being sung.

The club tried a number of different things last season which seemed to go down well

Turn the PA down and let the fans create an atmosphere. with a drum, of course.

Light show is good but needs to be at kick off not 10 mins before. Combined with some better music too. The dj session with Jordan North and fire etc was decent tbf although seemed to be a one off. Would like to see something involving more flags / scarves ahead of ko. Looked great at Forest and Newcastle this season in the Prem.

Or this one "Thunderstruck"

I agree although I doubt many supporters would be unhappy with it if they did.

Please correct me if I'm wrong as it's quite hard to judge atmosphere's accurately on the TV - the last time the Turf was bouncing in the PL was when we played Cardiff and it was the day the club gave out the free scarves - it makes a HUGE difference and I hope someone points that out to those that make the decisions. The biggest and easiest thing we could do to create a better atmosphere would be to slow the songs down, it's basic but will make the world of difference.

Rocky masks.

Should walk out very slowly to “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin and eyeball every single opposition player

Saw a young Electronic violinist do this on a Rhine Cruise ... hairs stood up on the back of my neck

Why look any further than ‘Welcome to Hell’ by Venom?

https://youtu.be/4e0VvHZMaTs

Disgusting production, terrible playing… but a stone cold metal classic all the same. I’m seeing flames on the Turf LED screens when Cronos sings ‘burning lives burning’.

There’s so much we could do to make TM a more intimidating.

I always think that the atmosphere at TM is very good anyway but more could be done. Would require a concerted efforts from the club and so far I don’t see anything that suggests they will do that tbh.

The Burnley version of the All Blacks 'Haka' would be amazing. We could turn it into a gurning contest but with so many foreigners in the team these days, I think we might scare our own players.

It’d definitely be hell if we came out to some rock / heavy metal! I’d have to time my stadium entry for 14:59 to avoid the bloody racket!

Hopefully the new premium membership holders will bring something to the party. Would be great if we could house our most loyal fans in the same concentrated area of the ground to ramp the atmosphere up.

Not sure our most loyal fans are necessarily the most vocal. I've been watching Burnley for 71 years but I'm all for a relatively quiet life these days.

What's that Rileybobs ? ....our most loyal fans ? We are sat everywhere...I've been a loyal fan for 57 years been sat in JML for 7 years now not a great atmosphere but a great view of game

Turn the music off with 5 minutes to go and let the fans get behind the team.

Just f***ing sing till you can't sing anymore.

And we don’t want to start giving out those Leicester City type inflatable clackers, they make a din but are naff.

for sure, big difference between a scarf and one of them though !

Kashmir is a great shout but we could put the creeps up them with Rammstein's Links 2 3 4 including the crazy video on the big screen

All good suggestions however go for abit of Motorhead and this little ditty off the album Bastards

Do you mean by Oliver Reed the Boozy Actor who died whilst filming Gladiator or "Wild Thing" by Reg Presley and the Troggs original song

I haven't posted on here for a long time (more of a lurker these days), but I think that the atmosphere we created during the parade could be used as a template for making a more imposing atmosphere on match days.

Flags and banners all across the Culvert, flares/smoke bombs/chants/singing as the team coaches arrive, and ramping up the "one team" ethic across the home fanbase and encouraging people to be in and around the stretch from the Culvert to the ground much earlier. There would also need to be some coordination between the club and the pubs under the Culvert to create the "Wecome To Hell" aesthetic.

Turn the music off full stop.

Possibly time to bring Chico and the dancing dogs out of retirement?

Apocalypse Now, Ride of the Valkyries would create a daunting atmosphere.

https://youtu.be/nZ_zNUmr8fM

I think what would be really novel and cool is if the club got someone to parachute in with the match ball.

Some decent ideas here and I am all for improving the atmosphere, but don’t think for one minute that any of that will put Harland, Kane , Salah, etc off their stride!

The best way of scaring the opposition is to invite them on here for a bit of debate.....!

More like welcome to Disneyland with some of the suggestions on here . No player has EVER been intimated at a UK ground by flashing lights and assorted corporate merrymaking . “ Intimidating “ atmospheres ( if they even remotely exist ) can only be created during the game , by the fans serious passion and noise .

TBH, I find it a bit depressing that we would want to focus on being “hostile” and “intimidating” to opposition teams, and by inference, their fans.
Why can’t we just concentrate on positive support for our own team!
Sadly, it’s a small step from manufactured aggression to some dimwit feeling the need to attack physically the other team or their fans.
Love and Peace.

Could someone in the Bob Lord bring a drum? The Great Drum of Knotty Ash hasn’t been played for a bit

Simple; the fans have to be noisy, and be horrible to opposing players. You scream at them when they come near to you. You make them not want to go towards the fans to collect a ball for a throw in or a corner. Anything which causes them to lose focus for a minute or two. Be a right set of horrible b*****ds.

Will it work? If it helps us gets 4-5 points extra it could be the difference. Remember the other year singing “you let your country down” to Sterling? The fans were on at him constantly. He didn’t actually let anybody down, but it got in his head, he could barely play, and he ended up being subbed.

Think I would rather just watch the game to be honest, rather than act like a p****d up or c***d up yob.
That’s just me I guess.

Can't see VK getting the support he wants.

Complete silence and everybody with ice hockey masks on.....including the away end
