Does anyone have a good way to keep your voice during the game?

Row one in E30 here, but is e30 really a Loyalists section in anything more than name? Is seat one on the side closest to E32 or the other side? In any case, there are only 4 seats in that row I think, and I am going to stand the whole time for both matches.

That may be an option, but I think I would rather keep our Loyalists section as intact as we possibly can for both games.

The problem with that is we don't have seats by the loyalist for the qualifier. We bought the tickets the day they went on sale...and did not think to get tickets by the loyalists section. So if you have room for us..let us know

us being fuegote, Alianza and perhaps trumpetman

That is, of course, the answer. You simply have to remember that you are not doing it alone. There are other voices and the strength is in the numbers, not in one very loud voice. So pace yourself. Make noise, but make reasonable noise. Every bit of sound adds up, so just sing normally. Don't strain the voice, and you'll last for the whole double-header (I can't believe it's almost here).

Im not so happy with my seating section (sec. 36, row 20). Ive gotten more "sit down, shut up" than I ever thought I would at a soccer game. The best I got was against Chivas I yelled lots of Chivas insults, and the kid and mom behind me fought back. That was good times, but aside from that, my section sucks. The seats are nice though. But for Saturday, I think I may just paint a middle finger on my back to be my complaint department.

The best way to combat singing problems i've found is to have a drink at half-time. That way your throat feels less soar in the 2nd half when your team needs you the most.

Also people who don't apprciate singing at football/soccer/whatever games need to learn what the word 'support' means. And it's always fun to laugh at the opposistion, although do many fans go to away games in America?

Not many, the disntances involved are generally too great. Although Chivas has a few fans everywhere, and a large number of FC Dallas supporters came up for the double header with our game following the qualifier against Costa Rica. A fairly large number of Loyalsists will be going to Denver for the last Rocky Mt. Cup game against the CRapids.

That's cool that some Loyalists will going away. Chivas always struck me as a crass marketing play though. Part of the fun of being an Soccer fan in England i feel is going away. In England away fans seem to be louder because although there are normally less of them, most away fans are the more commited fans as it were, so they can all group together in one place and 'Sing there hearts out for the lads' as the song (more-or-less) goes.

We have had a few to away games here and there, but that is the only one we will be going to en masse, at least to my knowledge.
