Actually poster boards with the chants on them may work for many in the north end.

I've thought about doing that, but I didn't know if that was something that we would be able to do without getting kicked out. Let us know, at least a couple of us would want to do that, if it's not considered lame. (As long as I get to stand in my seat when the opposing team has a corner, few things in life give me more joy than to try and piss off the guy taking the corner. 🙂)

Aaaah the simple pleasures of life. 😉

Perhaps we need to send a few "missionarys" over to the north stands to talk to people with copies of the chants to be handed out as we get started with the madness about 15 minutes before game time?

Well, as many of you know I have been to Roma games and RSL games. I see what you are getting at uroffside, but these guys are right, we just don't have the mass numbers yet to compare with the curva sud.

We have done a good job with having lots of flags, let's continue that. I'd still like to try a "choreo" where everyone holds up paper of our colors. I wish we did not have all the rules that they don't have in Europe so we could have flares, smoke, etc.. but unfortunately they don't let us do that here in the USA. I think we do need to devise a hymn to sing before every game. In Rome, that song "Roma Roma Roma" actually called "L'Inno della Roma" is almost a spiritual experience.

On a personal note, da dove sei uroffside? Sono felice che c'e' un altro romanista qui!

I was about to say that uroffside was Czar's alter-ego, so I am glad that got cleared up. 🙂

Really, I've never been to a RSL match, but I have watched all but 1 on TV. I have also seen a ton of Champions League games (also on TV). RSL and the Loyalists are doing a great job. And as the team improves (please!) and continues its traditions the Loyalists and vocal RSL fans will make the atmosphere even more Euro-ness for everyone involved.

Good job guys.

That would be great! I've almost done it myself, but the more logical side of me has always won out.

I'm telling ya, if we could only get a couple of "N" sections going - that aren't Loyalists - we may even get a few of the hoity toity's over in the VIP sections to chant a few lines - if only under their breathes.

Hey! What's that supposed to mean?! Just because I was one of the first season ticket holders and chose seats on the halfway line doesn't mean we're "hoity toity", there's plenty of screaming from over there. No chants just spring up but that's just because none of the people over there can understand the words, or have the lyrics for that matter.

I like the idea of having chants handed out before matches, that would help a lot. And I'm sorry, I love the loyalists, but my seats are better than the corner.

Buon vedere altra Roma smazzare qui!! Parlate italiano? Sono spiacente se non capite il mio senso di parlare. Parlo un dialetto romano. Spero che abbiate gradito il mio alberino. Ero provare giusto a fare alcuni punti, quello sono tutto. Non ho desiderato rendere chiunque arrabbiato o qualche cosa. Pensate la I una falsificazione o qualcosa? Spero non. Ciao

I think someone is planning a palace coup! They're "talking ferrun" so we won't cotch'em at it. 😉

Whoops. My apologies, sir. Can I help you to your seat, sir? What type of bread would you like with your Filet, sir? :D

(Honestly, I'm glad we have a few "hoity toity" Loyalists. 😉 )
