I would have gone down the immaculate conception route. Parents don't do that sort of thing. Ever.

i went to stevenage away this season and tried the exact same thing you've suggested. instead of joining in people looked at me like i was a nutter. and as stated earlier, i'm a student and i dont fancy paying £50 for days like that. it tends to be the older people who dont join in with the chanting. maybe they think its silly, i dont know!

Oooh, FGR memories. Who recalls the first game we played there. Blazingly hot (well, it wasn't raining) Saturday afternoon, and they gave us the whole side standing area. Bloody good job too, since we took 1000 supporters and didn't stop hollering throughout. We got the right result too (possibly 2-0, anyone know any better?)

Yes!!! This worked v well at Forest Green a couple of years ago when we were knocked out of the FA Trophy (happy days!)
It began "One of us singing, there's only one of us singing, one of us singing.."
Taken up by the next "Two of us ...." etc etc . V amusing and generated good atmosphere as I remember..

We was building a song around "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" but due to time constraints and the fact I forgot to print off the lyrics it may have to wait until Wycombe....... although......... SG suggested that the "Everywhere we go" chant that I have started doing could be the anthem, especially as we now have it fitting neatly into "Yellow Army" at the end.

Paul, the 'everywhere we go' song/chant is awesome :)

As you gathered yes I am the drummer, the next game was going to be Monday night for the Barnet game, but due to it being moved back to the Saturday I cannot go. Therefore the next match will be Wycombe away (23/11/2010). December is going to be pretty quiet because I don't think I can make any of them due to most of my family having birthdays in December.

Everywhere you go with Yellow army segue is great. Usually leads to longer Yellow Armies as people are already singing.
Though as Everywhere is pretty generic whoever's leading could adapt it to suit the occasion midway through before going into yellow army. Would make us Torquay fans look well witty and that.

the games i've been to when paul is there, (Stevenage 2009, Shrewsbury, Bournemouth, Histon, Oxford, Aldershot and i even remember Crawly at home the year we got promoted as a stand out game for atmosphere) its been buzzing and a real good day out and as a student i dont fancy paying £50+ to go to away games where the atmosphere would be rubbish. if i knew the away games that paul and his drum go to then i can guarentee at least 7 other Torquay fans to come to away games and join in with the atmosphere and make it a real good day out!

He was at Shrewsbury, and I can't remember if he was at Stevenage or not this time around.

But I agree with NewtonGull, the drum makes such a difference when its played well as you do, and it makes more people join in who wouldn't originally.

I much prefer away games to home because, as has been said, the atmosphere is alot better away, and although we don't have that many large followings, when we do, its quality. The one away game I can't wait for is Cheltenham in January, Im hoping that we'll take at least 1000 with it being a Saturday, and if the drums there, then I can already see the atmosphere being brilliant. :)
