On Saturday it's not about beating the Mackems...........

....it's about out-singing the filthy swines.

Good teams come and go but the crowd should always be consistent, and on Saturday WE have to be at our very best, never mind the players.

Make no mistake, the unwashed will be singing for 90 minutes as if their lives depend on it. We have to match that.....and then better it.

There has been lots of criticism of the atmosphere at SJP lately, some of it justified and some of it not, but on Saturday there can be no hiding place.

Non stop singing lads 'n lasses.......or else ! !

No, it really is about beating the makems.

They didn't make a peep last season until they scored. I know there was only 700 of them but that's no excuse, is it? Our support was very vocal at the Stade de Merde and that got their lot singing to try to drown us out: hence a great atmosphere. Plenty of noise last season despite the weirdness off the pitch, the nightmare on it and the appalling weather.
