Glad it's not just me!

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed but how can we change things?? Persistence with the 'old way'? Start a song to get people to sing slower like when it used to be common to sing 'Sing your hearts out for the lads'. As well as not being enjoyable singing any more because of this I feel we must sound like a joke to away fans! I remember going to old bolton ground 10-15 years ago in a cup game (don't ask me what or when as I'm s**t at remembering games) and my most vivid memory is of a cracking atmosphere produced by Norwich and songs being sung properly. I think the downwards spiral started over the past five or so years, maybe longer but is now getting to the point of being ridiculous. Maybe this is why people disappeared to the Snake Pit though I'm not sure that's much better now either!
