I tried to start a thread on this but the mods turned it into a Palace OMT. No idea why. Separate things for me.
So I'll copy my post below.
As a prefix, I think all the above chants are too standard. I'd frankly be disappointed if we didn't hear renditions of these. We get most of them at Wembley FFS.
We need more if we're to make NWHL a fortress!!
>>>>
From a fans and atmosphere perspective we start at NWHL with a clean sheet so-to-speak.
A blank canvas to make the place as special and more importantly, as UNIQUE as possible!
The atmosphere will undoubtedly be a great one. Everyone is up for it.
But I'm talking about going the extra mile to ensure the place quickly becomes a fortress and intimidating for opponents come kick off.
Watching yesterday, it still always impresses me how the Kop have enormous flags and section-covering Shankly banners passed along the fans. They seem to do it without fail every game.
Dortmund similarly needs little introduction.
Their "Yellow Wall" is a thing of beauty and they've created an atmosphere for themselves like no other.
Whether it's the huge uprising image of the face before kick off, giant flags or flares. It feels like they have an identity for their stadium that the rest of Europe know about.
And we've probably also all seen videos doing the rounds of entire stands jumping in unison to the point it looks like it's going to collapse. Even teams like Besiktas and some Eastern European jobbies have some sense of intimidation for visiting teams.
Sadly, I don't feel we have anything!!!!! But Wednesday is the time to change all that.
I'm not talking about a few mini flags left on seats by the club. That's pathetic and we were laughed out of Wembley by Chelsea on opening day there for it.
Nor a drummer to force us into a chant or two when it gets quiet.
And I don't mean a stirring rendition of Ohh When The Spurs. That's standard fair for me and happens sporadically throughout a match anyway.
City have Blue Moon. Liverpool / Celtic YNWA. What have we got that really sets us apart??
If left to the club I fear it'll be some budget attempt to create an atmosphere by leaving out coloured squares on each seat to hold up.
...So I guess this is a call to arms for all those attending Weds or for the remaining home games.
What have we got up our sleeves??
We need to get this right from the very off, otherwise the novelty will quickly wear off and we'll fall into the same trap as Arsenal... A lifeless, souless place with no identity. Or worse, West Ham with some novelty bubble-blowing-esque trick.
Sure, we'll sing the usual numbers throughout the game, but what about for when the players walk out. Something that will make them go "fudge me, we've got a right mob here to impress!!" Maybe our own efforts will transcend onto the pitch to the players?
Can we bring "Can't Smile Without You" to the fore? I always think this is a great number yet so few fans sing it. Seems to be left to the away games. It's a start.
Have any STHs in a group got themselves some huge banner created to unveil?? Something we'll see every home game? I hear "The White Wall" banded about in the press, but that'll only work if we make it bigger and better once full.
Bring the ideas here. Serious ones mind. But BIG fudging IDEAS! The kind that can change everyone's view of Spurs and helps to create a legacy for the stadium going forward. It looks fantastic, everyone inside and outside of the club have acknowledged such. But it needs us to take it to the next level starting Wednesday.
We have one chance to get it right.
