Rumpole Quite often the Madejski crowd struggles to get behind the team in a supportive manner. I know motivational booing worked on Shane Long, but it's not for everyone.
With not much to cheer, I have been trying to think of things we can actually do to encourage the team in a positive way - and thought of the fun thing where you say 'olé' or 'wahey' (as some people seem to shout) whenever the team is in control of a match, and you cheer every successful pass.
Now, although we may not control the match from the very start, I think it would make a huge, positive, impact on the atmosphere, and thus the players, if we Oléed at every successfully completed pass. It would, no doubt, show the players that we do appreciate it when they get things right, and hopefully give them the confidence to push on and win the game on Saturday.
So, who's with me? Who else is going to stand up and be counted on saturday and cheer every successful pass?
I, for one, think this could turn our season around if we all put in our best effort.

Rumpole I thought you said this was a good idea? Of course I'm serious! I'm always serious about helping the team perform.

SPARTA IN for an Olé everytime we complete a pass. If the football is shit, we might as well try and have a good time anyway!

Rumpole I'm not sure how showing support for his passing prowess (if he starts) will push him over the edge.

Royal91 The players need to trigger off the fans, maybe its a match saving block, a jinking run, an excellent cross, a solid attempt on goal or simply passion.

Esteban That the reason the majority of Reading fans are so Oxford.
2 world wars, 1 world cup Love the sentiment though. Tweak the idea a bit maybe?
