Travelling Bulls in Good Voice

On the field at the Walkers Stadium this afternoon the Bulls may not have won the match but in the stands the away support once again did all they could to raise the spirits of the Bulls.

The Hereford United supporters were all sat in a corner of the ground to the left of the goal. Keep to a limited area, the atmosphere created by the 636 was loud enough to be heard by manager Graham Turner in the dug-out area on the far side of the pitch.

Asked for a wave during the second half when the Bulls were two nil down he duly responded.

The most vocal Foxes were sat to the left of the travelling support. They appeared to be led by a large bare-chested gentleman with a drum but even with him making as much din as he could, the Foxes found it hard to compete with the Bulls for quality of the chanting and often for sheer noise.

In fact the drum was only heard for the early part of the game. It's not certain why the drummer gave up.

The rendering of 'let's pretend we've scored a goal' was even noted by one of the Leicester websites. When it was sung just after the Foxes scored their second goal few probably thought that minutes later the Bulls would be celebrating a goal themselves.

At that time the stewards were probably more worried about 'If we score we're on the pitch.'

And to be fair the stewards were fairly relaxed about all the singing and standing until the 'let's all have a conga' chant started. The parade of twenty or so young Bulls supporters moving towards the stewards was probably one step too far and they soon returned to their seats.

A good day out to an impressive stadium.
