I think the RBB has that policy too, and if you do turn up and watch the game for 30 seconds forgetting to sing you will also be shot. 

Seems to work. 

Unless it's during an official RBB silent protest of course

 

To the casual sports fan, RRB are 'better' than YF in what they do. Yeah its choreographed and all that, we know it is because we're football fans, but the casuals dont know, or care. Im probably going to get shot myself for this but has the thought of songsheets and stuff ever crossed the mind? Or am i wrong for thinking the view from the outside is more important than that of within?

That's probably true, but

The RBB are more interested in themselves than they are in the Club they support (or that's how it appears)

There's more of the RBB than us

They have people who 'buy in' to the whole singing at games thing 

They have people who are probably more interested in singing and having some bald guy with a megaphone tell them what to do than watching the game. .

I suspect a large proportion of the RBB are more steeped in football culture than some of our 'target audience' are.

 

Although it already happens, to a certain extent, I'd be unhappy if YF got to the RBB stage, where they start looking down on, and heaping scorn and criticism on, supporters who pay their money but choose to support the team in a different way from "real" supporters.

 

Not knocking the idea, as such, though. If song sheets and megaphones work for us, go for it.
