agree with ur opinion that ur stadiums are like prisons. i was one of the away fans in the first leg. dammit the aux police wdnt even lemme take off my shirt! at first i thought it was a joke. heres a pointer, start with allowing drums to be let in. then you talk about supporting culture
You’ve only been to just a few games. Go ask people like S Gulam and Brian Millar, what the Singapore Fans were like…
Singapore Fans were still going for the games even when we were relegated to the div 2 of malaysian football.
and trust me…Kallang Stadium was and will once again be very intimidating
Yes, David. You are absolutely right. I have only started going to football matches in the past 5 years while volunteering at Red Sports.
I think I should have stated clearer with regards to my above thoughts to indicate that I am referring to Singapore’s fan culture in recent years.
I wasn’t around during the Malaysia Cup days and I have not seen first hand the atmosphere. But judging from all the accounts by people who were there, I’m sure it was electrifying. Hopefully, we will be able to replicate that.
Like you say, Kallang Stadium will once again be intimidating.
