[QUOTE="ecks tartan army, post: 144175"] the thing that ****** me off (certainly with FoS) is when someone leads the crowd. this actually ruines the atmosphere and disguises the sheer volume of noise created by the fans. let the fans sing it accompanied only by the imistakeable sound of the massed pipes and drums. (for want of an example - 1990 grand slam match, probably the most emotional rendition of FoS EVER heard, and the fact half the crowd finish a bar ahead of the rest just furthers this. (it really is amazing when that many people are singing that even after the music finishes you can still hear not just signing, but the actual tune) on a side note, does anyone know is the murrayfield pipes and drums will be present at murrayfield next week - or are the IRB picking and choosing the traditions they allow during the world cup. (for me, surprisingly, the sound of Highland Cathedral fires me up pretty well, but i think both teams will emerge to World in Union next week. :( ) [/QUOTE]
