The brief moments of applause after a goal has been scored failed to disguise the eerie silence along the stands of football venues across the country indicating how much level of support supporters give to their clubs and probably putting their passion in court.

There is no question that supporters' play an important role in helping teams reach an extra gear as what has been famously coined as the 12th man.

While it is normal to vent out their frustrations, local fans should convey their feelings through club songs which has been proven a success in many countries and in many languages.

When Panchor Murai first arrived to the Brunei DST Premier League last year, their supporters passionately beat the drums which no doubt played some part in their fourth place finish.

It is common to hear the rant of supporters for incidents they do not agree on but channelling their energies by singing could be the key in propelling the club they hold dear to success.

Malaysia Super League (MSL) side Johor Darul Takzim has songs dedicated for the club whenever they play at home.

Loyal followers of English clubs portray their unconditional support by singing the club's songs or a few verses which symbolises the club's history or sometimes in reference to the club's players.

Despite cases of violence and crowd disorder tainting the explosive matches in the ongoing European Championship in France, there has been a positive atmosphere owing to the masses of supporters filling the stadiums with loud and passionate chants for their nation.

Hundreds of England supporters took to the streets in Marseille singing the now infamous 'Don't Take Me Home' chants echoing similarities with tributes dedicated to Dmitri Payet, Mesut Ozil and Dele Alli.

The local leagues still receive support from sections of supporters but the absence of club songs or popular chants quietened the spirits and sometimes the lack of verbal appreciation to the team.

Passionate supporters show their true colours by singing a chorus of the club's song or popularising football chants rather than making up the numbers.

There has been an anthem invented for DPMM FC with a dedicated band helping pull large crowds and their massive support has helped the 'Gegar Gegar' men to a string of victories at home last season.
