Lots of traditions at clubs are old fashioned and out of date but that what makes them special. Not sure the players take any notice of it. Is it that important? Who cares about the players - this is about the match day experience for supporters!! Is it that important? Not sure but we will never know if the club do not allow fans to vote/discuss it officially rather than a rather bland post like the response on this thread thus far which to me in a nutshell says we will not change it - how can it not say that when we are left to state alternatives on here but no known true method to suggest alternatives that will be considered?

RobArnold10 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Really? So for a long time we've come out to One For The Bristol City and suddenly it's not good enough, doesn't generate enough atmosphere and needs to be changed? Sorry but that's rubbish, the reason we don't generate a pre match atmosphere that matches some of the top clubs is because we as fans are not good at it. If a friggin durge such as You'll Never Walk Alone can rattle out an atmosphere at Anfield then there is no reason why we can't either if we are willing. Also the average age of the track suggestions shows how out of touch some of you are, you want a new generation of fan yet want Boston's More Than A Feeling... come on(don't get me wrong I love that song)! Sometimes I begin to wonder if there is a destiny age gap on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say average, and actually average was probably leaning towards the late 80's. For the record I love a bit of MCR! For me the real points are that we as fans need to do more, and there's such an old way of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Also to go back to when we changed the run out music, I seem to recall we had a public vote on it in the mid 90s? A grand total of 10 votes were received and about 7 of them for OFTBC and since then it's been that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the real points are that we as fans need to do more, and there's such an old way of thinking. agree, but it's like the team, the team play well or do a nice passage of play the fans get excited / sing, the players respond more to the atmosphere, the crowd gets louder and more involved, the players respond - it's a feedback loop... but it needs to start somewhere. Maybe a lively upbeat song, or something that wakes people up from their 2 pints and pie stupor as the teams come out and get them fired up ? The thing is, if we don't try things we will never know. I know some will hang onto the tradition argument, but tradition is not a stationery thing... every family party I goto some songs have been played for a decade or two... but it's not always been that way. My Nephew thinks we should be playing in some version of purple and lime again because it's "our away colours" I am sure many of us remember when we first played in that kit... hell a lot of people hated it when first announced, but it has become part of our history and tradition in a sense. It's up to us today to make the "traditions" for the next set of fans, and if something is not working or bland... let's change it up - create the talking points and things today that in years time fans will have grown up with and think of as Tradition... but let's make them fun / engaging / entertaining and jetison the bland, uninspiring and boring.

The purple and lime is an interesting argument. I loved it, granted I was about 4 the first time around but two years ago it had a classy unique look and the unique element is probably why it worked so well. The fans/team psyching each other up is a proper chicken and egg thing. I've seen AG been so wound up (especially in a night game) only for the team to kill it in five minutes because they weren't up to task. As I said before, the problem for me is more us as fans rather than the song, and I again cite Liverpool with their durge. I understand what you're getting at, but okay, let's look at song choices, you'll struggle to find one to sing along to that captivates a load of people across the generations (especially mine and more importantly the younger again). My favourite running song atm is Throne by Bring Me The Horizon, great song to psyche you up. No singing to it though! Not really! The only club for me that has a decent song that's uplifting and singable is West Ham's bubbles, even if it's become so cliche. Personally I think it's nice that we have the song that we do, personable to our club and we should embrace that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
