Aaron-Bcfc Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Please, please, please can we stop attempting to recreate awful Palace songs. Thankfully no one really joined in with the one that a few tried to start about 10 minutes in today. I also believe I'm right in thinking that the group that started today's Palace chant, were the ones that booed the "Lee Johnson's taking us to Europe" chant because it was "too Palace". (Which it was). That now seems a tad hypocritical.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 It'd be nice if the kids that weren't even born when we last played the blue few in the league stopped singing about them too. Apart from that cringefest there was some decent noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra_faction Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 That chant is not Palace at all, it’s from our friends in Tilburg. Just because it sounds ‘european’ doesn’t make it Palace. Todays atmosphere was poor so whatever they or anyone wants to sing to try and improve it is encouraged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonPark Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 To be fair it’s a song from Willem II. Better we stand in silence I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I thought by the standards of S82 it was a bit subdued today. It's an unpopular view probably. I can understand why though. It wasn't such a good game today, quite cold too. Norwich don't exactly inspire as opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair do's if that's the reasoning. Though it's not the only one I've noticed this season hence why I've brought it up. When Palace came down for the league cup tie they were often singing "CPFC" on repeat, next home game in S82 a few were trying to sing "BCFC" on repeat. Again, we're better than that.

Against both Manchester sides the atmosphere was great from well before kickoff. Using the on the pitch action as an excuse is lazy imo, the atmosphere is meant to lift the team isn't it?

Not having a dig, but theres always an excuse for when the atmosphere is bad, but the excuses are just that, excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to my mate when we walked in that I felt it was going to be a bit after the Lord mayor's show. Atmosphere was fine. It's doesn't help that Norwich have such a nothing set of fans.

First thing to realise is just because Palace may sing a song, doesn’t mean it’s theirs...loads of clubs song their versions of BCFC. The ‘europe’ one that got booed by easily over 100 fans is an actual Palace chant. Secondly, whether it’s a song you like or not those lads sing more than anyone and keep things going when everyone else is in silence - credit is due here and it doesn’t seem like they get it. All I hear is people having a pop at them trying new songs (which are needed) or telling them what to sing - you are welcome to start these yourself and sing for 90 mins. Hörður song for example, everyone loves that which they started. I would suggest maybe going and speaking to them like the good old days and having a chat, they'll be open to that rather than just putting down their efforts online. They, along with others created S82 and deserve credit so if they want to start new songs it should be encouraged as we need new ones and they won’t always be to everyones tastes. Go and have a chat with them in person, much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good if everyone could learn the words to Wurzels songs as there is only about 20/30 lads that sing other than the chorus. jusr wondering, but do you start songs and sing for 90 mins? Only asking as atleast they do that, Wurzels or not so to moan about them is ridiculous. Like I said above, go speak to them rather than moaning on a forum.

reformed_red Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Palace have probably got "the best" section of fans for generating an intimidating S. American / European style atmosphere. Their chants are good. Dont overthink it guys and girls. Just sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point the lad/bloke could be making is that Place do sing it. And have for years. Palace sound very European. The singing section sound European. Ultra-Fcation is European. Palace are Ultras. Ultras at BCFC? The theme there is some of being unoriginal. That was not Bristol City although I admire links to Willem II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
