Red Army 75 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Just can’t win . Atmosphere is shit . Oh I don’t like that song. Feel free to start your own songs off . They might be good. Looking forward to the Ipswich game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonPark Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 I for one like it too. Nothing new here though, fans want to make noise, people don't like new songs, those said people then moan about the atmosphere and the songs being sung. Its the Bristol city way, it's laughable really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 'modern' thing...noise for the sake of it. It's not atmosphere...it's like white noise that you try to blank out. Drives me mad when you here announcers say ' cmon make some noise'... What the hell does that actually mean? It's inane dumbed down and unfortunately approved of by the majority of the millennials...don't think...just make a noise.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Whilst I must agree that some of the singing is hardly inspirational and unoriginal, if the alternative is a largely silent crowd with the away fans enquiring as to whether they can loan a book from us- then give me Bristol City la la la la every time.

Find a song that people pick up on and it's noise, no one sings and it's a library. Rock and a hard place. Have to say it kept me warm joining in yesterday.

Fair play, each to their own...however I'd look like a right numpty doing that sat amongst the old age pensioners club in the middle of the Dolman. Call me an old git, but when younger I've sung and chanted with the best of them, but even without rose tinted glasses, it was always classy, worthwhile and often funny...now imo, and many others, it's just boring, inane, with lack of thought or humour, and often copied. Pretty much like everything else in todays society...nothing new or copied. What's made my day however...is that I got snaked by a Rodian bounty hunter working for Jabba the Hutt...at least I know what I'm dealing with :laugh: wtf! kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 My award for the worst chant has to go to the "Bobby, Bobby Reid" one. Could we not have come up something better than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonPark Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Out of interest , how old are the people on here who don't like it? Is it an age thing? If you look at the area when it is being sung, I sat in other end of SS yesterday, you see a lot of younger lads enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Personally , I'm no Millenial , I'm a child of the 60's and love the chant . Gives things a bit of a European feel . How anyone can say it kills the atmosphere I've no idea . Anything that helps to bring back the atmospheres that I recall as a youngster is good by me ! Mind you , I maybe the only 50 something that can't stand anything sung or played by the bloody Wurzels ! Controversial ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most football chants are copies. I quite like the (sort of) icelandic clap that we have added though. Que loads of jokes about catching the icelandic clap....
