Watching the Wolves FA cup game reinforces why our own song (and not there's like in the past) should be played right before kick off again.

HEAR ME OUT! Past attempts have often been met with sceptical comments such as 'The best songs are the spontaneous ones' and likewise you get people putting suggestions simply because they've heard a song and change one word that is vaguely similar to a players name which also does not work ... to which we get several members of the forum criticising them without offering any constructive criticism, ways to change/improve their suggestion or making any suggestions of their own. I do however feel that more fans would join in if there were some creative and catchy songs, as seen by the above responses (peoples lack of willing to join in with the repetitive chants). I know some song suggestions seem cringey when reading them at first, but I'm sure rather than slating peoples suggestions, if we had a forum page which encouraged song creation, people worked together to create songs and was a medium for showing the lyrics to songs for fans around the stadium then it could well kick off - be a tool to create more atmosphere. Furthermore, if people had a page to show what songs were going to be trialled at the next game then more people would be more willing to try and start new songs going. My reasoning for feeling we need a chants page is that a lot of the famous songs that other clubs fans sing clearly have been choreographed and are not spontaneous song, and having thousands of fans singing a song like the Xabi Alonso song Liverpool used to sing to the tune of oh-bla-di oh-bla-da that everyone knows the tune to and had been cleverly written makes people more inclined to join in, creates a better atmosphere and it might encourage the less hardcore singing fans to join in. Personally, I'm not a particularly creative song writer so may be hypocritical, but I'm not a massive fan of a lot of our songs. If together we produced a couple of class songs using the creativity of some of this forum then I'd be a lot more inclined to sing, as would a lot of others on this forum I'd imagine. A chants thread crops up on here fairly regularly - it doesn't get pinned though so fairly quickly goes off the front page and disappears. Here's the most recent one I can find: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd probably even practiced new chants among themselves beforehand in the pub or en route to an away game. Makes it much easier if it's a concerted group starting off a new song/chant than an individual or just a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different to friends rehearsing a chant before a game. The difference is back then the crowd was more likely to join in. Now most of the gate avoids anything with foul language (society moves on).

'Rehearsing' may be the wrong word but someone starting off a new song in a pre match pub and others joining in is hardly unheard of. Spontaneous songs at matches tend to relate to action - or individuals - on the pitch, or the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do feel a return to majority established songs and minority 'ultra' style songs would create a better atmosphere, the balance is the othrr way round at the moment. There's a place for both. The main thing is they're giving it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBibs Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well done everyone. Particularly impressed how the fans stayed with the team when we went a goal down. Absolute limbs (according to my 15 y/o daughter!) in S25 when the City goals went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 It just seemed better today. The ground seemed more full and in S26/s25 it just felt like there was going to be more of an atmosphere. Good fun today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 @James recent tweets from club and S82 seem to suggest a bit of harmony between both, Palmer with the drum, etc. Has this just come about, or have both parties got together?

KnowleUtd City Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I sit over in Lansdown W12, and the noise in the ground was decent at times today, keep up the good work in S82 lads! It was noticeable that the South Stand was busier generally yesterday, and at times the whole stand was making a noise. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
