CyderInACan Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Is this a library Your support is fckuing shit is that all you take away It’s all just a bit pointless really isn’t it? I can see how a roaring chorus of Come on you Reds or similar can get the team going but some just seem banal and not really worth the effort. Im sure there’s more on either side but why not sing something encouraging rather than some bollocks about the noise made by the guys in the other end of the ground!?

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 A lot of chants are pretty standard, generic- used by many clubs fans, just tinkering around the edges but template similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 I think the problem is that most of the singing at AG comes from one section and it seems to me that it's largely made up of fans who come to football for a few beers and a laugh with their mates - hence a lot of the songs are funny or irreverent. There's nowt wrong with that, and without them there would be no atmosphere at all, but I doubt that songs about cider, Rovers or Massengo's hair really gee up the players.

A really good come on you reds with City on top in a game is really good. The worst chant is 'x is a shithole, i wanna go home'. Just go home then no one is stopping you.

WhistleHappy Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hate it when I spot Alexander Armstrong and his mate Richard in the car park pre-match, guaranteed we're in for a load of pointless bloody chanting when them two turn up...

WE WERE the Reds you fcking knobheads We’re guilty of singing it while we’re not in red, away at Stoke & Brentford this this season for example! And as for the Massengo song, our fans basically joined in with the WBA version of it which made it just sound like we were joining in with their version! People need to be aware of which team is singing & not simply join in because we have a version of that song, it’s massively embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they are too negative, about how much we hate the gas, wanting to go home, insulting the opposition fans... I’d rather a more positive approach - actually spur on the team. Even our city chants are a bit too laidback and not rousing enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 "<insert town name here> is a shithole, I wanna go home" is the absolute worst chant there is and seems to be sung by every away following (ours included).

Agree but Rochdale fans were brilliant in reply "but you can go home, you can go home, Rochdale's a shithole, but you can go home," Always thought the alternative should be, "then **** off back home, **** off back home, go back to your shithole and **** off back home" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
