Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 In the #packthegate video, del boy says bounce around, obviously an invite to return our iconic chant under GJ. Personally however I would not like to see us use it. For me in was part of the GJ era and will always associate it with that time. I can see why some would have it back as it was a real good 'un for getting the EE (and even other parts of the ground) rocking, also good on away days. If it started I would probably join in but would like to see the past left in the past. COYR Yes or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunningdalered Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm a big fan of 'the bounce' - I know from speaking to friends who support other championship sides and saw the bounce in its GJ heyday were suitably impressed. Update the words and let's get bouncing again I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Bounce around the ground is a chant I will always associate with johnson, I'd rather we had a new chant for Del and I'm willing to learn that penny arcade thing if it means we get an atmosphere half as good as Ibrox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bounce has become a part of us, del boy says...... fits nicely. Just wish he'd been a bit more assertive with it, I get the feeling that he feels hes treading on johnsons territory a bit.

I kinda of agree with you I think he's going to be a sucess here and think he deserves his own song (I'm sure he will if we keep up the exciting attacking football at home) thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manon Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Actually, my first reaction to this was similar to many others - no way, that's johnson territory! But the longer I pondered it, the more I've come round to embracing it with del boy. They were good times with the johnson bounce, and I suppose the fear is to have those memories tarnished, in the same way they can be when a successful manager returns and makes a mess of things, like dalglish, for example. But chants are different, aren't they? Each and every club have popular chants that they modify, update and keep topical. So why not the johnson bounce? After all, it was one of the most uplifting,iconic themes we've had for a long time at the gate, and if it helps revitalize and invigorate the club with the positivity of that time then why not? Can only be a good thing. Even if the team start playing shit and we skid down the table at least they'll be something to look forward to! Voted YES.

Cowshed Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Let's get this going again, with the majority voting yes. Del has actually said it, so no excuses now! Johnson didn't say it either .. YSC etc take a bow. Maybe those behind what was a clever idea should do as they see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepers Ball Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Would be good if people did it properly. The East End start it then sing "Dolman bounce around" and people get up and just move their arms as if driving an imaginary car with a big steering wheel. People? If you do it keep your arms down and actually bounce !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bywaterred Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The thing is I me and my mates think this all starts to early. I remember being at derby losing the whole game then scoring late on. We all bounced around the ground after the equaliser then derby went and scores 2 mins later. We looked like a load of idiots. If we have reason to bounce I shall bounce but when we go 1 up in 3 minutes or very early on I think it's all a little premature. I know some will disagree but 9 times out of 10 we end up with egg on our faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
