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.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted March 4, 2018 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.

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 !

Interesting perspective from the (no offence) older generation. I'd class myself as the 'middle' generation; watched the 90's culture almost rinse and repeat over the last 20 years. However, what's important to understand is that today social media drives culture in a way it never did when we were younger (because it didn't exist ). Given that, I wonder how many of us would have also 'copied' what we saw. Or, even realised we were copying what we'd heard on matchday anyway. Very little in society is new, no matter what generation we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little in society is new, no matter what generation we're in. Plenty of evidence given nowadays, showing that the 'younger' generation have less imagination in general, to many of the older generation...btw, I'm middle aged ;-) Everything is given to us nowadays...answered for you at a touch of a button. You don't have to think or work things out any more. Creating and imagination are in many cases a long lost art for what was normal for the majority of previous generations. In the past you often had to work things out yourself or create ways yourself...invention if you like. Much of that is helped by technology these days and added to each year. Creativity is becoming less and less. New forms of old, more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bobby Reid's Mate Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm in S82 and when it first got tried, I thought this is awful. But it grew on me and the volume of it increases significantly when City have a chance or win a corner. Can really boost the players when they hear the crowd getting up for it. Now I like it.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 It sounds great with everyone singing it. Sadly the vast majority of the people in that area stand arms crossed so it is normally only about 100 people keeping it going. That makes anything sound lousy.
