"Yes, how about the Liverpool one, or the one we had for Flint...." So that won't be their own song then. Why is there this hang up about songs having to be original? Do you think the players really care if the song has been used somewhere else before? They just want to feel loved & confident in their surroundings. Any decent chant is better than no chant in my view - original or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we’re 2 up at half time and still looking comfortable into the second half. Leeds were so poor the Leeds fans started joining in with our Leeds are falling apart song. Soon the whole stadium was singing and moving on to other songs, it was deafening. All of a sudden the Leeds players, with facial expressions a mixture of embarrassment and pure rage turned into a different team and we were lucky to escape with a draw. If the Leeds fans had walked out or stayed quiet I’m in no doubt we would have won that game comfortably. Can second your point That proved it for me that atmosphere really can change the outcome of a game and we were extremely lucky that Leeds only hit the bar right at the end of the game . If Ashton gate was ever a quater as loud as Leeds were that day it would have a massive impact on the players . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, good atmosphere does help, although a good atmosphere is also due to good performances on the pitch so it's a bit chicken and egg. But my main point is, it's nowhere near a 10% advantage. Also we had a good atmosphere the week before vs Sunderland, went in 3 nil up. Us throwing away leads was not uncommon, and can't just say it was the atmosphere for the reason. Actually ‘an extra man’ is a really interesting way of putting it. I really think it’s reasonable to suggest that if the atmosphere is crackling & the players are feeding off of it then it can be the equivalent of having an extra man on the pitch. We’ve seen it many times before at Ashton Gate & other stadiums across the country that the home crowd can become ‘the 12th man’ leading to the saying of ‘home advantage’. Think back to the Man Utd game as an example - do you not think that in effect we were the 12th man that night? Plus there are the psychological impacts that a partisan home crowd can have on refereeing decisions - but that’s a different topic altogether!

OliOTIB Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 New Andi Weimann song? The current ones getting a bit tedious and repetitive. Feel like because of what hes put in over the last 15 months he deserves a better one? Ohh Nigel Said Were Gunna play him in Centre Mid Ohh words cant describe When I see him in the Red and White His hair is fine Scoring belters all the time Thats why we sing this song For Andi Weimann du du du du du Obviously annotations can be made but feel it can be a good base for a chant.

We sing it a bit when he scores but not really at any other time. His confidence must be a bit down right now - I’m sure he would get such a boost from hearing his song being sung. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliOTIB Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Relevant to the other ongoing atmosphere thread - some songs what my mate and his dad thought up. Kal Naismith- Rhythm is a dancer Naismith is the answer You can play him anywhere Stole him from the luton He is our solution Try and stop him if you dare Woaaahhh Kal Naismith Woaahhhh You should see him in the air Woaaahhh Kal Naismith Woahhhhhh Mark Sykes - I am in love I cant deny An irishman who plays for city called mark sykes Hes running up And down the right Hes fkn rapid and he plays in red and white De de de de (to song) Ross Mccrorie - Whats the story Ross McCrorie Wellllssssss Need a little time to wake up wake up Wellllsssss Whats the story Ross McCrorie Sam Bell - vid from 20 seconds From Down the road He loves to fight Hes born to play In red and white So listen close It must be said Just like his dad Sam bells a red Open to opinion of course, but could be a solid base for a few songs @James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May try and find some highlights but I'm sceptical it was that good. One I do remember as being good and positively impacting the players was v QPR. At 11 v 11 we were goalless and dominant in a range of ways. Baker sent off and the crowd got into it somewhat, helped to lift us and the players raised their game too. Was a bit backs to the wall and the atmosphere very much helped as we were up against it. Edited August 7, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R Posted August 8, 2023 Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 I can't wait until I hear a song about Dickie. Think it is going to be a classic one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
