Bring the Noise

[fathellensbellend]

Wish they would turn the fucker off permantly, cannot speak to the person next to you because of the volume, painful

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

No. But you are unremittingly negative. I don't know how someone with that mentality made it through.

What is negative about saying we have day trippers? It's a fact

I wouldn't mind but 1894 sing the most cringing songs & very rarely introduce any truly atmospheric MANCUNIAN song or chants.

Imo....we need to adopt "Don't look back in anger" as OUR song.

It's lyrics are easy, it's rhythmic and atmospheric, it's by Manchesters most famous group and commemorates the arena bombing.

1894 should be introdcing /singing atmospheric song rather than "empty seats" City's going down" " Edin Dzeko"

Every City fan must do their duty tomorrow !!

Fuck off mate we get enough Oasis drivel rammed down our throats by the tannoy before and after the game, and the song was released about 20 years before the arena bombing , it doesn't commemorate it at all.

Couldn't disagree more, as my previous post indicates. People have been bludgeoned into passivity by years of that rah-rah dj stuff. I'll chant with the best of them if you give me half a chance. We didn't need that on the Kippax, and especially not on derby day. The favourite songs will always get a groundswell of support throughout the stadium.

Not systematically against the stuff played when they first come out and line up, by the way. But it should not go right up to the k.o. whistle. Nor the hyped-up shouting through the pa.

We've got to get the 'old classics' going again & again & again.

1894s song book is rank.

Completely an elephant Uwe.

What's the history and connection of Blue Moon to City ?

Do you like music from the 20s & 30s ?

Fair enough point. I was until very recently a season ticket holder in the second level South Stand, and we couldn't bloody hear them anyway! I swear there's an acoustics problem in the stadium. Which I'm hoping will be somewhat remedied by the North Stand extension — if the club get it right (and it's not certain that they will…)

Not sure that I agree with your choice of song, by the way. Good song, but not rhythmic enough. And in the wake of the Arena bombing, it seems appropriate to me to be adopted as Manchester's song, given the very moving way it was sung by the crowd in Albert Square. Greater Manchester (yeah even that lot from Trafford…).

Hasn't “Wonderwall” become sort of de facto our song? We sing it at Wembley, anyway — when we win, that is.

The answer is to shift away fans out of SS2 & 3 down to around the corner flag....awful acoustics.

SS2,3 & 75% of SS1 should be all City.

Two big ends are better than one !!

Agree with everything you say pal,that chant where they go high pitched at one point is fucking cringe.

I’m in 107 or it’s now known as 007. If you can get around from the new stand works , the tunnel club might be in the way going west . Or you could get in early and get off the concourse and walk along the seats . Doing that when they’re full would be impossible plus stewards can be a problem asking to see ticket etc especially in a derby game . You’re going to have to go all mission impossible

walking along the seats might be my best option, but wont stewards be outside already scanning whether someone is walking along the seats to the other side

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Just fuckin sing :)

 

[jrb]

Will the rest of the Etihad please sing along with SSL1, blocks 111, 110, 109, SSL3, and the kids on NSL1. Doing the Poznan is optional.

Can we fck off Hey Jude. Embarrassing we sing a scouse song.
What's our connection to it anyway?

Not a fan at all of this desperation for the PA system to be turned off. All It does is creates pockets for fans to push their own song preference against another, you'll always get somebody trying to start their new/shit chant against the louder song currently being sung whilst another pocket are singing their favourite too. Then You get people in quieter areas who would be willing to sing unable to make out what song to join in with and so they just dont bother at all.

With the PA system on, they play Hey Jude or Bluemoon or whatever and the entire ground knows exactly what song to sing and when. Its a myth that turning it off somehow helps the atmosphere. There shouldnt be a problem with noise pre-match regardless tomorrow, unless there is another shit show trying to get into the bloody ground so it ultimately doesnt even matter.

Watch the first 6mins 40secs of this^:
No earsplitting adverts on a big screen, no daft microphone bloke coming out with utter nonsense like ‘Our Number 25, the Human Calculator, Manuuuuuuuu Akaaaaanjiiiiiiii’, ‘Our Number 19, Al Araña, Juuuuuuulien Ááálvareeeeeeez’, no Danzone Fanny or Natasha Spike, no pitch-side interviews with some random boxer from Azerbaijan promoting his fight at the Co-Op, no crap pop-punk version of a dreary song called ‘Blue Moon’, no light show with wolves howling at the Moon like we had last season, just Blues making a racket!

We’ve been singing it since the 60s. We were the first set of fans to make it a football chant, coïnciding when we were champions of England in 1968, came out the same month we beat West Brom 6-1 at Maine Road in the Charity Shield.

Much like we were the first to make ‘City til I Die’, ‘Voulez Vouz/Bernardooooo’, ‘here’s to you Vincent Kompany’, Billy Ray Cyrus/‘don’t sell Joe Hart, super Joey Hart’, Amarillo/‘is this the way to Istanbul?’, Fleetwood Mac/‘I’ll follow you everywhere’… into footy chants.

Did we abandon it for a while? Never heard it on the Kippax in the 70s and 80s.
Not that bothered about Sweden, Kentucky, New York, Cornwall etc. But singing a scouse associated song......sour taste.

I don’t know, I wasn’t born until the early 80s.

To be fair to those four Scousers: one was an Everton fan, one was an Arsenal fan and the other two didn’t like football.
