£20 for every seat in the house irrespective of stand? If so that’s good value and yes lessons to be learned by usThey paid 20 quid. Same as us
I mean something similar to below , but an Oasis track, before the whistle as the players get ready for kick off or after the final whistle, whilst the players are celebrating after a win.
What we’ve got is a farty version of Blue Moon that lasts a minute or so.
We need a proper anthem.
Nah I get what you mean. I don’t understand the clubs rationale with playing that version of Blue Moon instead of the original.I agree.
I know it’s a cliche, City and Oasis, but Oasis have numerous songs we could use as an anthem, like we have done after beating United at full-time. I appreciate Blue Moon is now a tradition at City, but it really is a poor anthem, especially the version that is used by the club.
Villa used to sing ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’. I don’t know if they sing it anymore.

Carabao Cup effect I reckon. Most oldies have a fond affection to it due to it being our last trophy winning memory for such a long time until 2011. Plus all the games are night matches which are easier for FOCs to attend.
Get a decent chant and a half decent drummer and problems with the atmosphere could be sorted.

Some of the best chants like the one I cut and pasted couid work equally well with fans clapping along.Drums are like marmite with City fans Tim! I'm not in favour of them but we have trialled them in the past because sometimes you have to be open to ideas regardless of how controversial they are. We originally did it for Gladbach at home in 2016 - the rearranged game after the thunderstorm the night before - and the guy we had on the drum did a decent job. Trouble is, at half-time on the concourse he copped for shit loads of abuse with some fans calling him a nonce, etc, so he sacked it off second half - after coming close to battering the clown who called him a nonce ;) The fan who had a go at it in the second half is a top lad but drumming clearly wasn't his forte and he just ended up smashing the shit out of it!

You are spot on @Tim of the OakSome of the best chants like the one I cut and pasted couid work equally well with fans clapping along.
My view is that we would be better off with a Capo and a drummer. Anyone abusing somebody for trying to improve the atmosphere is misguided at best IMHO.
I used to go over to see Atalanta once a season before they were successful and the ultras at the front would point anyone slacking on the chanting. Anybody pointed out had to up their game.
We’ve gone far too easy on the people who stand about contributing fook all in the designated singing sections
We play this song at most games Wonderwall it has a catchy chorus.
Look over the pond a MLS team calls their mini yellow wall "Wonderwall" and plays the song to tie, as a club, we're not missing a trick here?
Even the players bought into
Absolutely, Wonderwall a Manchester song would be perfect.
It might have been old school with lots of FOCs (like me) but we were bloody noisy.
There were lots of FOCs (us 2 included) but most of the songs originated from the younger supporters.It might have been old school with lots of FOCs (like me) but we were bloody noisy.
Rayan Cherki/Starman song was loud after the Madrid matchThere were lots of FOCs (us 2 included) but most of the songs originated from the younger supporters.
Lots of noise but still too many songs about Zabaleta, Kolo, Balotelli, and even Amorim at one point
My New Year's Resolution was to only join-in with the songs about the current players, but I seriously don't remember that happening until Semenyo scored
I was also disappointed that we'd reverted to the "Rayan Cherki".(Kolo/Yaya tune) and seemingly dropped the Bowie/Starman tune that was booming across the Stadium of Light
At least that was original and a bit different
