Bring the Noise

What a great post and inspiring. We've set the bar very high now. I'd also love this to carry on. How good is it to turn up at the match every week knowing an electric atmosphere just like the one against Liverpool. I'm sure everybody would agree it's far better enjoying ourselves making noise rather than sitting in silence. We are the 12th man and I'm so proud of every fan

I find it interesting that the French refer to attending a football match as a football fan by the verb ´assister’... literally to assist the team...to be part of the action....the 12th man....many City fans could take note.....

Funny that, last time I was in the Stade de France they spent 90 minutes booing their own team :)
 
Its changing, for the better. Need to keep the momentum going. People not prepared to sit there quietly anymore. Only takes a few in each area to stand up and be counted and others soon join in.

Playoff in 09. Not quite 90 minutes but they were not fucking happy. Great supporters when their team is winning though.

Tbf i have seen French rugby supporters turn on their national team but, married to a Lyonnaise I have attended loads of L’OL games and they are pretty decent and noisy in support...supporters in the north and south stands at the old Gerland stadium by trad tried to out sing / chant each other..have not been to the new stadium but have no reason to think this has changed...

I noticed that tonight. I remember when we invented that song and it was brilliant for a while but the it got ruined by clapping/speeding up and died out. Loads of other clubs still sing it around the world. We don’t and we started it.

I remember singing it differently to how we (and everyone else) sings it now. We used to keep it going at a fast pace and didn't slow down when getting back to the start again.

When we started it - I remember it being belted out at BRadford away in the mid 90s, it had the first line belted out loud and long, which is the way most clubs sing it. But we had a trend of clapping along and speeding songs up, still do, and it killed the song and took away its impact (if you know what I mean)

I couldn't tell if it was our fans or Burton's last night (I think it was Burton) but they were doing the same with "Allez allez" and it killed the song in the same way. Makes it jaunty rather than aggressive.
