Bring the Noise

Some of the shit I've read on here is astonishing. If were looking for an answer to why the atmosphere has taken a hit, its right here on this forum. "i cant be arsed because i dont like this song", So many quotes like this in this thread is genuinely pathetic plastic mentality. Get a grip of yourselves blues, SING!

We use to start singing it on the 53 bus on the way to the game & then walking the rest off the way to Maine Rd..
Have a look at the attendance thread, there’s a video on there of us beating Spurs and as Peter Barnes is taking the corner which led to our first goal you can hear that chant from the Kippax...Ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttyyyyyyyyy.
Everyone can join in with that one.
 
The fans in south stand need to seriously shape up. How you be so fkin quiet is beyond me. Why people bother going in there if they can’t be arsed singing is also beyond me. Stop singing songs so fkin fast for a start.


There are fans in the South Stand, such as myself, that sing constantly for 90 minutes. There are people who come, stay silent and have 3 pints whilst the game is in-play. There are people who are there solely to give away fans abuse behind the safety of a line of stewards.

All that being said, if the WHOLE stadium replicated SSL1, we'd have the best atmosphere in the UK hands-down. The issue we have is that the other sections of the ground don't join in en-masse.

Our issue is that we probably have 10,000 hardcore fans in each of our 55k attendances. we're diluted by Sardine eaters, tourists and people who simply aren't engrossed in football culture the same as us (who won't sing/boo/whistle).
 
Where has ‘we’re not really here’ gone? Sounds great in full flow and you could argue it now has a new meaning and a comeback to all the emptyhad shite.

3 posts and you use the word plastic?

Seriously.

What though, people have a valid point that recent songs are either shite or concentrate on other teams than us and prefer the old city songs, unfortunately the singing section would rather sing about gerrard slipping and edin or us not scoring 10 against the rags than just pure pro City songs, and then when said city songs do start up more people join in.

You can indeed. It was truly magical I miss those days

I'm all for singing songs about city, but because 90% of fans are tempo deaf the songs you mention work because they can easily be sung in unison. We should be collectively coming up with chants on this forum that are city based that dont require fans to blow their vocal loads after one verse. Slow it down, let us breath and we are golden.
 
The sooner the family stand goes the better. The sooner safe standing comes in the better. The sooner the club price tickets better for local fans the better.

Why does the family stand stop 40,000 adults in other parts of the ground making more noise? Why are you blaming a load of 6 year olds for you not making more of an effort?

I sit in the family stand and empty seats there are reflected in other parts of the ground too. The existence of the family stand does not prevent anyone buying a ticket, the family stand does not lie empty whilst the other areas of the ground are full to bursting, the family stand does not cause high prices elsewhere. I really don’t get this obsession with it. If you want more noise then make some, tell people around you to make some, don’t sit there whining that a stand with a load of kids and some empty seats is the reason the rest of the ground can’t get themselves together

Well said , we sit in the family stand level 2 and see empty seats in other parts of the ground, the top tier of the south stand nearly always has them but nobody goes on about that !
 
Recent songs have been poor. The liverpool rip off allez allez song is embarassing.

This shouldn't annoy me, but it does. Against Liverpool we had loads singing allez allez ( I didn't, I still don't know the words of their version or ours), and yes ha ha we're taking the piss, but to the x million sat watching on the tellybox, it sounds like liverpool fans are outsinging us, when this was so far from the truth it was untrue.

Same situation a few years back when we went through a period where our most sung song was U-N-I-T-E-D/Ocean Finance.

we've got loads of songs that are city based, simple and everyone knows. they are just never sung. city til i die, you are my city, super city, hey jude .... even were not really here isn't sung that much now..... against burton the south stand actually started to sing them and more people were joining in, but as soon as it goes to a prem games its the opposite.

its like theres a song sheet for prem games in the south stand. sing the edin dzeko song and the one about liverpool. but songs just about city that people know the words to - lets not sing them. we need some kind of campaign or something aha to get the classic city songs back.

Allowing the glazers to stroll around old Trafford is embarrassing, singing about city at every single game is embarrassing, the allez song is soectacular, a modern city classic. Think your on the wrong board kid..sniff sniff

Thats what i mean. I know we're taking the piss but it just sounds like we're singing their song. I think its detrimental. Sorry if thats upset a few people but i cant bring myself to sing it because only we know the words and i feel like to the outside world it just benefits them. If we are going to have a lead song thats slagging them off then lets at least make it an original one. I like the dzeko song. No problem with that. Nice rhythm, good structure, good content and pretty original. More of that.
