I really hope this season that the groung gets a few new anthems going, Feed the Goat many years ago was overwhelming to hear, sung with pride, love and passion, with the new team being assembled i feel the need to drain of a few of the old songs, songs i don't particularly want to join in with are
Stand up if you love city,,,crap
weve got Robinho....poor
Any songs you Bluemooners know that dont touch your soul??
I agree, i
HATE about 50% of the dross songs that get sung at City!
- I dont join in with any songs that have that Italian opera tune, you know the "Pau-lo-Di-Canio" one that MCFC have rinsed to death: "Sven-Gor-an-Ericksonn" "Ire-land-is-Superman" "We've-got-Rob-inho" "WE'VE-GOT-SHIT-CHANTS-YOUKNOW!" This is the ultimate worst footy chant tune of all time, can it please be fucked off immediately!?!
- I dont feel "Stand up if you love City" neither! Cheesy as fuck!
- "You are my City, my only City, you make me happy when skies are grey........" In the last 5 years this has creeped in but it is not a City song, it's a shit East Midlands Championship or North East teams song that i do not like at all!
- "We all follow Man City over land and sea, and Stretford....." Cockney teams song! dont like it, dont sing it!
- Any Mu**ch songs! grown up, got wiser, more intelegent, more classy to lower myself to sing any of them! I hope theres more than me that thinks that too - even United fans laugh when we sing them!
- "If you hate Man United clap your hands" "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" Primary school girls playground song, dross!
Improvement in song quality is down to getting your heads round the fact that all these awsome songs that get posted on here never ever get sung at games and get lost forever! People who make them CD's need to be contacted and given the tune and the words to songs so they can be distributed around the City community, people need to have some balls and get up in a quiet part of the game and sing a new quality song instead of waiting for the usual boring safe songs! but the best way ive found that songs get started is in the pubs before and after games and especially on the coaches and pubs when we go to away games!
The overall atmosphere in the CoMS is pretty poor! The Singing Section has 2 blocks and the South Stand has 3 blocks (lower tier) and they think they are both really good and openly say it, post it on forums and sing about it! but with 1500-2000 people max in both areas (about 4000 in total), its just far too miniscule a number to even be considered a good atmopheric set of vocal fans! The Kop behind the goal at Bramall Ln holds 11000 fans! The Kop at Anfield holds 12500! The Holt End at Villa Park holds 13500! Bearing these facts in mind i think the rest of the stadium has a lot to answer for! im not a SS'er or SS'er but i do consider myself a vocal supporter but there are too many people in the CoMS who rarely sing, there are some who never sing and there are the worst lot who frown at and moan at the people who do sing! What the fuck is that about!? and when we have a tiny vocal/atmopsheric area in our stadium it adds up to a poor atmopshere too often!
Also songs dont get sung for long enough! The SS or SS might start one off but by the time it's reached the North Stand and Level 3 the SS and SS have stopped singing it after 2 or 3 verses and a lot of the time songs just die on their arse! If we all made a bigger effort at games to be more vocal and get behind the team we could get a pretty good atmosphere at the CoMS! it will never be a fantastic atmosphere at our ground because of the dimensions of the stadium with small tiers and where the away fans are but more effort will better it! Look at the Hamburg game last season to show how that then effects the teams performance!
Come on blues! Im not saying i want us all painted blue from head to toe, all have flairs and flags, be standing on the seats, doing konga's or jumping on our mates backs for 90 minutes 19 times a season; but you get my point!
