Match Atmosphere

[pedro111]

Our fans sounded immense on the telly at Elland Road yesterday. 

[pedro111]

The Comms were like "it's all gone silent here at Elland Road" and I'm thinking yeah apart from that absolute din being made in the corner. Nice to hear the Blaydon Races being belted out too!

can't keep up with the blaydon races anymore.

i'm sure most of them dont even pronounce/finish any of the words before they're on to the next!

its shite, especially as it should rival the likes of YNWA for spine tingling atmosphere.

Howay the lads got an airing in the away end on Saturday aswell long overdue.

I agree but the "TO SEE THE BLAYDON RACES" bit is still epic even at the fast pace.

We’re at the stage where we need a campaign to sort it out. Not just that song but all the others. Weirdly “This club is my club” seems to be an exception, and is sung at the correct pace.

Huge game tomorrow...be loud and proud

@Heron i knows you are mainly flags etc but cant you organise something along the lines of a massive pre-game sing along where the words are printed out and left on seats - even just every other seat - and the dj's been given a decent version of BR to play.

I'd advocate the club introducing a policy where you're only allowed to sing if you test negative for toot

 

It's no coincidence that over recent years the speed of songs has increased at the same rate as the queues for the cubicles

Wor Songs definitely has potential as a spin-off group. People in each part of the ground trying to start and maintain chants. 

 

Can image it would need to be different people though, these people are already doing a lot of work.

Bring back Danby IMO. Legend.

[huss9]

if we win today, get that tenor gadgy from the boro game years ago to do a pre-match rendition of blaydon races before leicester kick off

[TheGuv]

Need the Felling Choir imo.

Pre match corteo displays/walks have resurfaced on our WhatsApp chat, the pre and post match music on tannoy too, as has all the concerns you chaps have regarding to the songs being sang and what pace. However, it's difficult to find consensus on the best way to (hopefully) implement something that re-educates folk of the songs od the past, how they should be sung and potentially generating new songs.

 

It's difficult to 'pick' a bar that is quiet on a matchday nowadays...we also don't want to discourage fans from other bars as many are now doing all they can to improve the match day atmosphere themselves through their own entertainment or the sale of Wor Beer. For me, personally, a stadium effort also detracts from local businesses and maybe feels a bit less organic. So a few things to consider across the board.

 

Definitely agree though that the song book and how it's sung needs reinvigorated

its our "national anthem".

its the one song we should be able to all sing correctly.

If in doubt lads lets just get Eddie Howes black and white army bouncing off all corners of ground....HWTL

That or TOON! TOON! Black and white army, both work equally well, and if thundering around the ground could cause Brighton to collapse under the lights.

[Adam]

Unreal tonight. Everyone got the memo. Great noise from the corner as normal but lots of other pockets starting things off too. 

[jack j]

Intense that tonight. Even through the nerves 2nd half it was loud as fuck at times so puts that theory to bed

 

[AJ9]

There was a point it went a bit flat after their goal but then from about 75 mins it was class again.

[Wolfcastle]

That happens surely. Whatever game anybody thinks the best atmosphere they've ever been in is, it will have have quiet spells.

[NE27]

My river seemed to prioritise the commentators voices over crowd noise, made it seem subdued throughout.

 

Glad to hear fans played their part today

Same. For the most part I was just happy the fans didn’t transmit any nerves to the players.

[Danh1]

Was sat bang on the half way line in the Milburn and was looking forward to seeing how it really is, and not from the perspective of being in the thick of it.

 

Wow is all I’ll say. Fucking class. Loud as fuck at times. United are back.
