Singing Section at SJP - Poll  

219 members have voted

  1. 1. Would you want a large singing/standing section at St James' Park?

    • Yes. I'm an existing season ticket holder and I would want to be a part of it
      33
    • Yes. I'm an existing season ticket holder but wouldn't want to be part of it, but I would move to a seat somewhere else if the singing section was to be where I currently sit....as long as I was happy with the new seat.
      13
    • No. The atmosphere is fine as it is.
      3
    • No. The atmosphere needs to improve but this isn't the answer.
      8
    • Yes. I'm just a member at the moment but would want one in the singing section.
      80
    • Yes. I'm just a member at the moment but would want a season ticket in a non-singing section. But a singing section needs to happen to let people who want to sing be together

Saw someone suggest Wor Songs. Would be great to have some original chants. Miles behind Liverpool and Man U fans here.

Agree. Everything we sing is a rip off

That Gordon one is shite. The kids got more songs than the rest of the team combined and he's done fuck all yet. Weird old obsession with him

Just seems lazy. Like Gordon ripping off Mane, the Status Quo one at least by Arsenal & Brighton. 

Joelinton song from city about Ederson

Isak from Spurs about kuluesevski

I'm sure there's songs from the likes of Knopfler, Sam Fender, we could make something original from and make our own.

We've literally got Botman/Batman. What's wrong with just 'nananananana Botman, Botman, etc' when he makes a good tackle or something. Would be easy as owt to get going.

Do the Botman 
Don't ya slip, let your feet glide now.
If ya got the groove, ya gotta use it.
Light rhythm in time with the music.
You just might start a chain reaction.
If you can do the Bot, you're bad like Michael Jackson

People whinging about songs being adopted from other teams songs. Honestly? The entirety of football songs are based off popular music/music halls/nursery rhymes and the like. Nothing is original and that’s fine. 
 

Away end was spectacular yesterday like. Coloccini, Jonas, Cabaye songs all got sung too. Even bloody Lovenkrands song got rolled out. Noisy, constant and loud as fuck. Fantastic craic.

Football fans need to be Phil Spector.

I just think lifting songs for Richarlison, Mane, etc is a bit wank. Just my opinion. You hear Man Utd and Liverpool fans come out with original songs consistently. We copy them.

Those are mint though and should happen more often (though Albert and Robert should also get an airing). 

 

Changing our old songs to match current players if it fits, Fabien Schar could easily have that chant now. It's ripping off other clubs I don't like.

People talk about English clubs as having a poor atmosphere compared to European clubs a lot of the time but I think that is due to how it is manufactured in Europe by well organised ultra groups, who keep singing throughout the match. 

 

Personally, I much prefer the ebb and flows of the atmosphere in English stadiums. There is something to be said for nervy silences. 

 

I know quite a lot of people complain about the atmosphere at SJP (and have for years) and certainly under Ashley they had a point. However, compared to most other grounds across England I'd still stay we're in a different league in terms of raw atmosphere. 


This is the choice basically. Same in MLS, people going mental but they’re just copying European ultras with drums and megaphones etc. 

 

Pros and cons to both I guess.

I definitely think a fanzone will help with creating original chants.

 

Even if we could have a dedicated bar large enough in town pre-match. Hoy some lad with a guitar on stage and chants will start, ala Jamie Webster who I think started the Van Dijk and the 'Allez, Allez, Allez' chant (I know that isn't original as such).

 

Was gutted I sold my ticket for Sunday in the end :lol: Looked/sounded class. Some of the away ends this season I've been in have been mint like, although I was sick of the relentless 'We've got Bruno in the middle' chant in winter!

When was the last time "N and an E..." was sang? We've got plenty simple ones that have been sang for years that we rarely hear anymore.
