May Contain Nuts Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hurrah for anecdotal evidence! You really don't think people find the phrase "everyone is frightened of that Derby pride" funny? Here's an example of someone ripping it which I saw recently: http://www.wfcforums.com/showthread.php?51161-Derby-County-4-2-Fruili-Province-B-Preview-26-04-14 Yes it's a piss-take post in its entirety, but he has a point. Also, whenever it comes on many people don't sing it properly, with people going too fast or getting the words wrong, despite the fact the words are there on the screen and the music is played on the PA. I hate it. Fortunately we never seem to sing it during the matches and have a lot of other decent songs. I do think it's cringeworthy, and stupid when people can't clap in time. I just wouldn't take isolated comments from what's likely only a handful of people on the internet and turn into into something that sounds dramatic like 'Other clubs are laughing at us!' - even if you found me 10, 15, 20 posts like that, it wouldn't be a groundswell of opinion. Again, people really don't care and IMO it's not something anyone should get hung up about! PS The words on the screen are wrong, now that's embarrassing. PPS, pretty much every 'official' football song in existence is bloody terrible - that's the joy of them, they're all cringeworthy nonsense!

PPS, pretty much every 'official' football song in existence is bloody terrible - that's the joy of them, they're all cringeworthy nonsense! Not stupid - impossible. Distance from someone in the back of the south stand to the back of the north stand is around 170 metres. The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 metres per second. In order for someone in the south stand to hear two people (one in the north stand, one in the south stand) clapping apparently simultaneously, the person in the north stand would need to clap half a second earlier. Similarly, for it to sound 'right' to someone in the north stand, then the fan in the south stand would have to clap half a second earlier. That's why sound in a football stadium always appears to 'roll'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People sat within 25 yards either way of me shouting DERBY up to 2 seconds before the actual song - no sound travel issues there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Sound travel isn't the issue most of the time, people just can't do elementary timing. For example When I Was Young, even with the drum you get people singing out of time with one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalley Ram Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Atmosphere against Brighton was truly cracking but was I the only one who got a bit bored of singing the same songs over and over again? I'm sure we used to have more songs but I'm buggered if I can remember any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
