Bartok Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Always wondered why that ancient folksong "the Derby Ram" wasn't adopted decades ago. "As I was goin' to Derby twas on a market day I saw the finest Ram sir that ever was fed on hay! Etc etc etc etc etc" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 when did this start as a 'thing'? Through our glory years I can't recall it and to me it has no emotional link to DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 If they reworked the verses then I think Steve Bloomers Watching would be a very good song. The chorus is good but if you listen to the song as a whole the verse always came across a bit rubbish (and over produced to hide it). Probably just needs the chorus slowing down a bit. Also what happened to Since I Was Young? Thought it was one of the better chants we had in recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Must admit, I'm amazed (and disappointed!) that our #"Frank Lampard's Barmy Army" (Repeat...) didn't immediately come out as #"Frank Lampard's Derby County" (Repeat). I'd have put good money on that fast becoming the norm... under the circ's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through our glory years I can't recall it and to me it has no emotional link to DCFC. To be honest, I think what potentially happened was that once Lionel Pickering sold the club we became a run of the mill ‘modern’ club with a fancy new stadium and owners who had no connection to the city. Steve Bloomers Watching in that time came the only bit if heritage that bridged the old with the new. So it continued to blast out of the speakers, be sung at away grounds and came part of Derby County. So that’s why I think it became a thing, is that in that noughties era there wasn’t much else that linked that ‘modern’ club with its past.

DCFC27 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I mean if we did get rid of it... what do we replace it with? Do we bounce? or shall we chant since I was young and get that over the speakers too? There does need to be more done for the atmosphere at PP I'm not sure that changing this would be the answer... I just think we need to win more games and reduce the prices for the smaller games vs Hull for example. Prime example last year we reduced the price to £10 for the Cardiff game and the stadium was near enough full and the atmosphere was electric, we talk about Snowgate etc but we wouldn't have had that atmosphere without playing well and attracting more fans away from Sky to come to the game. I genuinely think if they started charging £10-£20 for all of the home midweek games we could improve the atmosphere, its too easy for fans to just watch it at home or the pub now... clubs have got to be more competitive to encourage fans to get back into the stands.

PrivateDerby Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I like SBW, it's the track itself that isn't well suited to 25,000+ fans trying to clap and sing along. When it gets going at away matches it sounds good and feels like ours. I'd only change it for the Dambusters or The Derby Ram but think it'd be a shame... update it maybe and throw some other club legends in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I love The Derby Ram, the more original grim version especially, but it would be WOEFUL as a pre-game club anthem. It's hard to imagine a song that would sound worse being sung out of time by 25,000 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
