ossieram Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I'll have a word with the lads in D block at the Cambridge match and let them know that people aren't happy with their chants and until someone comes up with better one's, we should sit and watch the match. I'm sure it won't be long until all you good folk that aren't happy, pick up the slack and show us where we are going wrong. trappatoni, jimtastic56, Tamworthram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When at the BBG, a bit like Florest now, the whole ground would be up at times. Obviously the football is pretty crap, but Pride Park has never had all four sides going, except perhaps Southampton at play off semi, taking us to the new Wembley for first time I fear us old uns may have a selective memory when it comes to the BBG. Yes, there were some great atmospheres but I’m not convinced all four sides got involved on a regular basis especially in the dark days of the last time we were in the 3rd tier. I suspect, it could be just as flat as PP at times. I also don’t think PP has “always been flat to a point”. You have given one example (Southampton), what about the Brighton play off game? I know that’s only two examples but I’m pretty sure there have been plenty more. As others have said, the atmosphere is often dependent on the football we are watching, the results and the opposition supporters. Hence why the atmosphere at the City Ground is good at the moment. I wonder what is was like when they were struggling in the Championship or in league 1? VulcanRam, angieram and DavesaRam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont actually think the atmosphere is too bad but I am in the South Stand. There's a few songs that aren't great - Spirit in the Sky is just a dirge and Collins' do wah diddy is never getting popular but I'm not going to knock anyone that sings just 'cause I think the song isnt the best.

B4ev6is Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Hey guys I think we need new singing section.

The reason there is such a focus on that area in the East Stand is because a small number of people complained to the club and further. This has placed external scrutiny on the Club, who now have to be very careful. (Obviously no-one has been complaining at Bolton, or other grounds we have visited recently. ) Anyway, the obvious area is therefore the North-West corner of North Stand, away from the family area. And the acoustics up there at the back are excellent. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanchope sent off and Jonathan Hunt scored if I remember correctly. Atmosphere was electric. Derby fans are at their best when there is a sense of injustice-see relegation / administration year.

Think he lashed out at Andy Townsend who made a meal of it, remember being on his case all game from that point. Think we even came from behind. Bald Eagles barmy Army ringing out from all 4 stands for about 15-20 mins closing out the game, Russell Hoult waving his arms to the crowd geeing them up to sing even louder. Amazing day.

I remember Paul Williams getting a hammering when we beat Southampton 4-0. Strachan on match of the day saying he subbed him as the crowd had made him lose his head. The best atmosphere i remember was the 4-2 win against Forest where it was evident the loser was probably for the relegation chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there was a dispute from them about a throw in or something as well which led to one of our goals. Bunch of cheats. The warning signs were there as to what a set of tossers they were. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also love the 21 points song but we changed it to “stuff”, I get it though with that song. The best one in recent years we all got behind was Since I was young. Loved the winnall and Osula chants, even the Wanchope and Baiano chants back in the day. The Mendez-Laing and Cashin chants would be quality if they didn’t mention genitalia. But even put the chants to one side the club can do more pre game than they do. Jump and bounce is good. Totally agree pre-game - its dire jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is virtually nothing to cheer or get excited about. If we were consistantly playing good exciting atacking football the crowd noise would be fantastic. Under Rooney the fans were excellent as they could see the effort and desire was there but at the moment it’s just Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new singing area in the North stand could be called the “Greggs End”. Or simply the G spot . But some fans may not be able to find it.
