I think people are making too much of this, it's just a bit of fun. What would fans prefer from 2.57 - 3.00? The key issue is crowd noise during the game, not one song before it.

Because it's so much better to stand in silence having finished der der der sussexbytsea 10 minutes earlier than the music like we did in the first three seasons.

Tinpot imo, I'd rather we created our own atmosphere...or not tbh
Lost at home..again? I know let's start a thread moaning about the atmosphere.
FFS..its been a shite season, we are16th in the league, still in danger of relegation and, apart from 15 minutes before half time, unable to put two passes together.
The grounds not going to be a cauldron of noise and passion, is it?

Where have I moaned about the atmosphere? I was moaning about loud Shit music DROWNING OUT what was quite a good pre match atmosphere ( even if most of it was coming from the Norwich fans) . One step from goal music imo

'kin hate it.

Away it works...WHEN/IF YOU'RE WINNING.

Even worse is that Euro-Pop remix shite instead of the original

Obviously not at Fulham away then

What does the score line have to do with making any noise - is it the equivilent of glory hunt supporting of the top teams that are winning everything? - only join in when doing well?

Sorry, absolutely no idea what that means, I was at Fulham though.

Build up music Hey Jude blah de blah right up until teams come out (and I mean RIGHT up until). Timing can't be that difficult.

SBtS WITH lyrics

NO Ring of Fire

Win 2 - 0

But when do our fans actually start to sing ? - Surely only winning 2-0 isn't enough to motivate us ..blah, blah, blah...the teams performances need to good enough to earn our fans singing at them / having songs sung about our players, etc and to keep winning 2-0 is boring and just isn't good enough for us to sing ...blah, blah, blah.........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It's nothing to do with commercialisation, whats played in the build up to the game, or any other lame excuse ,etc...... so why don't our fans just sing if they want to, and if they don't they don't feel like it without people making an issue out of it?

Can't argue with logic like that

The singing was loud and ring of fire was sung for a long time before kick off. The team heard it in the dressing room BEFORE the game started, and it gave them a lift and showed them that the fans were with the players and we had a great performance from them.

Should we have waited until we were winning before singing something like Ring of fire as you said in your post? - if we had, would the score and performance been as good?

Must be my old age senility but I recall the Johnny Cash classic starting once we were winning. Similar Brentford and Charlton.

Well if you look at the 28,790 thread and the comments of the lack of atmosphere etc, and now the whinging and stupid poll on this thread.
Lets face it our home support, although being the biggest is vocally crap.
Whining about this chant and that chant, slating the away support for being crap, it is embarrassing .
No wonder the away sides and supporters see us as easy pickings.
Just sing and make some noise, get behind the team instead of dissecting every chant or song, it is pitiful.......and makes US tinpot.
