Ring of Fire,

We sang a few but our support wasn't great yesterday.

Tinpot
Some alternate lyrics (flame on 
):
Hate is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
We made Bill, a ring of fire
Bill fell in the burning ring of fire,
Bill went down, down, down as the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of hate is sweet,
When you burn a f**kin cheat
Oh, how the Albion smiled
When Bill Archer's fire went wild
Bill fell in the burning ring of fire,
Bill went down, down, down as the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
):Hate is a burning thing

The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

Hilarious.
We have 2 threads complaining of Albion fans not singing the same song together, or not creating an atmosphere. We have a song everyone joins in, but it's 'tinpot'.
3 threads on NSC sum up why we can't get an atmosphere going.
It isn't seating positions, pricing, NSK, Paul Barber etc. et al. to blame. It's us. Too many precious types, what's cool, what isn't, what's old, what's new, what's tinpot, what's this, what's that.
I couldn't give a shit whether ring of fire is 'cool' or not, I joined in because it got the atmosphere going. All these consultations about atmosphere are a waste of time if people are just not prepared to swallow whatever perceived self conscious pride they have and join in whatever else is being started. Barber and the club can't help with that - it's in our corner...

Two things for me.
1). It works better when loads do it together = away games
2). When it's flipping cold I'm not taking my scarf off!!
It was great at Fulham, I think it's an away song.

Exactly! If we still had the Thumbs Up button I'd be hitting it repeatedly.
Like it or not its an easy song to sing and anyone who was at either the Fulham or Charlton games you'd have seen how catchy it is and how many people joined in. Obviously the club has noticed as well and fair play to them for playing Ring of Fire before the game as we'll in an attempt to get the crowd going. I also noticed that that the stewards in the North Stand didn't go through their normal routine of asking people to sit down half way through the first half so maybe things are slowly changing.

Personally I don't care if they sing something to "Mary, Mary quite contrary" as long as it gets the Amex jumping. However much it brings bile to my throat and it really does, if we could generate half the noise those fkers in croydon make it would be worth ten points a season to us at home.

Agree with that. Fulham was a great night. Seems to me we have the genuine fans at away games. Lots of noise at those games.

O
Perfectly put. Can't everyone focus on having fun & supporting the team rather than being self- conscious?
It wasn't contrived at Fulham away, it was spontaneous and a laugh......and it helped the team to 3 vital points.
Those of us old enough to have been in the old North Stand need to show the way. Don't forget there are a couple of generations that don't know what it was like on the terraces and pre Taylor Report. Gillingham & Withdean could never compensate.
I bet there's plenty of teenage fans and early 20 somethings who would literally jump at recreating that type of atmosphere again if given the chance.
