It's pathetic lately, the away games are just the same. however it still winds me up that if you go into a pub wherever we're playing a hour before kick off and our songbook is superb! Yet go to the game and it's oh when the reds! We've got bread Alouette Bury me under the boothen Plus songs for players.... Bego has one, so as wilko, huth, Ryan, pennant, kenwynne, arnie, etc etc Is our songbook really superb in the pub beforehand? I'd have to disagree with that, as to me it's the same old 2 or 3 songs sung over and over again. As for these players songs you mention, how many of these have more than about 3 or 4 different words? It is not just our poor selection of songs that is the problem, it is the simple fact that the ones who make the most amount of noise traditionally are the young lads aged between 16-30 (ish) with dutch courage who unfortunately are being priced out of the game.

I've always wondered why someone hasn't come up with a Rule Britannia song.
Here's a pathetic starter...
Rule Britannia City are the best We couldn't give tuppence (a fcuk) For all the rest
Rule Britannia Shout it loud and clear Then off to Delilah's To have some beer!
repeat, repeat. ...................................
A couple of the old one's I used to enjoy were...
Land of Smoke and Glory Home of Stoke FC Higher, higher and higher On to Victory!
.......................................
We all live at the back of Boothen End The back of Boothen End The back of Boothen End We all live at the back of Boothen End The back of Boothen End The back of Boothen End repeat, repeat, repeat, on and on.
To the tune of the Beatles, Yellow Submarine.
...........................................

"Sending out an S.O.S. We've got Brek Shea in Our closet..." etc.

My missus came with me to the Man United game last week. She has not been for about 3 seasons and the first thing she said to me was "where have all the funny songs gone?" She commented on the fact the manure never stopped singing all through the game. Part of the experience in the early years of the prem was the atmosphere and funny songs we came up with. I've seen the Brit crowd turn a game when it's up for it and even get players sent off. I think it's a combination of too many seasons of dire football with a lack of goals to celebrate and also the fact that a lot of the people that go now are not true fans and have jumped onto the glory wagon and do not know the songs! I sit in block 11 and hardly anybody sings this side of the ground. For the crowd to get vocal again they need something to cheer whether it be goals or a villian to aim at!
Brit has been flat now for at least 3 seasons.

Brit has been flat now for at least 3 seasons. I remember some Middlesbrough supporter coming on here when we were crowing about the bearpit in the first season. He said it wouldnt last when the novelty of the premier league wore off. Obviously he was dismissed as delusional but he's been proved right. Tony's brand of attritional football squeezed the joy out of matchdays and the uninspiring appointment of Hughes (when some people were talking about Benitez ffs) have combined to kill the atmosphere. We now just sit on our hands until we take the lead and then start singing 'It's all gone quiet over there' to whichever set of supporters have outsung us up to that point.

I seem to remember a few sets of fans saying that our novelty would wear off. We used to have some V charismatic players to cheer about & it was hilarious. We had our hearts broken a few to many times & it's not the same. We need a new love & champion...
