The most cringeworthy part of the pre match build up for me is the “mighty mighty potters”🙄 You miserable sod you sound like my clone

At Doncaster Rovers a few seasons a go in the cup they played a bit of Bob Marley. Three little bird's. Everyone was singing to it, and knew most of the word's also......??? We could do with it being played at our place to steady the nerve's of all concerned.
Earlier poster mentioned the fucking prick what keep's shouting Mighty, mighty Potter's. The fucking prick need's a MIGHTY, MIGHTY SMACK IN HIS MIGHTY, MIGHTY FUCKING ANNOYING PIE HOLE.

Should go back to having the normal version of We'll be with you. That was great.
Delilah doesn't work because they play too much of it and not enough join in.
Still, could be worse. Remember the League 1 (division 2) days in the late 90s/early 2000s with the awful dalek voice doing the countdown? That was terrible.

Nothing is more cringeworthy than a grown bloke shouting you mighty mighty potters..... Delilah would work perfect if it was one verse then they cut it off however they over kill it Last season whilst we were getting thrashed every week my 10 year old said ruefully “dad, he will be saying mighty mighty potters if we were in the national League” “Yes son” Going to submit this to the 'Did Not Happen of the Year Awards' Twitter account.

Now we don't have to play that shitty Premier League Anthem can we ditch the abysmally edited version of We'll be with you that we come out to in favour of the original version? It's just so symptomatic of the lack of attention to detail in the club that no-one has noticed it. It's little things like this that really wind me up. Yes I'm a sad bastard. At least we've binned Pharrel sodding Williams. Whoevers edited it has done a pretty poor job of it....the skip is so profound that even the away support probably notice it!!!

The pre-match Delilah to give the effect of a bear pit atmosphere, without hardly anyone singing along is pathetic. It’s like something you’d see in North Korea.

The pre-match should be done in total silence. Then they'd see how loud we can get. Fucking idiots.

I may be getting a bit old but isn't the tannoy a bit too loud It certainly is, you’re right. I refuse to go anywhere near it, I stay in the concourse until they switch it off. Harrumph!!

We need to come out to something really menacing, certainly not including anything rap tho.

I've got a great idea to get the fans going. Start playing well and winning games.
Tried and tested formula, works a treat.

We don't 'hurragh' the players anymore when their names are read out, why?

Fair point, I think things have definitively gone stale. The Boothen Enders seem to get to their respective seats later than they did a few seasons ago when the Premier League razzmatazz was at its peak, or am just perceiving this incorrectly?

I don't see why we can't have a bit of Bob Dylan.
It would make us look like deep thinkers rather than just trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator !

The worst bit for me is that 'Go'arn Stoke' that keeps flashing up on the advertising hoardings, properly naff is that.

It's funny but I thought it was shit on the day it was released and I still think it's shit. It's the City da da da City da da da bit absolute pop music from the 70's. I suppose you had to be there to realise just how bad it was. CRINGE This was what we listened to

Could we all just keep ourselves to ourselves and have little sing song if we feel jolly enough. Anybody would think we are attending a football match where the announcer and media teams job is to get the fans pumped up and upbeat about the upcoming match. I miss the days when we’d hum Mozart and two step around the concourse.
(I agree with what some of you are saying abit the not so good editing to be fair)

It seems my opinion may not be very popular but I don’t like ‘we’ll be with you’ at all. It’s incredibly dated and quite camp. I’d rather there was no music and just let the crowd get it going. Save the Delilah for a big game where it suits the atmosphere.
And that go’arn Stoke on the advertising is embarrassing too.

Opening half minute of ELP "Fanfare for the Common Man" followed by a homemade Delilah.

This really needs sorting soon because the current pre-kickoff arrangement just isn't working at all and is actually encouraging the subdued atmosphere. Delilah goes on for far too long and nobody joins in, and not having the teams announced after they've ran out is just weird. The formula should be so simple:
- Players walk out to We'll Be With You, which we always join in with - Both team line-ups are announced, away team first, so we can boo their fuckers and actually show appreciation to our own and show warm welcomes to new signings/players returning from injury etc. - Delilah can and will be sung without needing it to be forced upon us. Save it for after goals and those moments where it belongs, and stop trying to force it to be You'll Never Walk Alone.
Please sort it out, Stoke!
