.......... Need work. While our away Delilahs are superb, the home ones could be loads better. Dead loud yes, but completely out of synch most of the time. It's down to the fact that all four sides of the ground are joining in them, meaning that they are completely out of synch. From my seat (Block 31) I actually hear 3 delilahs, one from the boothen, the one I'm singing (with the John Smiths in time with us) and one from South stand. It doesn't sound as impressive as it should.
I think I know why though. Back in the day, when TJ used to start them off, a Delilah would be preceeded by a chorus of TJ, TJ, TJ! Then, once he stood up, a chorus of SSHHHHH! would quieten everybody in the ground down and prepare them for the impending Delilah. Then, and probably the most important bit for synchronisation, after TJ sang the "At break of Day" line, the Whoooooaah would be accompanied by the lads closest to TJ raising their arms. This was repeated for the "I crossed the Street" Line with hands being raised with the Whoooooooah again! The arm raising enabled Stokies in other parts of the ground to synchronise their "She stood There Laughing" and the rest of anthem.
If we can synchronise 40,000 Stokies at Wembley, then we should be able to do it with 25,000 at the Brit.
Plus we've got to get it right for March and our Carling Cup Final Wembley appearance haven't we.
Any thoughts lads?

Benno is the one who starts them in the boothen.
The problem is when the SSSSHHHHH goes around some sections think they can start it and then it goes out of sync.
Like you say just let one person start it then and only then will we do it justice.

It seems like there a few wannabe TJ's in various areas of the ground, and it is cocking the Delilahs up.
IMHO the Delilahs should be started by the lads up in the corner (is that where Benno sits stands?) And then if we do the Shushes, and the arm raising, and nobody jumps the gun we can deffo make the Delilahs even more impressive than they already are.
Is this the start of a campaign?

block 25 should start it as the whole ground can see up there to get ready for it.

if TJ is bloke 23/22 about row 26/27 then its still him that does it, and you can see a fair few people round with arms up and shhh'ing in advance, but against hull, the second (or third?) delilah, the corner started the "she stood there laughing" after the first whoaaa, totally fucked it up

Block 19 are utter pants at Delilah I don't know how they can physically do it theat quick! I assume they miss a few words out?
Sitting in block 21 I join in with the block 25ers but stop half way through as the block 19 speed singers are racing on and wrecking what would have been a good un

Yep the guy in Block 22 is Benno - when its him that stands up and starts em off they turn out best. And everyone round us (I sit Block 23) does send the SHHHH round, but doesn't really spread much further. And yes the corner started the last one against Hull after the first WOOOAAAHHH, listen in future lads  And after many appeals, even in the oatcake itself, for the block 19 lads and lasses to slow the fck down when singing Delilah, they still manage to speed up and finish about 2 lines before everyone else. When I'm joining in its really off putting having those in Block 19 2 lines ahead, throws you off track a bit. It inner a race lads!!! |

We should ask the club if they can open the Brit one day in the week and we can all go along for choir practice. ;D

uk.youtube.com/watch?v=oSw5O4jR0FUthis is what we need it like! i sit in block 19 and im 20 so you'd probablythink id be classed as one of them who try and rap delilah, but, it makes me cringe when they sing it like its a f**king race. im the one who trys to get "oh, when the reds" going without the stupid clapping that speeds it up. id really like it if we could sing the delilah from this link as slower ones give such a better atmosphere imo
