Asha Posted 26 November 2008 Posted 26 November 2008 Scun thorpe don't play any music, so why do we? The away goal celebrations this year have been fantastic. It is almost getting to the stage that I wish we didn't score, so we don't have the pathetic crap ruin our celebrations and make us look a joke in the process. They do as it happens, when they scored they played 'We will rock you'.
Raj Posted 26 November 2008 Posted 26 November 2008 its an absolute embarrsment it really is, everyone around me just stands like normal as soon as the music comes on, it just kills the whole moment. The ONLY goal ive properly celebrated this season was the winner against Bristol Rovers. Whereas every away goal has been mass pile ons, crushing eachother and last about a minute.Every visiting team mock it and I just feel so embarrased I'd actually prefer It if we didn't score. Stupid cu nting music, I'd love to tie up the tw at who presses play BUT deep down they REALLY want to join in and do it!!!!

That pitch invasion had me in stitches. There's nothing better than getting topless for a goal celebration. I feel that unless some very definite protest is made, this Dagwank crap will be allowed to carry on. Something as simple as all fans holding up an A4 piece of paper saying 'No to Goal Music' instead of celebrating when it comes on may be what it takes for the club to listen to the fans on this issue. At the moment it's a complete embarrassment, what must away fans think of us dancing like monkeys every time a goal goes in? However, although we may look like douchebags if we stop celebrating whenever that absolute gash is blasted out of the tannoy, I think that some kind of physical protest by all the fans opposed to Goal Music may be the only way to eradicate this evil from Filbert Way.

Exactly. Everyone seems to hate it but is very defeatist about it. Something like moving the kop is very unlikely to happen but getting rid of chelsea dagger is a pretty minor change that the club would probably do if they thought there a lot of geniune opposition to it. I know I'm not alone in having written to the club about it but when there's 50 odd people that have done that and 20,000 seemingly bouncing around to it we just look like some sad old bastards stuck in the dark ages. A banner, a chant, anything that shows a lot of fans think its shithouse and not just a few traditionalist old boys (not that there's anything wrong with being a traditionalist old boy.)
Daggers Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 I'd love to tie up the tw at who presses play You need to be taking this pervy talk to some place more appropriate, like www.kinkychat.co.uk
James. Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 My Dad went to the Crewe game and said he really enjoyed having a little dance whe the goals went in. He's 65 and doesn't get a chance to bounce up and down to music very often. Some older chap in front of him was particularly loving it as well apparently.
James. Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 I actually think some people take it far too seriously. Not celebrating home goals? That's a bit pathetic in my opinion. Without any form of organised, mass protest it is probably here to stay in one form or another. And I don't think there will ever be a mass protest as not enough people are THAT bothered by it. Some, like my example above, actually ENJOY it. I think it's time for some to get over themselves and the music. (for the record I'm not a fan of goal music either)
Vestan Pance Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 I don't know if the club have considered that they might actually be alienating people with 'Chelsea Dagger'? I've got quite a few mates who say they won't come back to games until it stops. I suppose it's an age thing, I don't see why some of us who have been supporting City for years on end should have this forced on us, but our opinion doesn't seem to matter as everything seems to be aimed at 'Families and Kiddies' now, even though it's my age group who pay the highest entrance fees.
carterfox90 Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 When we scored our second yesterday, the crewe fans joined in with the celebratory chelsea dagger dance they danced to both our goals i was laughing so much fair play to them true footy fans who came just to see the game & have fun well done the crewe fans
RowlattsFox Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 Chelsea Dagger seems to be a lot worse this season, probably due to the half empty ground. I would never stop celebrating a goal though because of goal music, you don't need to do the Chelsea Dagger Dance to celebrate.
James. Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 I've got quite a few mates who say they won't come back to games until it stops. Bloody hell I thought not celebrating a goal was pathetic but THAT... well.
Simi Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 I think it's time for some to get over themselves and the music. I don't. Why quit trying to get something to stop that you don't like? I know I wont. Home goals mean **** all to me as soon as that music comes on. If I wanted to dance like a mug to a shit song I'd go to a concert. If I wanted to look like a mug at a football ground I'd go to Cov. I think people should carry on not celebrating to Chelsea Dagger, it is a joke and makes a club look a joke.
James. Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 Why quit trying to get something to stop that you don't like? I know I wont. How is not celebrating a goal going to stop anything?
C-man Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 I don't.Why quit trying to get something to stop that you don't like? I know I wont. Home goals mean **** all to me as soon as that music comes on. If I wanted to dance like a mug to a shit song I'd go to a concert. If I wanted to look like a mug at a football ground I'd go to Cov. I think people should carry on not celebrating to Chelsea Dagger, it is a joke and makes a club look a joke. I agree, but not celebrating isn't going to make one bit of difference, the person who presses play isn't going to stop pressing play because people in the ground aren't celebrating. Maybe taking an A4 piece of paper with 'NO GOAL MUSIC' on it would actually work if you celebrated until the music comes on, and then held that up. It wouldn't be an instant fix, but you'd get more people involved with every home game until they did something about it.
Simi Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 How is not celebrating a goal going to stop anything? Didn't mean to be so broad in my reply, for me, not celebrating when Chelsea Dagger comes on is now natural for me and the others around me. I know stopping dancing to it won't change it, but I am continuing to speak to people at the club about it, better than doing **** all I think.
Vestan Pance Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 Bloody hell I thought not celebrating a goal was pathetic but THAT... well. Or maybe the clubs failure to understand their audience? The attendance figures are hardly rising are they? We had none of this 15 years ago when the attendances were similar. On one hand the club will tell you they want a great atmosphere trying to aid results and then will tell you in the same breath that they want a family atmosphere, guess what? You can't have both.

I know stopping dancing to it won't change it, but I am continuing to speak to people at the club about it, better than doing **** all I think. If you have the time and motivation to pursue this with the club then fair play. As I said I'm not a fan but the bottom line is I'm not that bothered by it (I only go to 5-10 home games per season) and know many people who either feel the same or enjoy it. The apathetic and supporters of goal music are going to be a very hard group to overcome. Probably impossible, hence my first few posts in here... Or maybe the clubs failure to understand their audience? Understand thier audience? 20,000 people jumping up and down to Chelsea Dagger when we score makes it pretty easy for them to understand... The point is as far as I can see it's a minority that don't want it. Therein lies the problem.
Daggers Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 Enough is enough - I've decided to start protesting too. Until the club stop playing CD I am personally going to stop having sex with the wives of Raj, Singh and Kilworth's girlfriend. You see that City, you've started a war you won't believe!

Can see why you'd think that, I just didn't take to kindly to the line of saying people should get overthemselves and the music.
Daggers Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 Also, I plan to dance to it ironically. That'll really stick it to the club.

The point is as far as I can see it's a minority that don't want it. Therein lies the problem. I agree with what you're saying, but from what I've seen recently less and less people are dancing to it. On Tuesday night nobody around me in the Kop did and it looked like nobody in L1 did. Though I don't know whether people are sick of goal music altogether or whether the novelty of that ridiculous dance has just worn off. Perhaps the apathetic fans have become apathetic to Chelsea Dagger.
Kilworthfox Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 STOP talking about the naffing goals music! The vast majority hate it, however they dance like mugs to it because a LCFC goal has just gone in, what does anyone expect people are going to do? "We" have stopped celebrating the home goals up the top of L1 as "we" hate the music, but i still see the majority of L1 dancing to it because they are happy at the time. Unless a "serious protest" is organised then we should shut up about this as it's boring now. I will happily help or organise a protest, however if the protest is not supported by the majority then there is no point. The utopia for fans who are at ends with any club is to form a group like the ultras on the continent, the problem is Leicester fans are on the whole terrible for being bothered about their club and wanting to make a difference to something they care about. Speaking for myself, I am so very disillusioned I said to Tommeh vs Crewe, "I wonder if my St is worth anything". "We" feel so let down with modern football and the lack of entertainment that it offers that we will be leaving next year if the enjoyment is not there, promotion or not, cups or whatever success or not, because when all is said and done if you don't enjoy something your not going to pay your money and give your time are you?!
James. Posted 27 November 2008 Posted 27 November 2008 Can see why you'd think that, I just didn't take to kindly to the line of saying people should get overthemselves and the music. It was early and my work colleagues are being made redundant around me (literally, my team is now 3 compared to over 10 a few weeks ago) so I was in a bad mood! At least it provoked a reaction and got a bit of debate going which was the intention in the first place... Perhaps the apathetic fans have become apathetic to Chelsea Dagger. Fair point actually. Kind of disagrees to what my Dad said, he seemed to think everyone was dancing to it, even the Crewe fans.

Do you really want away fans, in this case a team who are bottom of the league, taking the piss out of us when WE score? Fcuking hell! Remember at Filbert St when we had the away fans penned up in the corner of the East Stand? Now look at them. Dancing when WE score. Mental.... Oh, and we've NEVER had 20K dancing to CD. Ever. We barely get 20,000 through the gates at the moment.
