Dillonlcfc Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Is it just me or is this chant over used? Even our away atmosphere has been pretty bad on some occasions although I think that's because not everyone stands up (Kids and elderly people) which I understand, but why not let them have a section. To the point Palace used it the best in my opinion, with the hands in the air, going woah... for a few seconds then loudly into the chant and they only sung it after a goal (They were all standing). I'll be going to Blackpool and hope we can sing this well then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Year Of The Fox Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 I'm well happy the novelty has worn off. Just over a year after we invented it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_LCFC Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 The use of it has been massively reduced this season, particularly at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voll Blau Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Glad it's not used so much, makes us looks pretty tinpot. We have so many songs which are ours and ours alone that we should sing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what? Leicester,Leicester,Leicester every 5 mins. Anything different, (im not saying original) Is never a bad thing and anything to improve atmosphere is always welcomed.

Kitchandro Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 It was overused last season, but that's because nobody was singing anything else and we were desperate. We needed to use it as a springboard for the many other songs we sang at a decent volume once upon a time, it didn't work out though. There's nothing wrong with singing it but once or twice a game should suffice, there's plenty of other songs that should also be aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettsj2 Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 All I know is, Cardiff at home last year, it was sung every few minutes and the atmosphere in the stadium was actually excellent. People started slating it, people stopped singing it, now there's hardly any singing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promised land Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 I am glad as all those pesky kids twirling their scarfs around, I nearly lost the cup to my flask at one game as one kid swiped it straight out of my hand as he spun his filbert fox scarf, nice hot coffee went all over my tartan blanket that night. I wasn't best pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Give me a H? - Don't think that ever really had lyrics did it? Anyway, I can't say I'm that bothered it's going, crack out the more club specific chants like "never known a team like you" rather than copying the chants you can find for 10 a penny around the country.

Dan LCFC Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 I'm not too disappointed to see it toned down if I'm honest, it seemed to get the whole ground going for a few games but the novelty died off and every time its sung now, it's completely half-hearted and quite frankly shit.

People started slating it, people stopped singing it, now there's hardly any singing again. For a certain period it did improve the atmosphere a lot. But after a while, people got fed up with it because we were singing it far too much, and with very few other songs to fall back on, it made the atmosphere worse. Towards the back end of last season even I started to forget what songs we used to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, it was classic overkill. At first it was passionate and enjoyable, but we did it so much that it stopped being sung with the same gusto. Variety is the spice of life.
