Do you start songs at football?

[Grapes of Wrath]

There might be some moans if you start a 'stand up if you hate palace' song...

That made me laugh. Sorry!

 

[Notters]

a bit OT but it really gets on my tits when there's a great atmosphere, but a miserable sod near me who's not singing.

I ramdomly remember starting one once when we played Birmingham in about 1989 & a couple of the blue noses wore fancy dress dressed up as women dancing around...
think we were two up & started the "youre not dancing anymore" ramdom memory from the goldstone...think i might put it on my cv as im proud of it hehe

 

[BHAryan]

I will start a few with my mates if the atmosphere is already good and if noones singing to try and get everyone going..i try to start off songs which arent 'albion' or 'gosbts'

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I'm in the family bit now so it'll all be good clean fun, I used to start a few at The Goldstone and at aways, i'd get pissed up and sing whatever came to mind, some would be good and funny and others would laugh and join in, some would be shite and would be met with tumbleweed and a funny look, but hey ho no one died, you need to remember though in the old days you didn't need to get permission to sing from the 'Ministry Of Singing' that you find on internet message boards these days

I hope Krispies has sorted himself a season ticket for the North stand. It'll be just like the 'good old days' (sort of).

twas happy days indeed......

Does occasionally shouting seagulls and then feeling absurdly pleased when it gets picked up and goes round the whole ground count?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'm certainly more oj a "joiner in-er"

my voice is far too middle class to be heard solo

It's nice that Noone's getting involved but surely he should be concentrating on playing?

Looks like some shy lads and lasses in the Lower West then.

Let's hope songs do get spread throughout the stadium.

Good thread.

Yup, strikes me that some on here are just too picky when it comes to songs. It discourages people from trying things, and we end up with the same old tired stuff. This is a new era - so we need new songs as well as the old, and loads of people getting involved. It will take a while for the culture to develop, but let's just get behind EVERYBODY who sings up for the Albion, eh?

And if you don't like the song, sing it anyway. Then come up with something better.

At the goldstone was starting songs when I was 16, ones of my faves was give me a B R I G, had to put on a deeper voice but people followed. Used to smuggle my air horn in the goldstone too and hidden in my scarf.
When at away games always try to start Seagulls when we get a corner.

I remember one game when some guy a few rows behind spent the whole game moaning about the song choice. After joined in with one song, then H block sang a second song, this guy started singing "one song, we've only got one song" (ironically the third song in short succession). He moaned they were singing too fast, sang his own version of a noone song because he didn't like the one H block was singing.

He wanted singing, he wanted noise and atmosphere, he just hated the choice of songs.

Years ago went to The Hawthorns and we had 2 songs on the go at once

1 banana 2 banana 3 banana 4 banana-sang 1 side
the other
always look on the bright side of life-sang the other

perhaps it was fitting as i remember it raining hard and we were losing 3-1 i think and probably looked right bananas but it sounded great-350 of us sounding like 3500 under the low roof

 

[Falkor]

i have never been to a brighton game, but when i used to go to West Ham i sometimes started them and sometimes joined in
