As someone else said, why does everything have to be 'for the kids' thesedays?! I'm pretty confident that playing Ring of Fire just before ko isn't going to be the deciding factor in any child's decision to keep attending or not...

Yeah it's harmless fun , but I think it just sounds lame, I hate the faux-atmosphere nature of it all. Such is football these days though, I guess. Everything is so happy-clappy (up and down the country, not just the Amex)

Americanised faux is not to be sniffed at as a very dear friend once said . Whoooooosh

As an old school type I thought it was cringeworthy when it started but I`m use to it now and more people seem to like it than dislike.
Anything that generates an atmosphere can`t be a bad thing can it?

Because that’s maybe a bit tinpot as well....? Great to hear though that Stand or Fall has pretty much taken over from ‘win the cup’ now too.

That is a really good thing. I assume it is because they think enough people know the words now for it not to be needed.

I hope there is no backsliding now to GUTWTC from the infinitely better TTATWSOF.

Hmm, whilst us NSC superfans know it, there seems to be a lot of people near me that only join in once we get to the chorus. Though YES, stand or fall is now definitely winning thankfully.

its decent but just have it included in the fanzone section. The bit as the teams come out should be free for the fans to create their own atmosphere imo

I really like it and think it ramps the noise up on kick off. Would be really sorry to see it go.

It does tend to drown out the North Stand's inability to sing the same song in unison in the run up to kick off.

Were loose

The thing that kills the atmosphere is that god-damned awful premier league anthem, what a dirge

 

[Hungry Joe]

Fan Zone and Ring of Fire are pure shithouse.

This guy forgot to add shithouse to his shit repertoire
