I hope our fans don't start....

It's embarrasing that nearly every song that "catches on" in the football leagues is copied from United or Liverpool.

 

Also, I will stop supporting Saints if we do the Poznan.

 

That's a bit extreme, just for the record I don't like it over, it's "the Poznan" for a reason, it's theirs, leave it be.

I agree, but I bet we won't be able to avoid any of this catching on next season:

 

- Sloop John B (for everything, in various guises)

- "I Just Can't Get Enough"

- "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

- Heartbeat theme tune

 

And any other 80's song that has resurfaced over the past season. It's gonna happen, just got to decide the lyrics :(

I was impressed by the noise Stevenage were making the other night particularly a tune they did which was very repetitive consisting mostly of la la la la (or summat like that). Much better than turning your back on the team, linking arms and bouncing up and down!

It works when Lech Poznan do it, but it would be incredibly naff at most English grounds when they're half empty. If were going to 'do the Poznan' maybe we should start taking 5,000 ultras to our under 12 games.

 

Personally I'd be happy if we could just stop singing Pompey fan on a string which seems to be sung exclusively by pwopa nawty 12 year olds who think they're 'ard. Although if I had to suggest an 80s song to bring back, I'm sure we'd all like a quick sing along to 'wake me up before you go go'.

How often is that ever sung these days?

This?

I don't mind the Poznan, something a bit different anyway. Would rather that than music after we scored

Even that was s**t as well. Just another meaningless copy from another club/country, that said nothing about Stevenage as a club, their history, their players etc.

 

The reason so many songs are copied from Man Utd and Liverpool are they're two of the only clubs that come up with decent, original songs, still makes me cringe though that we now seem to carbon copy every single United song.

that was ok for a bit but went on far to long!

trying to work out why they had a flag with a smiley face on & another by it had "ACID" on it?

Do you mean 'Heartbeat' by Buddy Holly from 1958?

The "poznan" is utter b0ll0cks. Player scores,and the crowd turn their back and celebrate,what sort of f^ckwit came up with that ? City might enjoy it but hope it does not catch on at Saints.

"sloop John B" is a bit tedious being recycled for everything.Not heard the other three at Saints though.

No I'm still singing;

 

Oh Stevenage

Is wonderful

Oh Stevenage is wonderful

It's full of tits, fanny and boro

Oh Stevenage is wonderful

God forbid there be an atmosphere at games.

 

We should definitely just stick with the following:

 

Do do do do Do do do do

He plays on the left...... etc etc

Other such rehashes I can't be bothered to type.

 

The only good songs we have are Rickie's song and Fonte's song. And even Rickie's isn't original and Fonte's is pretty basic and dull.

 

I love the Poznan. But it has to be done properly. City don't quite have it, but at least they're trying. It would look great if a whole stand did it.

But who cares about that when we can hit the backboards and sing 'Oh when the Saints' all out of time.....

Agree that some more imaginative songs would be welcome. Don't agree with you about the poznan crap though;when Saints score its euphoria time,and part of that is the spectacle of the teams response when they and the fans can go berserk - "together as one" . I'd rather see Guly,Lambert or Barnards celebration rather than turn away from the pitch to see the back end of some hairy arsed bastard with jeans that start slipping down as he and his row start jumping around,at about face height to my row...

.... Doing the Lech Poznan goal celebration which Man City fans have adopted so well. I see Swansea fans are doing it tonight poorly and Celtic done it at the weekend.

 

I love it and will do it on my own if necessary.

I think it's an odd song... and I'm not really sure what to make of it.

 

On one hand I think it seems a bit disrespectful turning your back on team and what is happening on the pitch as turning your back is usually associated with protests and dismay against a club, but on the other hand and as Celtic displayed, in numbers and in rhythm it can look... and struggling to find a suitable word here... so will say, quite a visual spectacle.

 

So, for the want of continuing to see what is happening on our pitch (don't want to be frowned upon for not joining in!), and that I can't see we would have the same visual impact in numbers, I would prefer to see it stay with Celtic, Man City... and now Swansea who seem to be the domestic clubs who have adopted it.

 

As others have already said, would much rather we came up with something of our own.

 

(Maybe OWTSGMI will become our own again one day as we hopefully continue back up through the leagues... I'm sick of hearing other clubs sing their own renditions our song... I don't recall these before we dropped out of the top flight.)

It's a shame we haven't found suitable lyrics for 'The Saints are Coming'

 

It's a great, repetitve song, and would be unique to us

 

Agreed.

 

Mind you I'm still sorry we never picked up on "the wheels on the bus go round and round" in honour of Nigel, which is the ideal foootball song: repetitive, unique, simple --and most importantly, totally baffling to the opposition fans.
