Match Thread Home game atmosphere (22 Viewers)

[Bigelvesy]

Of course it is, it's the fucking club anthem, replacinga beautifulone in Play Up Sky Blues. It's a dirty little smack head song sung by students. It's not a football song.

Fucking boomer

Funny ha ha or funny perculiar?

Hi mate… depends if I’m referring to the wife or not they all think they are comedians don’t they… but not nearly as funny as they think they are . Happy new year as well

One is from Birmingham and moved to Cov as a kid.

The word 'town' is used to describe any city centre. Even Londoners used to say they were going 'up town'.

Isn't only one of them actually a city fan?

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

We had amazing atmospheres as the team rose from the dark days of L2. Best in my lifetime. The Birmingham game in the play off final season was beyond great. The team and fans had fantastic momentum.

It’s not quite there as this team finds an identity.

But in terms of perspective I remember the L1 days on our way down with 6,000 odd at the Ricoh and feeling hopeless. The very fact that we’re even commenting on the noise made by 29,000 fans as a team 14th in the table - proves that this club is ultimately on the right path.

Yeah. Don't think the other two are arsed about football.

 

[peteCCFC]

Yeah. Don't think the other two are arsed about football.

It's like a social experiment for people with really dull lives. Same as the people that flash their phone lights at a concert. Fucking gimmick, never sung it and never will.

Up there with Tom Grennan levels of embarrassing.

As an older City fan I think live n die deffo has merit & adds to atmos.
Gets me out of the bar on time too.
Cmon the Eton boating song has had its own way for 60 years.
The old & new can live side by side.

Replacing 'Play Up Sky Blues' with that new trash is a bit like the time we tried to change our badge.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Although it’s good to have something of our own to sing before a game, The Enemy, and that song, have always been gash.

A much better alternative would be “A Message To You, Rudy”. Made in Cov and way cooler.

Heck, I’d even take “Love and Pride” by King over the fucking Enemy.

Respect your opinion.
Don't agree. Play Up Sky Blues will always be with us.

I'll raise you, 'Mouldy Old Dough'.

Would accept

No one is replacing it It just doesn't work well at home.

PUSB in an away end of 2000 is always brilliant

 

[Nuskyblue]

The football is shit TBH. Even when we start to get loud cos we’re attacking we invariably pass it back to the keeper and kill it.

This.

The football has become progressively more boring. The first two seasons after COVID was pretty good to watch (we also had loads of rousing comebacks early in the season) which generated a good atmosphere because we believed something could happen.

Now we just sort of keep the ball for ages with basically no sustained threat on the oppo goal.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I'll raise you, 'Mouldy Old Dough'.

I'll raise you with ' King, where are your people now' UB40 ( if the crowds disappear) Maybe not

 

[oscillatewildly]

It's good but let's not jump so far ahead just yet.
In the meantime let's just stick to singing about something that ironically, can't raise it's self.

 

[Captain Dart]

I'll raise you, 'Mouldy Old Dough'.

Don't forget 'I remember yohoo'

 

[skybluecam]

One thing I would say is there's a lot more audible frustration expressed at players now.

Even fairly early on yesterday defenders were getting moaned at for not playing the ball forward quick enough, even though it was 0-0 and there was plenty of time left. That was previously reserved for when we were losing late on.

I particularly remember Dovin having the ball in his hands and half the crowd calling for a quick throw out, which wasn't really on, but he did it anyway, we lost the ball and there was a huge groan.

There's definitely an entitlement/expectation from many fans that wasn't there previously.

No disrespect, but have you only just started supporting us? Players getting shit and crowds moaning and groaning has been going on for decades. Or does using the buzz word of entitlement just need to be done?

Yeah, created this account back in 2015 in anticipation of becoming a fan almost 10 years later.

Yeah it was like that, but our journey back up the leagues under Robins produced a great home atmosphere, now we've stalled and it's getting worse. And none of the players/manager have the good will in the bank to protect them.

Hardly been replaced. It’s been years since they stopped playing any rendition of that PUSB borefest pre match.

 

[Travs]

Fucking boomer

You would prefer to replace the sole unique song/anthem we have, and revert to songs we have copied from the 90 other clubs that generally all sing the same crap.....?

 

[oscillatewildly]

'Kinell, it's almost as if they've paid money up front to be entertained.

It’s not entitlement. It’s a lack of belief in these players and this manager. When we’re knocking it about in previous seasons we’ve seen that squad and that manager come back and think it can happen again. All we’ve seen from this squad is turgid shite football so when they start fanning about it taking six years to pass they don’t get the benefit of the doubt.

Well, during the Sisu years you could have had the Primitives and “Crash”

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

At least we can banish the myth that you can’t generate a good atmosphere at the Ricoh/CBS. It has been brilliant since we returned but fucking awful the last 12 months. As others have said, it feels like Robins has gone and taken the dream with him.

There’s a combination of factors that have led to this. Moving the away fans, poor results, poor performances (MVE, Sakamoto) top flair players leaving etc… the one I won’t accept is that we concede first. Thats saying you’ll only sing when you’re winning or drawing. The drummer wasn’t so bad when we were playing well.

If we had a couple more flair players or leaders, I dare say people would be writing more songs. It looks like we’ve got a couple of boring seasons ahead of us as I can’t see Austin bringing anyone that isn’t shit in.

Doug had no impact on the 2022-2023 season (other than an unproven claim from someone that struggles with the truth that SISU wanted to sell Gyokeres) and everything has gone backwards under him other than the club shop and training ground gym.

 

[Badge72]

In recent seasons the fans ‘pulled’ a team of underdogs into a new world. A whole load of expectancy and new season ticket holders came with it. Now we’re not at the level that most (and all the newbys) hoped and the mood has dropped.
At some point - hopefully- we’ll be at the expected levels and all will be as it was.
And we need a few new icons/ warriors to hang our hopes upon.

 

[quinn1971]

It’s hard to get an atmosphere going for 90 mins having to watch that,it Was boring negative football the whole game, but thats the quality of players we’ve got, just shows how bad Plymouth actually are,

Biggest cheer was when our RB flicked it over 2 of their players, pretty much summed up the game, who’d of thought 2 months ago we’d be missing Clarke as Bad as we are ,we play 433 ( it’s 451 really ) but don’t break quick and teams who just sit deep we can’t break down,you end up with boring games with a boring atmosphere,
