Enjoyed the slight shade Lampard threw Birmingham’s way in his interview yesterday. Something like “it wasn’t like Birmingham, they still posed a threat”

First album is amazing, even if there are plenty of copying.
Think the increase in attendances is a slight impact on this as it is alot of new people, families etc. Nothing wrong with this at all, its a positive thing, but it does show sometimes you can do more atmosphere wise with less.
We need more player songs 100%. I would consider myself a die hard and ive never been able to make out/remember the Sakamoto song
which basically leaves us with EMC & Bobby Thomas….

It's really not, I do feel you say they are this good as they are kind of from Coventry.

We're used to winning, simple really
It's less of an excitement/novelty to be winning games than it has been years gone by

It was fun when the Watford fans sung “we got the ball “ in the first half
I also thought it was good when they were singing 'you're nothing special, we lose every week' !!

Part of it is also the fact that we have had a season of almost no jeopardy, we've had the game wrapped up by half time.
Also had a turnip behind me whittering on incessantly... Apparently we bought Wolfendon on for his height if you're interested.

I didn't think the atmosphere was that bad. Being 2-0 after 7 or 8 minutes probably takes the edge off a little.
On another note - are we starting to see the 'tourists' buying tickets like you see at EPL clubs?! The only reason I say that is in block 26, I had 3 young lads (maybe early-mid 20s) behind me. Spent the whole game talking about their favourite team, Arsenal and literally dissecting the last few performances.
Didn't sing any songs and from some of the questions they were asking, you could tell they weren't Cov fans.
Probably a one off and not likely representative of the the whole crowd but 3 less people singing!

If we’d just used Sakamotos song from his old club instead the place would be absolutely bouncing. Whoever in singers corners keeps coming up with these 18 part ballards needs an x-factor application form replacing their season ticket.

I feel the opposite. I think theyre actually a decent band with a decent first album. And I feel a lot of people throw shade on them because theyre from Coventry.

Take out the seats from SS, so people don't have the option to sit.
We should introduce shock collars, if you sit in SS/singers corner and your block doesn't reach a certain decibel every 5 minutes then you get zapped.

Nope, absolutely love it regardless. It's got a real cult following around the country as seen in their recent tour.
Clarke's solo stuff was good too. One or two songs on both albums are genuinely outstanding. 'Back to the start' is brilliant.

I always felt way too many Coventry folk disliked them because they were popular and did well.
Too many people in the city hate their own doing well.
The atmosphere is obviously not helped by the early kick offs at the minute but the main contributed is the songs our fanbase have adopted for players.
Rushworth - Just the recycled keeper song, needs time as has worked previously but lack of invention.
KKH/MvE - can have the same chant and it works but we never sing it for longer than 10 seconds
Bobby - Good chant
Kitch - No idea why we've sacked off the Bobby/Kitch chant especially now they're nailed on and playing well.
DaSilva - Seems to have died off this season but again I don't hate it.
Grimes - Absolutely shite chant, deserve a good one
Torp - Not a great chant can only get a verse out of it
EMC - Best chant we have but gets over sung as we have no other decent ones currently
Tats - Chants too long and most of the stadium don't know it. He came with his own chant which we could have used
Haji - It's a classic so I have no issue with it.
Eccles - One of our own is a standard even if it is dull
Allen - No issue with Jamie Allen baby
Rudi - So lazy that just recycled Kaseys chant. Surely as a fan base we can bang some brain cells together for a proper chant for our best player.
Simms- No issue with the chant but again is a 10 second sprint for a verse.
BTA - I don't mind the song but most of the stadium don't know it yet.
O'hare and Gus had great chants, Vik had an okay chant. But they were all player who were involved in big moments and so got sung about. Compared to now Grimes, shite song, Haji short song and Rudi boring song, the new crop involved in big moments don't have the songs to get the rest of the stadium going.
The song book doesn't need ripping up but if we can get good chants in for Rudi and Grimes, maybe a new Allez allez allez chant more so about the club or Frank than a player and the atmosphere will be there again.

We're basically now lumbered with whatever the simpletons hear when they're down the 4p's watching Celtic in the pub league.

This is an absolutely fantastic shout. Saw The Enemy play this live in London a few weeks back, and the crowd were chanting the chorus long before they played it: easy to learn, leans in to our local roots again, and as has been mentioned, works for basically any player!
Would love to hear this echoing round the CBS!

Number 1 is Van Ewijk, number 2 is Van Ewijk, number 3 is Van Ewijk and so on. We all know it, not need to spell.it out completely
Also quite fitting the song was originally for a right back too! Or was Breen more right sided CB?

We have one song we have "borrowed" from Celtic. Also never seen anyone else from the corner in the Ps.
Too Irish for most them
He was a CB.
Maybe someone should let the enemy know about it and they can start it against Sheff Utd?

Nice summary.
There have been some great chants made on here that have never made it to the big time.
A few favourites -
Simms - should have been Tina Turner 'Simms is the best'
Sakamoto - either the one he had at his last club or 'Down in Acapulco'
Eccles - his name is a cake please
Grimes - he's one of our best players and needs a good chant

He was wasnt he! Had a brain fart of a moment and couldn't quite remember. In my defence I was only 12 when he signed for us!

It's not at all. Plenty other similar towns have similar attitudes. It's quite a British thing.
