Im surely not the only one thats getting fucking fed up of it now? It is becoming nails on a fucking chalkboard. Wonderwall levels of killing a song

Pre game, its a belter, an anthem that gets fans and players alike pumped. Any other time, fuck it off, we're murdering it. Stop it

Am i being a misery?? Its incessant, fan villages, bars, but mainly the overuse of it at the stadium. It worked so well as something that was organic, something we all know is our pre game anthem. Club are trying too hard with it. No need for it twice for a pre season game ffs
 
Once before a game is fine. I enjoy it but the second verse and after the game is pure killjoy. It’s so bad.

CCFC please listen as most fans think this. Make it a special pre kick off one verse and that’s it. Else it loses the appeal badly.

Not like you to moan mate
 
I kinda think we should try and get something new now. It’s been overdone now especially with the league win, enemy at stadium and park.
Feel like it served its purpose.
But I could live with the once before kick off and then leave it.

Agree. But just like the motor city stuff thats being put out at the moment you can bet wladitt will be flogged to death. Anything cool is done unofficially, the club pushing something so much will only make it awful.

I think our issue is we lack any obvious identity and the fans are desperate to have something.
 
Don't think they should play anything immediately after a win, let the fans do their songs and once it dies out get some stuff going then. It's massively overdone now.
 
I have no issue with it being played post game. It's just the whole lyrics on the screen, ground clapping along. It's like an official forced thing. Feels as plastic as that arsenal shite or that trumpet nonsense at spurs
 
Absolutely. One verse and a single round of WLADITT: mint. Peak CBS. Anything else: cringe AF and crowding out other traditions like the Specials when we win.

One verse and a single round UNLESS the opposition flip us round then we get the 2nd verse. Really easy. I remember the first time it happened and no one knew what was going on.
 
Was really surprised, and disappointed, they played it today. Ground no more than 1/3rd full it was only ever going to be half arsed, borderline embarrassing. Definitely ridiculous playing it at full time.

The club need to be very mindful of sanitising the atmosphere and everything becoming very generic. Its going to be bad enough with more day trippers attending without the creation of an atmosphere in a 'paint by numbers' way, but I guess its in keeping with so many other PL teams. Hopefully the club prove me wrong, but somehow I fear the worst....

Why are you surprised? This is what I'm saying, that song is now 'our songc and the club will sell it to death. There's not a home game we won't play it.

It benefits the club to have these things that can be sold on through merch or whatever as an identity.

There are a few sayings that spring to mind

You can have too much of a good thing
Less is more
Don't kill the goose that lays the golden egg
 
I've learned if you don't like something then you're better off just ignoring it. Saves all the hassle of coming across as an entitled, self indulgent prick.
 
It started getting too much after the enemy performed it before Sheffield.
They started adding extra verses and after games. Just caused confusion if anything.
Then as it became apparent we were gonna piss the league it was any and every opportunity to play it, pretty sure every player got sick of it by the end of the parade.
Pre match, one verse, one chorus... That's when its got it's impact.
 
Just before kick off, first verse, and the first half of the chorus only, massive roar, kick off. Done!

Should definitely not be put on after the game.

Personally preferred the Blue Sky anthem we came out to at HR back in the day .

I’d argue with the more ‘day trippers’ comment.

We have 24k STHs and there will be more than 1K less matchday tickets each game due to an increased away allocation and amendments to the stadium.

And all matchday purchasers will need a membership.

There will be less day trippers than ever.
