FLAGMAN Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 liking all the new songs at oldham, but their not really english, so what do you guys think to starting something like before the game, like liverpool do and have never walk alone, or something else? any suggestions? something that will bring a bit of atmosphere back at boundary park, even if you cba and youd rather sit their through the game thats fine, but still as fans we've gotta atleast make it a interesting ground to come to even if we do have 3 stands... so any suggestions on songs or anything? and we could possibly have something sorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owdumer Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 How about "Song sung blue" by Neil Diamond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I liked the idea of the fans singing along to "Guns of Naverone" after we scored but it never caught on. I like it when the Walsall fans sing "One Step Beyond" but I wouldn't want us to copy them Edited January 26, 2012 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Lots of blue with a historic link to Pine Villa and I'm farily sure that football is ready for a Laurel and Hardy number: On The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine -- Way Out West --1937 On a mountain in Virginia stands a lonesome pine Just below , is the cabin home of a little girl of mine. Her name is June and very , very soon she'll belong to me For I know she's waiting there for me 'neath that lone pine tree. In the blue ridge mountains of Virginia , on the trail of the lonesome pine, In the pale moonshine , our hearts entwine Where she carved her name and I carved mine Oh June , like the mountains I'm blue Like the pine I am lonesome for you In the blue ridge mountains of virginia On the trail of the lonesome pine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAGMAN Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 i like the sound of the neil diamond one, something that the main stand can get involved everyone singing it, scarves and flags be a good atmosphere before the game, and leaflets handed out before on lyrics for people who dont know it, to get everyone learning it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 How about "Song sung blue" by Neil Diamond? It's a bit of a gayer song, I thnk there might be a tad of p taken out of us A slighty more uptempo inspirational choice would be better.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I can't really see our following singing a twee indiepop song in their masses but the chorus line of the Blacks will be grey and the whites will be grey but the blues are still blue could be easily converted to something like Citeh are :censored:e and United are :censored:e but the blues are still blue.Long shot, admittedly.Anyway, I really like it when a clubs fans convert a contemporary pop song into their own anthem. United, as much as I don't like them are great at doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
textbookdave Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 My best football atmosphere experience was River Plate FC (Argentina), They are famous for the 'Twelfth man' approach! 90 minutes of singing, drums, trumpets and megaphones! Scarves by the thousands and flags by the hundreds. I noticed a big gap in the middle of the stand behind the goal and my Argentinean friend said watch.... 5 minutes before kickoff the 'Ultra' made their entrance WOW WOW WOW! It just did not stop from that point. Keep it simple: 1x BIG drum As many Tambourines as possible Everyone own a scarf and display it above the head when singing Get the young ones waving the flags 1x song every 5 mins with a 5 min breather for some 'COME ON OLDHAM shout' LETS GO GO GO !!!!

Theres a piece in the National Football Museum of the Kop in the 1960's and the fans are singing Merseybeat songs from that era like with Man Utd fans chanting Stone Roses, Joy Division songs, Chelsea singing Madness and Leeds singing Chumbawamba etc Edited January 27, 2012 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
