The Club playing EJB song at the End of game ….. 15:43 - Aug 13 with 3955 viewsArnieM

Did anyone else feel it actually disrupted the natural repertoire of songs the SBR would have sung? I did, and not everyone was singing along with the piped EJB song anyway, so it felt like we all just stood there ….

It did seem odd to me. If they were going to play an Ipswich based song I think Singing the Blues would have made more sense.

Post match buzzkill? by kpblues 12 Aug 2023 20:18
Great match and great result.

Terrific atmosphere from both sets of fans.

Great win and then they play that god awful song Ebenezer Brown ......

Totally kills the atmosphere.

Or am I alone in this?

The song was sung spontaneously several times last season. I always like it myself. At least unique!

I liked it. They're always going to play something awful, and at least that's our something awful!

Much better than the terrible Sweet Caroline.

I actually thought the reading of the scores was really strange as it disrupted the atmosphere of the post match celebration lap.

I love it. I’d personally play it pre match, just as kick off happens. Cut the music and let fans belt it out.

We’ll be good again... one day

I loved the song in the seventies (and the b side - Ipswich football calypso) but do not think it lends itself well to being chanted.
As corny as it is you will be had pushed to find a better endgame song than sweet Caroline. Absolutely no connection with the club or football but certainly has the feelgood factor.

Of course tis a singalong song. People just need to learn it.

Sweet caroline is obnoxious and massively overexposed. Many of us would run from the stadium when subjected to that for the umpteenth time.

Agreed. Sweet Caroline was odd(nothing to do with ipswich, just England (for.some reason) and awful.

I agree with the OP. A lot of people around me in upper SBR left when it came on, and I would have much preferred an SBR rendition of something like "We've got super Kieran McKenna", as a continuation of the post-match celebrations from last season which weren't interrupted by music.

Each to their own and I agree that it's nice to have something unique but I can't stand that song.

i would say you would be in the minority and it is this blinkered football snobbery approach that leads to so much discontent.... just saying

I don’t think people leave because a song comes on, I think they leave because they’re leaving anyway

I think it was Northern Ireland who started singing it around the time of the 2016 Euros. They needed to find something singable, bland and entirely free of any sectarian connotation.

I sensed a reaction from some who I felt were hoping it would be cut, and certainly there were far fewer people around me than last season by the time the players got to near to SBR.

It was played at all Carl Frampton's fights for that reason, and that spilled into their football fans.

Why do Stoke sing 'Delilah' and not change any of the lyrics. Never worked that one out.

Have to agree. After a display like that most fans want nothing more than to show their appreciation, and it certainly killed off some of that atmosphere. As too did the playing of EEJB which followed, imo.

But each to their own, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

All dates back to the 80s apparently when their fans in a pub were asked by police not to sing a song with swear words in it. They sang Delilah and continued it to the ground.

There was also a band who did a cover in gig at Stokes ground late 70s and it may have stuck then.

It’s easy to sing when drunk seems to be the reason it’s stuck.

The players seemed to take longer to get to the SBRS, they all waited and huddled together in the middle before walking round as one.

On EEJB, loads of people have been wanting it to be played at FT after a win for ages instead of some random pop song, my 5 year old loves it and we sing it together
