Hey Jude pre match.. on 23:04 - Sep 2 by TRUE_BLUE123
Derby fans belted it out, every single one of them. Seems like such an insignificant thing but it is baffling that we have persisted with it.
Surely there is some way we can get it through to the club. I saw so many tweets in the off season asking for it to be ditched as well.
The whole pre match stuff is terrible IMO. The flames, the PA who is like a child that has consumed too many sweets and then Hey Jude.
did you see any flames on Saturday... ?
also I cant say I heard the Derby fans singing hey jude, maybe you sit nearer them, but it actually sounded like the whole ground was singing it, because its that kind of song, anyone knows the words to it
as opposed to a handful of people who will sing EEJB, or any other dirge from the past people suggest. because sorry theyre not crowd atmosphere songs, its like Everton playing Z cars, they only do it now because people would moan if they stopped, but it barely has any appeal to people who were born 50 years ago. how is it supposed to appeal to the current generation of fans let alone the next.
and if EEJB was such a popular song, it would be sung on the terraces all the time, and its not is it ? so why should we play it pre match.
as an example I went to see Boston Red Sox last year theyve a tradition of playing Sweet Caroline during the 8th inning stretch, so what according to your rules everyone plays Sweet Caroline dont they, so they shouldnt because everyone does it, its tired, its cliche, and yet everyone knows the words and they had 36,000 odd fans singing along to it and it created a great atmosphere.
fwiw Id prefer we went back to Two Steps from Hell or Ninja tracks pre match, but Im liking the early naughties flavour Chemical Bros segueway into Fat Boy Slim.
I also think the PA does a good job too. but its easy to criticise.

Absolutely - everyone knows it and it’s OUR song, not one every single team can sing.
I seriously doubt 27,000 in the stadium really know EJB. It needs to be something more recognisable and easy to deliver. As awful as it is, this is why Hey Jude gets so many people joining in.
Just look around other clubs, and the unique chants/songs that get the entire stadium rocking.
I realise that this will be a very unpopular view, but if you want to replace Hey Jude with something that gets the entire ground rocking it, it’s not EJB.

They should know it. Aged about 10 I knew it word for word… and that was just hearing it in the pub! If they club play it weekly more and more will listen and grasp the words. Not like they couldn’t have it all over the socials or anything…
