Atmosphere at PR 00:45 - Jan 21 with 2170 viewskizaitfc

As much as Blue Action have helped the atmosphere at PR over the past few years, I really think the stubbornness of them trying to force new songs that clearly are not catching on is causing a negative atmosphere.

I can visibly see fans in the lower north laughing at some of the songs coming from the left.

Can we have one week where we just sing the old school songs, they seem to carry around the ground.

Good atmosphere tonight.

But BA, please drop the, We’ve got Kieran McKenna rendition. Too slow, not catchy and people don’t know the drony end line either.

There’s already the super Kieran McKenna and Kieran’s at the wheel chants, which are far better and more popular

Atmosphere last two games better but there is an annoying echo from out of sync or different songs being sung.

I miss the NS days of reactionary songs and 'banter'.

Yes, I'm also against a set of fans trying to invent new songs and I'm quite happy singing the David Johnson song until the day I die.

Blue Action were on good form last night. Without them, the NS end of the ground would consist of bald 67 year old men tutting a lot and telling George Hirst to run about a lot more.

Moaning at people for trying to get new songs going.

There were plenty of older songs sung last night also.

A PR crowd being self-conscious and reserved? I’ve never heard of such a thing!

It’s been like it for at least 46/47 years, bar a few hysterical blips like we had a couple of years ago. That’s the problem with putting a football ground in the middle of Suffolk; it’s going to fill up with Suffolk people.

SBRU (3) had a good vibe last night with a few up there starting songs and people joining in. I am not on board with the stereotyping of areas though, theres a good mix around where I sit who enjoy the banter and sing a long.

It is bad enough when clubs move season ticket holders but other fans wanting to do it is just plain wrong.

They've tried to arrange that and for some reason, the people who already sit there didn't want to move to a worse seat for BA's benefit.

Sat in the Sir Alf upper last night rather than my usual seat in the SBRL and you couldn't really hear the SBR or A Block.

But friends who I met after said the atmosphere was fairly lively.

Ignorant comment. Blue Action started as a reaction to the nadir of the Evans years and were a big part of saving the club.

You should know that if you were there through the trenches.

Interestingly I think it's worse when people consider 'their' seat more important than the atmosphere at a game 30K attend. By all means, get first pick of where you move to, have the club liaise to move groups together, but think about the bigger picture.

Me, me me mentality is the scourge. It's actually disgusting.

Rather than move them as a block I think you'd actually get a better atmosphere if there were little pockets of them spread out through the stadium but close enough to each other that they can hear what the chant is. It tends to be when you get a few people in each stand joining in that those who tend to sing less then end up joining in.

Not sure that they'd want to be split up though!

Thought it was better last night. Still very hard to pick up the noise from where I was in the Sir Alf upper, but that was not due to the efforts of BA and others.

The new Kieran Mckenna song to Glad all over is a shocker though.

For me, football is about, apart from all the things Sir Bobby said (the passion, the belonging etc) its about meeting up with people from different walks of life that you wouldn't normally meet and whose company I enjoy , but with a common love (ITFC) . Infront of me are 2 NHS workers, lovely people, to my left an electrician and his daughter, behind are an ex mikman and a female sound engineer. Why should I move seat and lose years of friendships that in other walks of life would not of developed. We sing, we enjoy, we are happy, its like everything in life now, everyone wants to enforce their beliefs on you and wont leave you alone, wether its religion, sexual preferance or what tooth paste to use. I like my seat, am in the leave me alone catogory and reluctant to move.

Is there a worse seat than SBRL? I mean the view is terrible & I reckon about 75% of current occupants only sit there “for the atmosphere” rather than wanting to contribute too it.

BA should be slap bang in the middle of SBRL.

Would agree, Kieran McKenna doesn’t quite scan in the song. It needs to be four syllables like when it was used for Marcus Harness. Bit like when we have tried the Tequila one for “Chuba” the two syllables doesn’t quite scan when it should be three.

Could go any of the following for we’ve got

This could be controversial, should there me a maximum age limit in SBRL? Obviously there’s the 13 minimum.

There is a lot of ‘oldies’ in SBRL who don’t contribute to the atmosphere at all.
