The Club playing EJB song at the End of game ….. 15:43 - Aug 13 with 4145 views | ArnieM | 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 …. | |

Terrific atmosphere from both sets of fans.
Great win and then they play that god awful song Ebenezer Brown ......
Totally kills the atmosphere.

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

The Club playing EJB song at the End of game ….. on 08:37 - Aug 14 with 2615 views | CityBlue | 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. | | | |
The Club playing EJB song at the End of game ….. on 09:07 - Aug 14 with 2512 views | DJR | 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. | | | |

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. | | | |

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

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. 🤷🏻♂️ | | | |

Or hey jude... back in the 00's it was singing the blues, but tbh I really don't care what song gets played as long as we win. | | | |

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. | |
