Think we do need to improve singing
But how?
We need organization before we move a new stadium
I went a Swedish Allsvenskan game at Östersund last Saturday.
And singing was conducted by someone on a platform in front of terrace with a megaphone.
Now I'm not saying this a solution but need something along these lines
I hate drums at games but certainly worked for Grimsby at Wembley
Or maybe you could have groups of 5 or 10 supporters dotted around ground to start song at same time

Think we need a new thread to debate this?? GGMI is your man. We need to hire a choirmaster to train us to sing alltogether and in tune - and then to stand at the front and conduct. |

Most countries in Europe really respect our clubs dedication and support in our teams and a lot of them have taken our songs on. Diferent cultures create different atmospheres. Our clubs supporters create a great atmosphere though no doubt about it. I appreciate that your looking for ways to improve it though I'm just saying. |

I like Goodnight Irene but we do overuse it, especially at the big games. Also why is it we only sing the chorus? We used to sing the whole lot and just singing the same few lines makes it repetitive. 100% agree with this |

I think we have a reasonable amount of songs..just that we don't get them all out as often as we should.
Singing the blues
Tom hark (with "gas" interspersed in each line)
Hey Jude
Na-Na Hey-Hey Bristol Rovers
You'll never get rid of the Gas
Everywhere we go
When the Gas go marching in
Come on you blues
We all follow the Rovers
We're Rovers Supporters, we'e faithful and true....leading in to..
GI
Give us an R
Rovers (or yellows if in change kit)
B-R-F-C Barmy Army
Darrell Clarke's Blue & White Army (or "circus" if it is that bad!)
...and if we've scored "let's go effing mental etc"
Then there are usually several player chants, currently...
Small angry pirate who's covered in hair
Na-na-na (etc) Harrison
O Rory Gaffney
One of our own (Lines or Clarke)
And that MT song
We could always recycle
The Ryan Green song for Broom
The Disley song for RG (Brunt instead of Hunt)
Ooh aar he's a Colombian
Bodin's on fire
There are those anti city songs too (Sparrow, We 'ate City, Stand up if) which we should use more sparingly than we do ...I prefer to sing about us rather than them.
Plus all those taunting songs..
Is this a Library/is this a Fire Drill
We can see you sneaking out
Came in a taxi
Shall we sing a song for you
Ooh aar it's a Massacre
Jingle Bells/ win away
Plenty of material there and I know I've missed out a few because they look rubbish written down (clap clap , clap clap clap etc Rovers or oway oway oway etc Bristol Rovers and so on) or I genuinely have forgotten them!
Plus every now and then someone comes up with a belting new one...I don't think we should have a problem filling up ninety minutes without getting two repetitive....although sometimes even constant repetition is fun ....Bas Savage at Dagenham anyone? Or I remember us belting out a continental ( No Words just la-las) chant accentuating it with foot stomps, empty seat banging and corrugated wall bashes at Watford that swirled round the ground for an eternity.
