BicesterCanary 5 Posted March 16 (edited) Just wondering if anyone else has experienced what our group gets when we are chanting. A glare behind from the older fan base is almost guaranteed. Today we were confronted for singing. Is this experienced by others? Any people who hate chanters care to share why? Never had this with younger fans but a portion of the older generation seem to hate it Edited March 16 by BicesterCanary Spelling 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,278 Posted March 16 What did they say, and what was the chanting at the time? See plenty of people who moan about standing or get fed up with someone if they're continually acting a ****. But not seen anyone get confronted for general chanting before.

Nothing in particular tbh, just a general animosity from us starting chants. The generals of yellows and OTBC was maybe 5 minutes in. They then promptly left after we started a 'Were Norwich City. We' ll sing on our own". I more just wanted to see if anyone else had this perspective as it's definitely not the first time people have tried to make it uncomfortable to chant. Not that igaf 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you could find a safe space, or explain why you can see someone standing behind or bother to look, if they are only 'glaring'. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be my southern accent tbf, we're not local to Norwich but I'd say it's about 50/50 each game. Its becoming part and parcel of an away game for me, definitely a new thing in the last couple years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,561 Posted March 16 I didn’t moan, although I did point out to the woman next to me that the new song-to the tune of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Everywhere’-was the most tuneless song I’d ever heard 🤣 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you as far south as Diss, then? Accent shouldn't be that noticeable, but some supporters are very diligent in weeding outsiders out, try putting "buh" at the end of each chant and using terms like "Thass a rum ol' shot" when Gaby shoots. If it goes in, just arch your back and in a high pitch voice go 'Coooooooooootdahell bah!" You should be ok then. Edited March 16 by Google Bot 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,659 Posted March 16 Perhaps it is the singer rather than the chanting/song - I’ve heard some utterly tuneless chanting in my many years of going to games…though find it funny more than annoying, and it’s clearly not meant to be a singing competition!

Corbs1 89 Posted March 16 Interesting topic. I think our away fan base is varied, probably less cohesive and loud that most. At away games that I attend the atmosphere varies, usually good, but you can find yourself in a mixed area with relatively few getting behind the team, so I think I know where you’re coming from. Hell is other people at times. We all know a motley varied bunch turn up at away games, from partners to neutrals who live locally who have been invited along. I remember being in the away end at Leeds in the late 70s, probably a coach load, the Leeds fans were able to individually take the mick out of us, I realised quite early that quite a few with me weren’t even Norwich fans, they had joined mates, along for the day trip. In those days one almost wanted to lose as it was a long walk back to the station - but Justin scored and it was 2-2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,211 Posted March 16 Only happened to me once. Sitting in the jarrolds stand. We were joining in with the chants. Not swearing and the guy in front turned round and told us to calm down. We ignored him. Best story though I can't remember where I read it, probably on here. A few people tried to get a few chants going on the coach back from a winning away game. They were promptly told to shut up so people could get some sleep! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How dare I question someone seeing a person behind them glaring. Or some youngster feeling intimidated by an old person glaring at them. Perhaps it was just a frown. Mind you it could have got nasty with the old boy breaking out into 'tut tut' You should learn to recognise a wind up, and either join in or ignore rather than come across (yet again) as a pompous **** 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,405 Posted March 16 I can't recall ever having ever being criticised for chanting nor seen any others criticised for doing so. Are you sure that either you or your mates were not being obnoxious in any way? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
