zemas tendon 0 Posted August 30, 2013 Just look at the difference, bayern singing, giant flags, banners, Chelski all sitting there like stuffed farts, is this because we as a football nation, so surpressed in being told cant stand, cant chant, high prices, where as the germans, have cheap tickets, safe standing areas!!

I tried to think which English club could rival bayerns level of support and I don''t think any club could. Perhaps Liverpool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lavanche 0 Posted August 30, 2013 Yup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9JlunfCh4EThis is something that is normal in HBSC games. Team that has had lots of struggle in past years.Something that I would want to see in snake pit and barclays before every home game and that new/old slow version of OTBC ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted August 30, 2013 Lets be honest. OTBC is pretty awful.stuff now. Hardly 1 to pump you up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOO 0 Posted August 30, 2013 It could be great if sung properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lavanche 0 Posted August 30, 2013 Yes I ment I want us to sing it slow instead of that random shouting that just doesnt make any favour for the song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOO 0 Posted August 30, 2013 It would be much more powerful and inspiring if we sang it slowly, that nonsense before the beginning of the game doesn''t help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 30, 2013 Thats what i mean that 321, kick it off, before the game. Otbc before a game against 1p5wich is normally pretty awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 0 Posted August 30, 2013 If the scores stay''s at 2-1, JT is probably thinging about a hat-trick of lifting the trophy without ever playing. Never in the history of the game can a player have lifted so many trophies without ever playing a part. Maybe modesty will get the better of him or perhaps Bayern will score another two and save him from this dilemma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JC 0 Posted August 30, 2013 As an avid fan of Germany, German football and my team Hannover 96 I can shed some light on the atmosphere in German grounds which have the best atmosphere that I have ever been involved in (I have been to matches in France, Belgium, Holland, Bolivia, Chile, Italy to name a few). 1. Each player is introduced by the MC saying the number and the first name, the crowd shout the surname. This warms the crowd up nicely2. When a home team scores, they usually have goal music (shock horror tinpot clubs like Dortmund, Schalke, Bayern all have goal music) and even sometimes change this for different players. Hannover play Nellie The Elephant for Didi Ya Konan who is Ivorian. 3. The MC will also then announce the goal as follows: Hannover 96 (fans shout the score), Opponent (Null [regardless of scoreline]), MC “danke” (thanks), fans reply “bitte” (you’re welcome) again really gets the crowd going 4. Standing, all grounds have a standing area, this is where the noise comes from. These have a lot of bars and sections to stop crushing, Dortmund have 18,000 in their Sudkurve (a wall of noise). Most safe standing areas are 10,000+ and in the main are the lower tier behind a goal.5. Alcohol, there are a lot of people that go to the football for a beer and a sing song. There are even people with megaphones who are at the front of the “ultra” section of fans conducting the songs. These people rarely look at the pitch and can be sat at the top of ladders etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOO 0 Posted August 30, 2013 10000 standing area, wow, so what really are the arguments preventing us trying it here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted August 30, 2013 So the Germans with all their beer and standing still need some cretinous announcer to tell them what to do ?dearie dear meYou can see this sort of idiocy on youtube where there is a clip of a binner with a megaphone - enter ''ipswich crazy'' to see himAnd to think Alan Partridge was thought a parody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingCanary 0 Posted August 30, 2013 A lot of German teams have a guy at the front of the crowd with a megaphone who gets the crowd pumpedPretty sure that would be banned in the PremInstead we get the same old idiots banging a drum or playing "that tune" on a trumpetI admire the German fans. They are brilliant and their chanting is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOO 0 Posted August 30, 2013 A lot of the soul has gone out of our game, it''s a shame. How do the Germans seem to get it right so often, they develop their young players far better than we do too, bastards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
