Sweet Caroline

[Schards#2]

I'm sure there's been a thread about this before but i'm buggered if I can find it. In short.....

It's Crap
It's uninspiring
It has no relevence to Reading
It's inappropriate for a football game
No one sings it

Please give it a rest and have get a sensible and appropriate piece of music for the teams to walk out to.

[Volvicanus]

Agree that it's poor to walk out to - but would still love to hear it after we score.

[Toon Toon Blue army]

To be fair a few people sang it in Y25 on Saturday.

Firstly, it has relevance to the players at the club.

Secondly, there were a number of people singing it in Y21.

Agreed it does not get the crowd going. On the otherhand the video & music beforehand raises the heartbeat and also seems to shut up most away fans who are glued to it too.

[Reading Abbey]

It carries memories from last season but certainly don't play it after we score! No music after we score, please.

[Royalshow]

Some people,including myself singing it at the top of b18.i'm sure if it gets played again more people will join in.

[Keeper]

The problem was that a lot of people couldn't actually hear it on Saturday either

[pieface]

i was speaking to little and he loves it as its a song the players requested to be doine before the game to get people singing to it like thay were on may day that was amazing and would inspire any players.Im forever blowing bubbles has far less relavance to west ham seeing the player bubble only ever played once for them.Look at what that does for players of the team.SO i say lets sing it evey week

[Silver Fox]

I've spoken to another player who thinks it is possibly the worst idea ever for an anthem

Has to be Marcus who in all fairness has the worst music taste on the planet!!

[Barry the bird boggler]

I like it. It's a good idea and is at least something that's come from the players rather than the dreadful Tom Hark thats been foisted on us. Also at least its orginal. By the way what has Delilah got to do with Stoke?

You sing to that and we'll stick to Sweet Caroline, yea?

who?

Bytw little also did his dancing to it when talking about it and calling himself twinkle toes those whos were at May day will understand classic with sids and him dancing to it while the fans sang it,Those who say it means nothing to the team i dont believe were thier cause that was specail moment beetween the east stand and them two.Also the player are the team and they were the ones who asked for it in the first place so what do you mean nothing to do with the team?

I must be going deaf in my old age then because I sit in Y25 and I'm buggered if I heard them. Agree with Schards, it's shite.

[floyd__streete]

Sweet Caroline does nothing for me. Let's have a burst of shall we? It's gloriously kitsch, the opposition won't know what to make of it and we can laugh in their confused little Premiership fat-cat faces and best of all for Reading supporters no words to join in with

[addsrfc]

around Y19 a few people started to sing but then the idiot of a drummer started doing what he does

[Forbury Lion]

It has no relevence to Reading

Does it not bring back a flood of memories relating to the Derby game? - Does for me and that's the only reason I like the song!

I'd prefer to hear it after the final whistle when we win, not pre-game. On the plus side it has some meaning to our players and they probably requested it. That's good enough for me, at least it's not likely to give the opposition players a boost.

No one sings it

Whereas we all sang along to the entrance themes which came before it.... especially that Robbie Williams song that seemed to stick around an entire season

Guilty.... I'm often transfixed on the big screen as it shows highlights of the season so far.

[pieface]

Ok then scrap it if u feel this strongly but i say it a great song with great memorys and i would lovwe it to stay and become known as readings song rather than hundredss copied form other teams
