Lovely hot donuts! The observation is basically accurate however last year there was more noise made by 500ish people at Derby or Millwall. I think the decreased atmosphere is down to:
a) More fans at away games. Those who always went to the away games are the mental ones who shout football songs in their sleep but the new batch aren't that into singing (I include myself in this). We'll join in but not start anything.
b) More importantly, away ends are packed and there's allocated seating meaning those who create an atmosphere are split up, the people who get chants tarted are stuck near the front. Being able to sit where you want in the championship made for a better atmosphere.
What I'm saying is basically bullshit but the point is that we don't need a new song, circumstances mean creating an atmosphere is more difficult in the premiership.
I'm aware that didn't make much sense but oxf*rd it!

Theroyalbox After my second away game this season i was disapointed with the atmosphere at the swansea game hardly got going at all from the reading fans. Lack of songs to sing for players...? Pretty much what im saying is we need a huge song a well known song for reading...

rob the royal I know I am also pandering to the original poster who is basically pi55ing into the wind with this thread/going over old ground/barking up the wrong tree (delete as appropriate) but what disappoints me a bit is the lack of player-related songs of any length, which is why we end up doing the jobi mcanuff and jimmy kebe songs just for them touching the ball.
Alex McCarthy clap clap clap clap clap
Adam Federici duh duh duh
ian harte harte harte
and some players don't even have chants that get used at all.
Hence we get so bored that we end up singing god save the queen at swansea and cardiff because we've basically got nothing better to sing...
And +1 for the above. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

^^^ this
good luck trying to change it though
there are original/good songs out there for some of our players
the HRK one(while annoying, is at least original) ALFs tequila one, jobis nananananananana one
but invariably the crowd actively choose to ignore them, and sing the obvious and dull clap clap songs instead
many of our players dont even have songs, which is pretty sad, in the olden days, when all this was landfill, we had chants for every player
