Without a doubt that bell end who comes out before every home game and tells us to "back the boys and make some noise".........had enough of that many seasons ago but he still persists

Royal Biscuitman Other (Please state) - "Be loud, be proud and back the boys and make some noise"


+1 ... that's the only thing really .... also that video in the season in which we went down, which said 'We won't be next' or something like that and of course we were.

Just the awful goal music really. If the club insist on playing something then at least make it unique and catchy but preferably no music at all.

the numptie who came up with the goal music wants putting up against a wall and pelting with Eggs!! I'm a football fan,i can scream/shout/dance without the aid of music when i celebrate a goal.People who need music to celebrate should stick with the local Disco.Rave or Karaoke in the local Pub :x

Useless, unoriginal, tedious, childish, boring, boorish, idiotic chants to the same over-used tune.

Stand up if you're 1-0 up.

How useless are you, we're winning away? (or something like that)

Get me out of this sh1thole (ditto)

Your support is feckin sh1t


Sh1t on the floor

Just boring, boring, boring

And it will always be that way until we, the fans, adopt a song to make uniquely ours.

It doesn't have to be good, it doesn't have to be contemporary, nor anything other than catchy with a fairly easy to remember chorus.

Glad all over = Palace
On the ball, City = Norwich
Blue Moon = Citeh
Blarmy = Reading

Imagine an away cup fixture and a packed away end at the County Ground singing a song that the locals hate to hear and boo throughout, just because it is Reading's song.
The solution really is in our own hands. With the growth of social media these days, it is not difficult to produce a proper shortlist of candidate songs, settle on a choice, this goes viral amongst the social grouping, a pre- arranged "chior practice" just prior to kick off at a selected match. There you go.

Like this for example, perhaps, to the tune of the Turtles 'Elenore'

You've got a thing about you, I just can't live without you,
I really love you, Rea-ding FC

Your hoops intoxicate me,
even though Swindon hate me,
there's no team like you,
Rea-ding FC

Reading FC I think you're swell,
and when you really do play well,
you're my pride and joy etc

Reading FC just take your time,
hold the lead until full time,
winning games is so much better

:wink:

Would love to see a 'Club Anthem / Song ' before kick off that everyone can sing. Would defiantly create a better atmosphere . Easters song is good

Instead of the SAME music every home game too. So tired of hearing that bloody The Who track every time. THE WHO!! Target audience? Maybe at Elm Park.
