Sweet Caroline

[maffff]

I voted for Kevin Girdler's Sing For The Royals because I'm a traditional old fart, but I do like Sweet Caroline. Be great to hear the fans singing it!

I've always ALWAYS hated that song. It just grates on me.

[P!ssed Off]

Embrace - Ashes my choice.
Love it, and get a bit excited whenever I hear it.

Don't associate Sweet Caroline massively with the football.

I do love that song, been my alarm every morning for the last 8 years or so.....

To be fair, the club missed the boat on this one - It should have been the anthem from the day they played it to celebrate winning the championship.

Sweet Caroline should be the obvious choice.

That Embrace song is so fcuking ghey. I hate it. I just checked on You Tube to see if it was as ghey as I remembered & it is.

Sweet Caroline is a proper, feel good classic.

Plus people can sing it which is a huge factor - you can't sing Embrace.

Sweet Caroline is awful. It's one of those tracks that get's wheeled out at chavvy parties. It get's old fogeys dancing like RL with their grandchildren just prior to a fight kicking off between two gobby cousins who can't handle their Kaliber shandy's. Then the ladies start crying and the party ends early.

It's an oldie but a goodie that fans can sing along to. Us Reading fans can't handle too many words.

Amazed it's taken this long to sort it out TBH.

You were always on my mind

Good shout.

Voting for a 'club anthem' is incredibly gay, and another reason why Reading have some of the worst supporters around. Who gives a shit.

See now I do not agree with this one bit. The club asked for feedback on making the match day experience / atmosphere better & lots of people responded. They have listened to the response and put it in the fans' hands which is good work on their part.

The problem with Reading fans is not choosing an anthem, it's the Reading fans who would rather berate others for trying to improve the atmosphere & have a bit of a laugh because they're too worried about what other people think of them.

We have more important issues at hand than choosing a piece of music that will be played for 3 minutes before kick-off. How about giving us an update on the ownership situation, explaining why ticket prices are so high, and why Nigel Adkins is still in a job.

1) Update - We don't have new owners yet
2) Ticket prices are actually very reasonable compared to other clubs
3) Because he's a good manager

Trying to engage the fans is not a crime.

Why don't you wake up and realise it's 2014? By now we have internet engagement with fans. If a bit of proactive work by the club creates an anthem which is bellowed out in 50 years time then who gives a oxf*rd.

The 'plastic' 'gay' 'shitty' Reading fans are the ones who seem to believe they are somehow better than everyone else and spent their life slagging off the club and fellow fans, rather than the ones who are proactive and passionate in supporting the club.

I look forward to hearing this sung by the crowd! Not going to happen is it?

The club have better things to be getting on with.

"Sorry Lads, trainings off today, we need to get someone to pop an article up on Matchday music. What do you mean, we have a department for that?!"
