Weston Super Saint Posted 27 August, 2023 Share Posted 27 August, 2023 1 hour ago, Lighthouse said: We (many football clubs) have been playing ‘goal celebration music’ for decades now, this is nothing new. In the Burley seasons we used to play I feel good; I distinctly remember that because about a week after James Brown died, it randomly started playing on the PA, whilst the ball was in play. Anyway, if we’re going to play anything, I’ll hang my hat on Kernkraft 400, it’s a great tune and a proper stadium anthem. Not exactly American either, Zombie Nation are a German techno ensemble. I guess most people forgot we did it after last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 27 August, 2023 Share Posted 27 August, 2023 Usually I'd agree with you but I've come round to it, I think it's great personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Juice Posted 27 August, 2023 Share Posted 27 August, 2023 I really like it; gives me an opportunity to twerk which is something i have always wanted to integrate into my football supporting experience 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll want to save this for the next Saints Forum. Perhaps you could take up at least ten minutes on the question. We've already got 'Be nicer to away fans' so this should slot right in. I want to go along, spend at ten minutes about what a great fan I am, man and boy, how Ive taken mykids, my Grandad and his Grandad were great fans and then ask my question, 'Can someone tell me, what's that smell?' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 27 August, 2023 Share Posted 27 August, 2023 Anyone getting their arses in a cramp about it are seemingly in the minority - from my lofty perch of the cheap seats in the Itchen-Chapel corner, the majority of those in attendance were dancing about and clapping along. I guess with no VAR to kill the party everyone just let themselves go - who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 28 August, 2023 Share Posted 28 August, 2023 For what it's worth as someone with a small c, conservative, outlook on life I dont embrace change that readily. However I quite like the Saints band involvement and they appear to stir up the crowd a bit before kick off. I am also in favour of the goal celebration music although this would fall absolutely flat if we scored late on and losing 3-0!! It is good that the high volume music played before the game and also at half time seems to have been modified or done away with. On the debit side the young lady who seems to have replaced Francis Benali's daughter (hopefully not on a regular basis) had a voice and delivery which needs a good deal of modulation.

Paul Chuckle Posted 28 August, 2023 Share Posted 28 August, 2023 Didn't they used to play Katrina and the waves, I'm walking on sunshine, when we scored at The Dell towards the late 90s early 2000s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essruu Posted 29 August, 2023 Share Posted 29 August, 2023 At the Norwich match after the first goal we turned to look at each other aghast at the music as generally hate it. But by goals 3 and 4 my mind had been swayed. I noticed on against QPR that it doesn't kick in immediately after the goal. The initial organic crowd celebration still happens without the music. After X secs when the music starts, it's normally when the initial elation and celebrations begin to subside into more sedate clapping; The music just keeps the crowd engaged and prolongs the celebration IMO. As long as it never starts immediately when the goal goes in, I'm coming round to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted 29 August, 2023 Share Posted 29 August, 2023 Being an old geezer I'm a bit old school, nothing beats the edgy atmosphere of the 70s/80s imo but I've got no problem with this. It's the only time large swathes of our crowd get a bit animated - and going on how so many join in it looks like the majority of (match-going fans) are onboard with it.
