Hear me out here. The hairs on the back of my neck stand erect when I hear the Palace Ultras sing, the Kop in full voice, Hammers singing their song, even Chelsea when they warm up to their tune. It just gives a team an identity which we don't have. To me, singing come on your rs repeatedly is a bit dull.
Two weeks ago I was at Celtic Park and I still can't get over how good their fans were. Ninety minutes solid of drums beating, and each song totally different, pure passion.
Best bit for me at QPR is when hi ho silver lining is played and we all sing to it. I was shot down in flames before when I mentioned it but I'd love it to be played just as we kick off so the atmosphere is electric as we kick off. Anyone think this would work?
Saw this today and it is incredible. Hibernian fans singing 'Sunshine on Leith' from the film Sunshine on Leith. I'd just love us to stand out in some way to make other fans envy us for a change. Watch this it's superb, best I have seen.
In Ollies book he relates what Gerry Francis said to him before his first game as a player .He said"you have to give the LR crowd something and then you get the atmoshere and noise" I think that still holds true . There hasnt been much to fire it in recent years . The exception being the Oldham game ,the whole place was jumping well before kick off. Orchestrated singing seems a bit naff to me ,I think Pigbag is a bit long in the tooth tbh. ...

I know we take the piss with Leeds styling themselves the 'Champions of Europe' but I must admit their 'Marching On Together' song that's played before their home games with the vast majority of the crowd joining in really seems to stir the atmosphere at Elland Road and gets the crowd up for it.

You are right. There are so many clubs though like it and they all have a unique song. Just think we need something to make us more unique and create a real buzz. Personally I really think it would work having silver lining as we KO.

When you have only 5 teams in the league/country with any following , Celtic, Rangers, Hibs, Hearts & Aberdeen you can amass that support & sing for 'Scotland ' We're a bit fragmented down here

Agree with OP, I think it would help get the crowd going, anything but this song, this poxy, generic, boring, repetitive frigging song, it makes me want to punch myself in the cock everytime I hear it.
If anyone from the club reads this message board, please, for the sake of my testes, change this song.

Loved that rendition - still can't believe BBC Scotland cut away to the new that day and missed the whole song.
Hibs are no bigger than us - we took over 40k to Wembley, so it's not about size of support. We just don't have a song and we never have had one that I can remember apart from Pigbag, which may not have even been ours.

we could I guess ask the proclaimers to write something stirring just for us, sunshine on Westfield or something similar.
I'd prefer to hear us using London Calling more, given the obvious and clear links to what was our local punk band. Its also one of those songs that springs with malice and intent.
Or we could draw on songs from another apparent season ticket holding local musician of note, Robert Smith. Not sure that Lovecats is necessarily going to intimidate the opposition much, but A Forest is moody, but perhaps less singable. Killing an Arab, probably doesnt work for other reasons, so maybe Jumping Someone Elses Train could be sung by the R's faithful when the team comes out.
If we wanted to draw upon another local beat combo who did quite well for themselves then perhaps a bit of My Generation from could be a go-er?
Pigbag is ok as a goal scored choon. We need something else as an entry to pitch choon. Should I stay or should I go I often think as the teams come out. :)

We had our own song, but you'd need to be in your 70s or 80s to remember it !
To the tune of Ship Ahoy:
All the nice girls love the Rangers All the nice girls love the Rs 'Cos there's something about the Rangers For you know what Rangers are Free and easy Scobie Breasley The third division's pride and joy So if ever you're in doubt Clap your hands and start to shout QPR ! QPR !
Oh, Scobie Breasley was a famous jockey at the time if you hadn't heard of him.

Didn't we once have singing the blues. Still reckon captain Jack.
It's being so happy that keeps me going.

Thinking on this overnight and I am of the opinion that if there were a wifi black hole during the game it would have a greater effect on the atmosphere than any song ever could. Too many people are looking to record an atmosphere rather than create one IMO. As for a stirring tune to come out of the tunnel to I still think this would take some beating and AFAIK no-one else uses it.
The grass is always greener.

Bavarian Oompah Techno featuring samples from Are You Being Served? I reckon Molly Sugden telling Wendy Craig about the rumoured misadventures of her feline friend played at 200bpm over traditional rural German folk music would really raise the temperature in LR and genuinely terrify the oppo.

Swap out Scobie Breasley for Ebere Eze and you’re away laughing

Surely with the line 'Third Division's pride and joy', we should save it for next season ;)
Only kidding... Anyway first post and all that

Sadly I think the days of Loftus Road being one of the best atmospheres in the country is gone, we have lost our identity with a lot of fans thinking we are something we are not. Shame. Even our away support is getting worse, we have had a lot worse sides and we managed to get the atmosphere going for them.
I’m pleased, no ecstatic, that I was around as a 16 year old in 1975 we had standing which gives a much better atmosphere to start with, it was ok to sing YNWA, Hey Jude, Bubbles etc wasn’t seen as cringeworthy then as all clubs sang those, sometimes with a different interpretation, the other thing with standing was the singers could congregate together, but football has changed, we never expected much, just enjoyed the game/atmosphere (fights) drinks afterwards, it was fun, now all a bit too serious, could be my age though.

“Disintegration” probably more fitting. “I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery, stains on the carpet, stains on the memory, songs about happiness murmured in dreams when the both of us knew how the end always is”
