paultheroyal But thats just it AP - no-one does shout there nuts off when we score - or even sing for that matter at times. This is a little bit of encouragement.

Let it go.


So when Reading score everyone sits on their hands?

It's just not the same without 80's chart top 20ers the Piranhas and their lyrical masterpiece.

You have to laugh or else you'll cry.

do do do do do


No - but i go back to the increased atmosphere post - bottom line is - IT WORKS!!

Rawlie19 It wouldn't be so bad if it was something related to the club, like Terry & June. ... It might be a "what the hell?" moment to start with from some fans (those that don't realise why it's our tune for a start)

I haven't heard Terry & June being sung for ages - I can't remember the last time it was.

I'm officially bored of this argument.

Anyway, when I ditch my season ticket for the first time in 17 years next season, at least the club will get a family of 4 in my place.

Alan Partridge tom Hark - DUMP

Terrible and totally unnecessary. Doesn't aid the atmosphere a single bit, just looks and sounds SHITE. If you want to hear awful music give me a shout and i'll send you some!! 8)


Count yourself lucky AP as at least you only have to endure part of the song and not the whole thing - unlike those of us in the Fawcett Inn in Portsmouth after the game last Saturday. Damn you RG30 :twisted:

My 'stand up and jump around like a loon if you hate this music' chant went down a storm when we scored.

RoyalBlue It was sh*t and I immediately sat down in protest! :twisted:

I'd love to know what the club regard as constituting popular demand.

We do not need stupid music to celebrate a goal. As has been said many times before, that's the one time when supporters do not need encouragement to go wild and make some noise.


Oh my god, here we go again. It is the old 'I don't like the music and I'll ignore the fact that a substantial proportion of the crowd does (or at least joins in)' game.

If you don't like it then just ignore it, but don't ask half witted questions like that in your last sentence. Just look around the stadium - it is painfully obvious what constitutes popular demand.


And I think you're depriving a village somewhere of a resident.

The fact that people carry on celebrating the goal when the music is played, with some joining in the arm motions like brainless zombies, does not mean that they all emailed/rang the club asking for the return of the music. So nothing wrong with my question at all - how many people contacted the club to ask for the music back and prompting the use of the term 'by popular demand'.

And whilst we're at it, why not do a Wycombe and start the tom-toms each time we win a corner. That will add to the atomosphere and if they keep it going long enough the brain dead will join in.

Come to think of it, let's have some piped crowd noise, then supporters won't have to bother to do anything themselves. We can even play some boos over the tannoy each time Brynjar or Oster give the ball away!

As for the argument advanced by someone else that it prolongs the atmosphere/celebrations - it probably does the exact opposite. The moment the music is turned off everyone shuts up and sits down!!

So maybe it's really a clever and devious bit of crowd/mind control on the part of the safety police at T he Mad Stad to make sure everyone sits down quickly!!

The music is brilliant. Tom Hark is the perfect football music and if it pees off all the south east corner crowd who think they should lead all the celebrations , then it's all the better.

Those who spend their lives distraught about Tom Hark are no doubt the same ones who dislike the drummer because he too has stolen their thunder.

They could always go to Oxford. they don't have a drummer or music.

Seeing who gets annoyed by Tom Hark I have to say that I am delighted it's back !! :wink:

Although it makes no difference how I celebrate a goal whether there is music or not - I try to keep emotion out of football if at all possible.

You really are a muppet. I don't have a problem with the drummer (most of the time) but tom hark!!! why is that back.

Anyone over the age of 12 pumping their fists in the air after a goal to this looks like an utter cnut

Though almost the entire East Stand were doing it, so the point is fairly irrelevant anyway. If you want to dance to the music then do, if you don't then just jump around and celebrate the goal when it goes in and stand there clapping or just doing nothing. It's simple

Anyone over the age of 12 who cares how "cool" they look is an utter cnut IMO. How about you all quit whining like little boys and just start supporting Reading which, after all, is the oxf*rd point :roll:
