Steve Bruce, CLAP CLAP

I've been meaning to post this for a while.

This chant gets on my nerves. For years we've sang "[Manager's name]'s, black n amber army" but for some reason since Bruce came in the second part of it has gradually been phased out, and now we're left with this camp, Crystal Palace-esque synchronised clapping affair. It's the kind of song other clubs have a drummer banging along to, and we don't want to be one of those clubs.

What's worse is that it gathers participation from the West and South stands but only for the clapping part so the weird orchestrated clapping is louder than the chanting part. It's like we're expecting him to start stripping.

Was it really that hard to sing the "Black n Amber Army" part?

 

They do sing the black & amber army bit.

 

I definitely hear people singing the Black n Amber Army bit.

 

I tend to sing the "Black n Amber army" bit with a few others around me. But it's definitely done.

 

I reckon the way the 'Steve Bruce' bit is intoned and pronounced satisfies our mesolithic Neanderthal urges.

Everyone together now (purse lips and lower the voice)

right I'm off to drag our lass by the hair into the bedroom.....

 

I haven't heard it in ages. I'll be keeping an ear out at Stoke.

 

We still sing the black n amber army bit as well PLT , maybe get the hearing tested ?

 

I hear it. Problem is it's hard to sing both and easier to sing STEVE BRUCE so most people choose to do that

 

I think that was always the case, but if the second part is still sang, then it's definitely significantly quieter than it used to be.

 

Only time I've heard "Steve Bruce's Black and Amber Army" was at West Brom away.

 

Definitely both bits still sung, around us it seems to be different fans singing the two bits as well (individually, not in big blocks, so I'll be singing one part and the person next to me will then sing the next bit, and it swaps like that). The "Steve Bruce" is louder, but I think that's just easier with the long vowel sounds compared to jamming "black and amber army" into the same time, and obviously the clapping is everyone.

its hard for hull city fans to put six words together?
