Do the Barmy Army makes chanting noises when they are in England?

Question

or do they only do the noise when they are in another country?

I have yet to hear them in this match (England vs NZ)

Answer 1

Unlikely to happen at Lords!!. With the stricter rules at Lords there are less members of the Barmy Army there. BUT yeah they do chant just as loud here in England, the loudest and most frequent chants are heard at Edgbaston, Old Trafford and Headingley (especially 1st day).

So to sum up, its unlikely that you will hear many chants at Lords, but if you keep watching all through the summer then you will see more and more of the Barmy Army

Answer 2

well i imagine the chants will go up and some point, however as Kook said, being at lords they will probably be a little more circumspect than normal, however when they move on the the next test and the weather gets a little warmer, and the beer kicks in the chants will be louder

truth be told, cricket wouldnt be the same without the barmy army, if it wasnt for them we would only have 11 poms to be "having a dig at" when the ashes are on!

Answer 3

They are ususually pretty noisy anywhere...but its been wet and miserable weather today, so give them a break!

Answer 4

Yep, come up to Birmingham later in the summer for a proper atmosphere - most of them are Birmingham City FC fans probably, which is why they chant so much!

Answer 5

KooKee's right, if you want a great atmosphere come join us down at Edgbaston! Especially during the Ashes series, we tend to go a bit mental lol. I know a lot of the players like it here aswell because we don't hold back.

But yes, the chants are just as loud and creative in England as they are elsewhere! Over in New Zealand a new chant was created for Ambrose which was rather good, I'm hoping to hear that again soon! :)

Answer 6

got to agree with newfy, its day 1 and the beer will just be reaching the parts it should do.

Answer 7

What would cricket be without the Barmy Army? KooKee would know where they will be seen.

Answer 8

dont worry it will happen its a bit cold at the moment ,and they have to wait for the beer to kick in  lol
