I was very anti-ultra when they first started to infiltrate EP. Not that enamoured now, but recognise that it is the way the young uns like to show their support for God's own team and they are carrying on the noisy tradition in their own way. God forbid, anyone tried to tell me I could not sing "After the turn of the Century", "Those were the Days", "Streets of Stockport", "Super Kev", "Man from Uruguay". "The Anthem", "Arthur Brownlow", "When I was young and lazy", "Shit on Lou", "Oh Wigan", "Pride of Cheshire", "Les Bradd scored", "Beefheart Kicked", "Come on you County fans", "Who put the ball in Citehs net", "Crewe, Crewe yer barstewards Crewe", "United shit Citeh worse" et al. It would be messy. Even when i was young and lazy i was never one to join in much with the singing and even less so now. However i love to hear the others doing it even though the new breed of songs are a much of a muchness. Those you have listed will never be forgotton even if we do not hear much of em now. |

For making a good noise I really like hello hello we are the County boys song ( I know it's not original)but I really don't like the last bit about stamping on a Burnley fan, it should be so easy to change as well, we should have something we can all join in with, it won't matter that we're singing different words as some will still sing the crap words. Right with you there. I don't sing that bit. Even for a football song that is too much as isn't the full line "until the f*cker dies"? Really should be changed. We could sing the original"and if you are a Burnley fan surrender or you die" it still involves the death of the Lancashire goblins but it's less graphic, in fact that's what I'm going to do. |

It would be messy. Those will never die amongst a certain generation, myself included & the odd one does filter down to the young'uns occasionally, but things evolve & i've largely enjoyed the atmosphere created by the younger generation & credit has to go them because it started when we were at our lowest point in the NLN, the drum, flags, songs, & even the odd bit of smoke all added life & colour to our support at a time when it could of evaporated completely. |

Yeah, at least we're giving them the option to surrender then, far more gentlemanly.  |

Just a concept and is copying arsenals for arteta and maybe some others I don't know but we can't just rely on having our own unique songs. Not many teams do, also would need a little tweaking. It's a quicker chant but one that I think would work and isn't du du du "insert name" du du du
"we've got super dave challinor he knows exactly what we need, Wright at the back paddy in attack" and 1 more line which I can't really think of.
It's somewhat close to another of our chants in a way but we don't need the drum which is a plus as we can't take the drum everywhere and the lyrics aren't hard, depending on what the final line is.

On the subject of player songs, why do we get favourites and then sing them regardless of whether the player is on the pitch or not? I realise the Horsfall song is the flavour of the month at present but it seemed a bit crass singing it over and over again while his replacement was back for the first time in weeks and doing a really good job of deputising for him. We used to do that if we wanted someone subbed on, not just for the hell of it.
Like the 'Your support is flipping sh1t' song, we seem quite adept at singing them at the wrong times without any consideration for the context.

Every club is doing this at the minute. Sounds crap IMO. And whiney. |

Horrible sectarian drivel. We’re better than that. |

I agree, I'm sure we sung the support song at home to Sutton. We need more chants with and without the drum. We can't rely on the drum for every time we want to chant and nor can we rely on chants being unique that we sing and always from a tune that most of ut3 haven't heard of. I noticed on Saturday some old songs were being sung, I'll admit I didn't know some of them but it sounded abit poo tbh because about 5 people knew the words. Can we stop the "bounce around if you love County" too, a chant like that only look some what decent if everyone in the section of fans is doing it and all in unison. |

The Connor Dimaio song was the worst example of the former, it was sometimes trotted out when the lad wasn't even on the bench. As for the latter, that wants binning along with the Is this a/Football in a library chants. |

Yellow Block usually respond with "Is that a nursery?". |

We're going up the football league. Sat with my youngest through the Newcastle game on Sunday and because I refuse to acknowledge that any football song isn't about County (to the kids) I told him they were singing about Croasdale in the middle. He liked it. Then Liverpool were singing about Will Collar, Collar lar lar. He was sold on that too. I thought I was a lyrical genius  |

As it's that Whamageddon time of year, I was wondering who we, as County fans, are planning to give our collective heart to this Christmas. It's been Courtney Meppen-Walter and (IIRC) Jason Oswell among others in the past.
