[East Grinstead Royal]

Old McDonald had a farm
Ei-ei-o

On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
A Phillip Parkinsonnnnn.

On the second day of Christmas,

Two Parkinson's and a Phillipppp Parkinsonnn.

Etc.

I've got a copy of an old Biscuitmen song at home in which the fans sing about the team being bright and gay.

Will upload it when I get a chance.

All about the right side of the Bank... "Left siders, oxf*rd oxf*rd oxf*rd, left siders, oxf*rd oxf*rd oxf*rd."

We're the left side, We're the left side, We're the left side of the stand.

Left side > Right side = FACT!

Around pillar H was the place to be, ideally just in front of it so you had something to lean against when your back started to ache from all that standing up.

[Forbury Lion]

"Steve Stone, There's only one Steve Stone" sung to some confused opposition player who missed a sitter.

[East Grinstead Royal]

Can't believe no-one's mentioned, "You're so loud you sound like Aldershot."

Nothing beats the good old "Come on you Royals" when a corner's being taken.

Really? I prefer a good rendition of "Come on Reading" being shouted/sung with some venom as opposed to "Come on you Royals" that makes us sound like a right bunch of woofters.

Agreed.

Many times, although I'm not sure what that has to do with it. It was a chant used by Reading in the late 70s, early 80s. "You're so shit it's unbelievable" was used around then as well.

I went to an England game in the early 90s when this was sung at, I think, Norway supporters. LOLZ all round.
