Chants we should adopt

by Reading4eva » 24 Mar 2014 20:35

As we are now a feared football club (according to the Chronicle) we need some songs!

I think this should start it! Substitute red with blue

A big yes to both of those, but I wont hold my breath. We always seem to be reluctant to adopt anything catchy and noisy just because we want to buck a trend and remain predictable and silent.

Too laboured. Liverpool chants are usually a lot better than that.

And the Coventry one sounds like a collective mid-life crisis.

EXACTLY. yet our fans always refuse to adopt anything like this or Sparta's suggestion because they claim it's chavvy or over used elsewhere. it leaves us with blue army and a lot of clapping.. unless we are at home to a large away following who like to play up, we are boring as hell.

Yeah again, maybe it's the pain from my stomach, but I'm still not quite getting it. You're accusing people of not being prepared to copy others and then acknowledging that we copy others.

It's all very well talking about these things on the internet but there is only one place where you can get songs going and they can catch on.

My point is simple. Our support is dreadful. When any decent chants are suggested, they always get shot down on here because others sing them, or they're deemed chavvy, or because 'we don't want to be another one of those clubs copying the rest'. Me, well I like noise at games, so it really would be nice to take some of these on occasionally or dare I say it, alter something so it's different enough to be ours.

You should, you could have a turtle that's tiny and is called Tim - after you.

Tiny Tim
Bring back Terry and June
ALF Tequila
Shame Mapps left, even if our fans are too retarded to get something as simple as 500 miles right (Compo and I got that working beautifully at AFC Wimbledon pre season.... before he signed).
From the same game bring back Floyds "Jonny Fordham takes it up the arse" and multiple variations of chant... still applicable, or for Nick Gutteridge from the Chronicle. Lol, Gutteridge.

Lastly, adapt "we are the cheeky girls" for "we are the hoolihoops" 8)
