New Chants

Quoted from bigdavemariner

someone has to get this going. sounds fooking amazing. listen below for 2 fine examples...

That does look fooking brilliant to be honest.

Wouldn't be quite the same with 3000 scattered around BP, but i can see it working and looking/sounding great when we pack some away ends out.

Quoted from Dan_Barker

when i see the grimsby
i go out of my head
and i just cant get enough
and i just cant get enough
everytime the ball
goes into the back of the net
i just cant get enough
i just cant get enough
we're moving higher, back into the league
and i just cant seem to get enough
do do do do do do do do do

apologies if this has already been posted but was listening to depeche mode and thought of it

Just back from watching Donny v Tranmere and the Rovers fans were singing this. I thought their fans were s*** though and their rendition of this wasn't great. Couldn't make out all the words, presumably because it has more than four lines in the song and that stretches the memory too much.

That's the problem I have with it, hate copycat-ing other clubs.

Mentioned the Just can't get enough one a few months back, and like I said, could look really good with 6500 crammed in at the Lincoln home match or at an Away match with our large travelling army! Something definitely needs to be done!

Here's a link on a smaller scale at a less supported club than ourselves, shows it can work!

Thing is with chants like this is it could be anyone in the ground singing it. I don't like it when rival fans start a chant up and Town counter chant to the same tune. Again, the players wouldn't know who was singing and the idea of chanting or singing in my book was to noticeably get behind the team or firmly put down the opposition. Or both! I like the old Millwall response of refusing to engage when they got the "Can you hear the Millwall sing?" A mate of mine said they just stood their with their arms folded, deliberately ignoring the opposition support. I prefer us to be original. We've always copied songs but we seem to have less and less originality nowadays. The way we used to belt out "Mariners" at corners and during games really impressed opposition fans.

We were doing the J Geils Centrefold "nananananana" at N Ferriby last week. What an added goal celebration that used to be and unique to Town in 1982 as I remember. Would love to see that come back though I'm too old to bounce up and down the way I did 30 odd years ago.

I remember being at ST Andrews around 01/02. We were singing 'we are town' and the Birmingham fans all put their fingers to their lips and started going 'shhhhh'. Sounded flippn mental, ten thousand or so people going shhhh at you. I'd never seen that done before till then. It worked as well! We went completely quiet for about 20 mins after that.

Thing is with these songs, there are hundreds out there that would be good to sing at a footy match. Why do we have to copy other people as if there's nothing else that we could use - that would be unique to us.

its all good telling everyone your new chants on here but nobody starts them and even if you do your left on your own because nobody knows it and at bp theyed rather not help you out and follow. you need a big group of people to start it off and keep it going then others will join it  

SWWF is ours isn't it? The trouble is it peters out after 2 runs through. It should be our "dot ball", standard chant we do all the time, the same as with Mariners at corners, for longer than we do it now.

thats because most fans do it twice then stop and leave the odd one or to ta say it again so there on there own and look a tool and they think its funny to laugh at them pathetic if you ask me

different lyrics maybe and forget the hooligans in it.
