This is a thread i thought would be worth starting, not sure if its been done before or if it was successful? Someone will post a link if thats the case and apologies in advance....
With a lot of posters requesting the old songs, no-one knows the new songs etc I thought if anyone knows any songs or chants would they please post them here so the drummer and any singers/chanters can have access to the material. This sort of thing was passed down through generations or learnt in the playground and later pubs etc but its a technological age and online is where its at!
As posted on the drummers thread, i'llkick off with my favourite,
You fill up my senses, like a barrel of tetleys
Like a packet of woodbines, like a good pinch of stuff/snuff?
Like a night out in nuns-thorpe, like a greasy chip butty
The super black and whites, come fill me again.
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Town!
And Fish, clap clap, clap clap clap. Fish, clap clap, clap clap clap. Fish and repeat.
Hopefully some of the older songs which mean so much to GTFC and the supporters who sang them will find their way on here and the history will be repeated.
UTM.

Footie fan My old man said follow the Town, And don't dilly dally on the way, We'll take Scunthorpe and all that's in it, We'll take Lincoln in half a minute, With hatchets and hammers, Carving knives and spanners, We'll show the b*stards how to fight, With a kick in the head, And a kick in the b*llocks. We'll be here all night...

I don't know if there is a particular tune to this, it's a chant and I know it from my dad. Though have never heard it chanted at a town game since I have been going. Think I know how it goes though. Just chant it as it's typed.

Quite like the idea of the rod stewart song, different for sure. Would love us to have an iconic song just of our own. Cannot help but feel envious when stoke sing delilah, or liverpool youll never walk alone, even hi ho wolverhampton at full blast is flipping impressive, and celtic singing just cant get enough and rangers penny arcade are massive. Trouble is these are sung by entire grounds not just 30 young lads in the pontoon, any new song really does have to take off or it would sound pants, it has to be sung by all to have any efffect.

I remember we sang a version of my old mans a dustman about Liam hearn at Alfreton away last season. It went like this
Oooh Liam Hearn is magic he wears a magic hat, And when came round calling he said I fancy that, He scores them with his left foot, He scores them with his right, And when he goes out on the town, He scores all flipping night..

I'm going back to the late 80's, early 90's now when this little ditty was doing the rounds at most Town away games. Factually incorrect on more than one count though!
Similar to the "Everywhere we go" chant sung by The Pontoon now, one person sang the line and the rest joined in after.
"Everywhere we go, The people wanna know, Where the hell are you from, We are from Grimsby, Supersonic Grimsby, Haddock and chips, One pound fifty, Buy em from the Seaway, Number One chippy, Wine and diiiiine, At the Pier39, Everywhere we go, The people wanna know,
We got the best team in the land, we got the best team in the land etc etc.

It seems years ago grimsby used to be a place opposition players didn't like to come purely because of the home support but that has since died and whilst the players are doing their bit we should do that little bit more after all we have something to sing about being top and if we want BP to be a place of fear and intimidation we need to up the noise levels and chant for longer than a few mins. One game I remember very well during the Buckley years was when we played Stoke at home i think we won 1-0 and the away support didn't stop singing all game the atmosphere it created was incredible and made our win the more enjoyable until the final whistle when they tried to get on the pitch and cause crowd trouble snapping the crossbar in the process.

Some really good stuff on here, hope we are able get them sung on match days. I think we should use the chants as pure entertainment when the game isn't very entertaining too, not just to get behind the team.
I go by the saying, "if I ain't entertained by the game, I'll make my own entertainment." After all we all pay to be there.
I remember a chant I mentioned when before we played Forest Green but never used it, it's a funny (ish) one.
Beans! Beans! Are good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you fart.
I know a couple on here liked it when I mentioned it before so thought it be worth mentioning again.
That Ken Barlow song would be good too.

All noise is good so not sure I'd say it doesn't help (and also question some of the e.g. "kill yorkies" lyrics too !). But was gonna make a similar point too tbh.
Nothing wrong with it but are we in danger of only singing songs cos we enjoy them ? Or focusing our effort on what helps the team as well ?
Give me joy in my heart keep him scoring Give me joy in my heart I pray Give me joy in my heart keep him scoring Keep him scoring to the break of day Sing Ross Hannah, Sing Ross Hannah, Sing Ross Hannah to the king of kings
Would love to hear all of BP sing that slow... But what do you think ? Improvements ? Changes ? Too long ? Possibly not if we agree on the words and learn them ?
Also like "beside the seaside" but wonder if a few of the lyrics e.g. "With me hatchet in me hand, Killing yorkies on the sand,"
might be a bit "irrelevant" ?
How about....
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, Oh I do like to be beside the sea, Oh I do like to sing in with the Pon Pon Pon Where the Towns fan sing Tiddely Om Pom Pom Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, Oh I do like to be beside the sea, When we're down here at BP (or on the clee) We're beside ouselves with glee Beside the seaside, beside the sea...

My ideas.... Try listening to it and sing along
We are winning, we are winning At Home again, cross the sea. We are sailing, stormy waters, To be top of, BSP
Town are flying, Town are flying, Like a bird cross the sky. Town are flying, passing high clouds To be out of, BSP
Can you hear me ? Can you hear me ? Thro the dark times, you're away ! I am dying, forever trying, To be with you, who can say.
We are Grimsby ! We are Grimsby ! Thro the dark times, home and away I am dying, forever trying, To be with you, who can say.
We are fishing, we are fishing, Home again cross the sea. We are fishing, Joey Waters ! To be near you, to be free.

one thing i must say is I'm impressed with our fans chants. I've been to the past 2 Exeter home games and every 2 out of 3 songs are songs about how much the hate Plymouth. I said to my mate aren't you supposed to be singing songs for your team?

I think we should just sing these 2 verses;
Can you hear me, can you hear me, Thro the dark night far away. I am dying, forever trying, To be with you, who can say.
We are sailing, we are sailing, Home again cross the sea. We are sailing stormy waters, To be near you, to be free.
x2. Or the just last verse;
We are sailing, we are sailing, Home again cross the sea. We are sailing stormy waters, To be near you, to be free.

Fair enough but like I said, are you gonna be able to jump straight in with "Can you hear me" ? Maybe I'm wrong but it just feels a bit strange and a bit odd. Suppose you could cut it down to 4 but ATEOTD it's up to you and everyone else.

Think when one starts with the first bit, Can you hear me? (Then others jump in here), can you hear me? (Or on the next line). It's the same when we do the "sing when we're fish" one. Sing when we're fishing! (then everyone jumps in with...) We only sing when we're fishing. Etc etc.

Just personally (and it's only me) I would go...

Only lines that have changed from the original are in bold.

I do like your version though 80s. It be great if we could get the song going and last til it's finished. But the younger lads are more for modern short and fast beated typ chants and songs. So would be too long and slow for them. But a couple of verses should get them on board, just like "you fill up my senses."
Think unless we get a group together and count quietly 1, 2, 3, then start the song after 3. Then it would have to be a loud mouth like myself to start it with the first line or first couple of lines.

One other thing I was gonna say though, you know you said "But the younger lads are more for modern short and fast beated typ chants and songs."
Take your point and they can have them but wouldn't it be great for everyone if we had this a bit similar to "You'll Never Walk Alone" ?
My point is, if you're trying to fill the whole ground with noise, short snappy tunes are always necessarily the best ?

Yeh it would be great. I'm sure if we can get it sorted for a few older lads, like the shufflers in the pontoon to start then others will follow. The young uns, I have realised that just like me a lot of them look up to the older fans (though the older fans don't seem to like it LOL).

Well put that wrong really and kinda stereotyped, sorry.
The shufflers are always alright and good bunch and want us to join them, but there a few other that I have heard say "tell the kids to f*ck off back to the corner" and other comments not much diferent to that. Also heard/read comments on here and else where about "kids." Such as "there are too many 'kids' in the pontoon" and stuff like that. Which is daft because age, looks, etc etc shouldn't even matter because all that should matter is that we support the same club and all want to get behind the lads.

No need to apologise, I was just suprised older fans wouldn't like younger ones looking up to them and was just a bit suprised.
Sorry to hear those stories and when I say "kids" or young uns I don't mean to be derogatory or make anyone feel any less valued.
Why do you think they said "tell the kids to f*ck off back to the corner" ? No-one wants their thunder stealing ?

Oh BTW Meza just in case you didn't know that "It's all your fault" was a joke cos it's a chant often heard at grounds ? Don't worry I'm not blaming anyone just in case you thought I was.

One or two might of been about seats but think the majority (though when I say majority I've heard it about 4 times in the last league home games only) because of they don't like the noise and joining in. There's a big divide in the pontoon, I don't really know why, but left side above the tunnel (left of the goal facing the osmand) most of the fans there like to be vocal and join but then you only have to go across the stairs and most fans that side (the right side) are sat quiet with the odd one or two clapping and maybe singing/chanting. I didn't realise this though until we had moved to join the shufflers in the middle(ish). Think you would have to see it for yourself really to get an idea of what I mean.

Strange it may be but yep, there are a few in pontoon that don't like the noise, some say it's because of the chants and songs sang but I have noticed that even when they sing old(ish) songs like, Three little birds, Can't help falling in love, and others, they still don't seem to like it. There is a divide between fans, I don't know what exactly know what it is but I have noticed it on here, and at BP. Though away games is completely different, I have no idea why that is either.

I'm getting the feeling gary that its not so much an age thing as a personality thing. I'm a shuffler, older as you would say :B and we're desperate to up the noise level and reclaim some of the energy the pontoon delivered in "yesteryear" but i'm seeing younger lads and lasses around us not even watching the game sometimes, playing on their phones and heading off for a hotdog with ten minutes of the first half left! Similarly, lots of older ones bitching about which songs are sung and why everythings so shite nowadays, it's bizarre. My vision is one where the more people get involved, the more it will spread and the happiness will return. People will usually join in if they're surrounded by it, and my opinion is, if you're in the ponny you're there for a reason. To make some noise and do some shuffling! The best thing about the noisy corner coming over to us was removing the divide, all of a sudden there was a larger group and that in itself co-erced (sp) more around us to join in. Lots more of that please pontoon army.
Ultimately, all of blundell park will be singing, it's just a matter of time. ;D :D

My simplistic version goes something like this...
We are fishing We are fishing Stormy waters Out to sea
We are fishing We are fishing Just to watch you Play again
We are fishing Stormy waters Bring us home (or) Make us proud again To our Grimsby (or) Our Grimsby
We are fishing Just to watch you Bring us home again Back from sea.
Finish with... (work in progress / artistic license)
Stormy WATERS Bonettis corners Whittles elbow Livvos nose
Buckleys aces Shankleys greatest The Wembley double Mendoncas goals
We are fishing, we are fishing, we are Grimsby, home again.
Thoughts? simple but effective i'm going for.

Must admit I like it when the opposition try to wind us up with "Sing when your fishing you only sing when your fishing."
Then we come back twice as loud with "SING WHEN WERE FISHING WE ONLY SING WHEN WERE FISHING.SING WHEN WERE FISHING WE ONLY SING WHEN WERE FISHING." it goes on for ages and really pissis the opposing fans off, lol It's like red rag to a bull looks and sounds very impressive especially when we sing it in each stand. Really cranks up the atmosphere. Shitt it's in my head now I can hear all the town lads singing it.

yeh, I'd have one. Bit quiet in the corner today only about 10/15 of us was making any noise out of about 30/40 maybe more. Shocking lol. Ah well, won't be at the next FA trophy game saving money for Lincoln, but going to Wrexham at home (ST holder), should be a good 4,000 for that one. UTM.

In my opinion i dont think there actually that bad. I just think the old drummer Gilly was particually good. At times they need to tone it down but apart from that to be fair i cant grumble

Last home game of 2012 against Wrexham. Thining of starting a new thread but see how it goes on here first.
Will everyone be turning up in santa hats or costumes? I am and I am encouraging others to do he same. Hats only a pound from Pond shops. Think it will be ace with the festive theme. Let's enjoy it and make a lot of noise, let's face we have been able to enjoy going to town games this season so let's show the club that we enjoy it, and long may it continue. Let's have a laugh and create an ace atmosphere. Get into the festive spirit. UTM.
