Jules 0 Posted February 21, 2015 I''ve been taking a trip down memory lane of late and have been enjoying watching some legacy games on Youtube. What strikes me is that back in the day our fans sang our famous song ''On the Ball City'' at half the pace we do today. Anyone remember when it got sped up? Anyone want to slow it down again? Just curious... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
? 0 Posted February 21, 2015 Its more of a chant than a song at the moment, needs to slow down and also sing it as a song not a chant! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Elftard, I went to Avenue Road Middle School while you were living in cosmopolitanWinnipeg. Bore, your ridiculous chant fails on so many levels, the most obvious being that it is way too long to ever be heard at a match. Also, simple, catchy chants are the ones fans use, not choral arrangements The Vienna Boys Choir would have trouble wrapping their minds around. Mine is easy and fun, yours is Don Quixote. It rambles on about minutiae without actually inspiring team or fan. Mor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were other candidates, such as "Court of the Crimson King" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", but if you want terrace chanting to reach its true potential then you need to dive in at the deep end.Ideally the Barclay would have started this chant, the Jarrold filling in with backing vocals and general ambience, and the Snake Pit would have played the role of "the robot", angrily questioning everything that had gone before.In time, it would have been played from four giant quadrophonic speakers installed in the roof of the Holiday Inn you know and love so well, intimidating opposition players and rendering a subliminal form of "brown noise" to sweep through the away fan terraces and leave them soiled in their own filth. It is not out of the question that Gary Holt, wearing a black cape and carrying the head of a freshly decapitated lamb to the centre circle, would have led the air guitar solo.Still, you either get it or you don''t.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted February 22, 2015 An all-time favourite, updated with current players:[quote user="RUDOLPH HUCKER"]Picture yourself in a stand called The River With tangy entrees and marvellous pies Butler calls Forbesy, who answers quite slowly A team-sheet he carefully eyes Hoolahan playing in yellow and green Jerome towering over his head Looks out for Becchio - no FA surprise,Cos’ he’s gone. {CHORUS}Loosely in disguise the diamond,Loosely in disguise the diamond, Loosely in disguise the diamond, Ah... Ah... {VERSE 2} At one nil down we are climbing a mountain The trolls rub their hands, they all smell humble pie Everyone smiles: Grabban drifts past defenders He scores: an incredible high. Newspaper headlines appear on the floor Waiting to be taken away Climbing the league with our head in the clouds And we’re strong {CHORUS} Picture yourself on a train in a station, With binmen for porters with tears in their eyes. McCarthy and coaches appear on the platform, All clutching their P45’s. {CHORUS REPEATED AND FADED}[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
