I get embarressed by "Y'army"

[TheNewBoy 0]

I just have to say this, I dont understand how the fantastic "Yella Army" chant has turned into the cringeworthy "Y''army"..... Everytime I take a non-City fan to an away game I subsequently get months of them taking the ''P'' out of the strange incoherent noises. It makes us all sound like stereotypical canary callers..... and I get called a farmer because of it. Even my missus, a Northern lass, said that we have great supporters (a convert by the way), but never fails to tell her friends and family how it freaks her out when she hears a load of Norfolk accents making some weird noise....

I sing along at full voice to every single song away from home, apart from that one, it makes me cringe. I will probably now get hundreds of people slating me, I am prepared for that and willing to take everything that you throw at me, but I am curious as to whether anybody does sit and nod in agreement.....

Thers nothing wrong with the y''army itself but its just how often we sing it that is the problem.

We''ve been singing Y''army for years haven''t we? The fanzine of the same name has been around for ages. All together now...Y''AAAAAAAARMMMYYYYYYYYY!!!!

[The Walking Man 13]

I thought it was clever that we cut out the syllables by adding the '' to make it Y''army, rather than yellow army with is abit more of a mouthfull.

I am convinced that it was a little more Yella Army.... than it is now..... about a decade ago. How about ''Green Army''.... that would be alright, unless it gets changed to "G''army"

Forget it..... I must be having a slow day! Hardest away day of the year tomorrow... and I''m talking about a load of rubbish!

Yep..... Fail!

I think that adverts great lol

Nope. Y''Army is unique. I like it.

A little bit more of that and less of the ''On the Ball City'' dirge would be welcome by me. Fine to start a half or at the end of the game with it but that''s all thanks very much.

If the past is anything to go by, the more success we get the better our songs become eg the McNamee one.

I agree NewBoy. We''ve a real tough one tomorrow so chants should not be top of our discussions. Still stops me getting too nervous and am now consulting my Good Pub Guide to try and feed the Bury Yellas!

Couldn''t agree more. Some firms seem to think that Building Regulations are optional.......

Do Town fans shout ''B''army?''

The Y''Aaaarmy is perfect. Whenever someone within earshot of me at matches starts needlessly moaning and whingeing about players i yell it at the top of my voice. Soon drowns them out when everyone else joins in [Y]

Don''t know why we are worried about this - Y''army is part of what we are. Today you will hear two of the oldest football songs in the game - OTBC and ''Smile a While'' from HTAFC
