Check this out. It suggests that this has preceded OTBC by about 10 years, therefore have we lost our crown as holders of the oldest football song?

We''re the oldest *still sung* football song. Is this song still sung...?

We were never the just "the oldest"... that would be impossible to ascertain.

The article refers to a song about football.  It doesnt seem to mention that it was sung AT a match

I think you will find that Knapton Narcoleptics FC have a song that outdates OTBC and is still sung at their matches to this day, I believe it goes something like this:

Knapton yokels sing this song, ooh arr!!, ooh arr!!

Knapton yokels sing this song, ooh arr, ooh arr, aye

Gonna sleep all night, gonna fart all day

Gotta keep my wildebeeste replete

And they don`t half eat a loy of hay

Only right they should sing the oldest song sitting on the oldest shaded, faded yellow plastic seat in the world SoB! [;)]

But then maybe it''s not plastic either.

Not fair is it what we locals have to put up with is it?

Maybe that''s why they fade - and SoB''s faster than most?
