"we''re going up the leaguewe''re going up the leaguewe''re going up, up, up, up, up the leagueweeeeeeeeeee - eeeeeeeeeee''re going up the league"the last line was well stretched out

sadly all that fun has gone and we are left with a massively farked up OTBC and endless versions of Sloop J Bboring dirges

[Trevor Hockeys Razor Blade 0]

Sorry, can''t seem to reply without a quote, but...

Another one I remember from that era was:

"In your (insert opposition name) slums

You look in a dustbin for something to eat

You find a dead cat and you think it''s a treat

In your 1p5wich (dramatic licence) slums"

That was a good un.

[Trevor Hockeys Razor Blade 0]

And then the quote doesn''t appear. Sigh.

[Bill 1,788]

I can remember "top of the pops" from the 40''s (Sugarbush, Hold me, Slow boat to China, Mule train, etc) but I was not in Norwich in those days. Does anyone remember the chants of that time and how they went? A virtually all standing ground must have shown some life.

The strange thing is ,,, it was only ever the Barclay that made much noise as I remember ,,, and that was back in the late 60''s onwards.

[Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0]

Having said that ... My mum used to sit in the old city stand . In those days there were cushions on some of the seats , and it was more than one occasion when they would be hurled onto the pitch to show a dissatisfaction with a referee decision , or the way a match was going . From the City Stand !!

Funny to think back about that , if you did it now , banned for life more likely !

[Bill 1,788]

you had to hire the cushionsand any ''wrong''  decision (it was not a call as the ref blew a whistle and didn''t shout anything out)brought out the cry from the Barclay of " bring on the cushions"when they did come on they did so spasmodically over a few minutes rather than one huge rushI believe it was seen as an accepted part of the game that the ''posh'' folk could show their disapproval

as to chanting in the 60''s it was mostly singing, which just carried on from the pubI do remember being in the River end in the 70''s, sunny day and some Huddersfield fans were chanting"Top of the leagueTop of the leagueHuddersfieldHuddersfield"

kick em in the head with an Airwear boot oh yeah oh yeah

Shoot em in the head

shoot em in the head

shoot em in the head with a chieftain tank oh yeah oh year

Can''t remember the rest !

[lake district canary 4,879]

When I first started going in the late sixties as a child, the only thing I can remember being chanted apart from OTBC was  "In the net, In the net" at corners and free kicks.   It seemed we were known for not chanting anything much before 1972 when we got to the top flight. Is that true?    Were these songs/chants sung in the fifties and sixties, or was the seventies the start of it?
