...the coppers are after you.
If they catch you, they'll give you a month or two.
They'll tie you up with wire.

So ring your bell, and peddle like hell on a bicycle made for, TWO FOUR SIX EIGHT, WHO DO WE APPRECIATE?
BRIGHTON, clap clap clap.
BRIGHTON, clap clap clap.
The late '60s. Probably the best terrace singing era of football. And the emergence of the original Skinhead culture. You had to experience it as you couldn't imagine how football was then, the complete opposite of "sanitised".

Silly old bat
Our area started singing that after Andone's goal last Tuesday.

One of my favorites - and sung almost every game at some point in our part of the north. Certainly was v Palace last week.
Seriously?
I am in the Northwest corner (N1B) and I haven’t heard it sung in years.
If it is being sung it is not loud enough or being drowned out by other chants. What a shame the North Stand is so passionate but lacking in a co-ordinated effort.

Ay, there's the rub. Or the short end of a very long piece of string. And a topic which has been discussed ad infinitum on here. Among the various solutions proposed have been:
1 Move all the singers to the middle. (And presumably uproot anyone who doesn't consider themself 'a singer'. That's going well at Palace ...)
2 Make the North Stand bigger
3 Get a drummer (puts on tin helmet)
4 Rehearsals/songsheets/loud hailers
5 Safe standing
etc etc
If a co-ordinated effort was simple to achieve, I reckon we would have come up with it by now. The reality is ...
- there are a number of parts of the North that start songs. Sometimes they spread to the whole stand. Quite often they don't.
- the acoustics in our lovely stadium are often unpredictable. One part can't always hear another part. There isn't always a logic to this
- in our section, we'll start a song and sing it, sometimes with adjoining sections joining in. Other times it might be a couple of dozen at best. If there's a louder song happening soon after, we'll abandon ours and join in with that
- it's an organic phenomenon that is hard to 'organise'. Some games rock, other games feel flat. That's how it is.
But rest assured, plenty of the old songs still get sung. Even if they're not heard more widely

Beer, beer, we want more beer
All the lads are cheering
Get the ****ing beers in
In 1983
We went to Wembley
To play Man Utd and make history
Robbo was through and he passed it to Smith.......

I think the thread is about songs at football, not nursery school

I can't remember the whole thing but
My old man said follow the band
And don't dilly dally on the way
We took the shed with the Chelsea boys in it
We took the north bank in half a minute
With bottles and spanners
Carving knives and hammers
We taught the cockneys how to run and fight.

An old tribute to Perry Digweed. An unfortunate and wince inducing legacy of that tackle to his tackle against West Brom.

"Der, der, der der" etc. (Funeral March) for an injured opposition player, followed by "let him die, let him die, let him die" when the Physio (bloke with a bucket of water and a sponge) ran on
Laughing Policeman.
"I knew a friendly copper, his name was PC Green,
He came into the North Stand to see what could be seen,
But once he got inside there, he got a big surprise,
He got a ****ing half brick, right between the eyes,
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho, ha ha ha ha ha"
To the tune of oops upside your head.
"You'll get a boot wrapped round your head,
You'll get a boot wrapped round your head."
"We'll see you all outside"
"come join us, come join us, come join us over here"
"Were gonna nick your sweets and lollipops" if the opposition giving it death threats were seen as juveniles
"The Palace sing, I don't know why, cos after the match, their going to die" followed by "You will die, you will die, you will die"
In dredging these up from my memory, I am finding myself stuck between thinking how much better it is now without the aggro, and how much better it was then despite the aggro, or maybe because of the aggro.
