Rose tinted specs I think from the OP. In the late 70's early 80's there was a lot of alchohol fuelled anger on the terraces, and back then you could still change ends at half time. Other chants came from the lovely Warbo and often contained references to Gary Conolly and a bag of sweets.

AG AGR etc, It's a long way to Central Station, Everywhere we go-oh etc. Plus there was no originality either.

I've probably said this before but I always imagined the "barmy Army" of the day sat round in a pub discussing this subject.

"I've heard this song in the charts right by Chickory Tip called "Son of the Father". It's a poingiant insight into the discussion that despite cultural environments, technological advences, your basic characteristics and behavioural patterns are genetically set and passed down - moulded, folded and freeze farm dried if you will. we could use that in the Fletcher end".

"Marvellous my man, have you come up with some suitable witty lyric to portray this masterpiece?"

"Well yes as it happens -Oh warry warry .......warry warry ....warry ..... warry ... Warring...ton".

"Fantastic, who's round is it?".

Our "songs" are rubbish, and aside from the odd "WIRES WIRES WIRES" chant and the Wembley songs in the latter rounds of the Cup I don't join in with any of them, unless I've been drinking and its a big game which occassionally sees me get carried away.

The only good song in the whole of rugby league that doesn't belong to Leeds United first and foremost though, is Old Faithful.

I've never really understood why "Warrington Warrington Warrington" never gets sung to that tune to be honest.

It's as easy as you can possibly get but can round rousing if the whole crowd are belting it out.

What about poor wire tommy and 'every other Sunday'

Both originally Rangers songs them if we're being honest about things...

Heard a Ryan Atkins song yesterday, Liverpool sing it about Maxi. A few people singing it yesterday.

"Ryan, oh Ryan Atkins runs down the wing for me, der der der der"

To the tune of 'Heartbeat'

No sure about that how about

'Drinking brews and eating montanas, Wire score a try we all go bananas!'

I think "One Paul Darbyshire, their's only one Paul Darbyshire" is a very appropriate song for the next home game. RIP

hear, hear! That would be a good one, a true star of the 80's/early 90's.

Knew that about 'every other saturday'!

Problem is now, every time United/Liverpool/Everton or any other NW club's fans come up with a half decent effort, that is slightly original, everyone else jumps on board, and creates their 'ill fated version'! That Heartbeat one the scousers came up with this year, will be heard at most top flight football grounds next season, and the HJ !

Nobody with any class, originality or wit. poor!

PS Dropkick, like the sig!

Assuming that St Helens don't race into a 30 point lead by half time, there'll be a cracking atmosphere on Friday. It's nowt to do with the singing or the stadium, it's the opposition (and fans) and the closeness of the match.

That one was the only one I could vaguely stomach yesterday, when we had the misfortune to sit right between the sticks with a gang of kids behind us. [i(I really had to stop myself typing 'youths' there, Christ....)[/i Every 3 minutes, some kid with a voice like a foghorn shouted an observation to the vague tune of any rugby tune thinkable, it was extremely annoying, and don't even get me started with the 'bouncy bouncy' ballcocks.

Chants about people being paedophiles, not funny.

Chanting at kids and pensioners walking past, not funny.

Chanting at the lone vexed up KR bell-end trying to wind us up, OK, that was funny.


Oh,and that Depeche Mode song? For Gods sake, why? It's shlt enough at the football, let's just leave it there.

Geordie what a legend, big drum, big voice, BIG in stature but by gum could make some noise from the terraces!!
What happened to the song about Morley?
Amorley
agood rip roaring song or annoying drumming singing Barmy Army for 25 minutes really annoys the opposition fans Oh ans Stevo.

Bloody hell G they are talking about you as being some kind of musical genius here. Listen if anyone wants to start drumming I have still got a big loud one in the garage but if anyone wants it I will be holding X Factor style auditions looking for the next stick monkey.

And can I say the best atmosphere I have been in during the last 20 years was the CCSF against Wigan. Wilderspool was bloody dreadful most of the time.

So in summary......

No one likes to sing
No one likes to sing ex football songs
No one likes to sing along to 70's or 80's tunes turned into football chants
No one likes drums
No one likes humourous but childish chants
No one likes to sing semi abusive chants (you know like town full of jip o's)
No one likes to Sing Wemberlee wemberlee during Superleague games
No one likes to sing top of the league havin a laugh in June (its a marathon not a sprint)

You lot must be blast when your throwing a party
