I once posted a to a thread asking if 'chanting or singing' actually happened at 'sports gatherings' in the US of A ?? I'm not sure if it does.

There is a lot of humour within the chants. Unfortunately because now everyone is sitting down in their own seat and probably not even sitting beside their mates we seem to be losing some of that special atmosphere added to the large nos. of the corporate 'suits' at the matches it's not quite the same.

There has been lot's of times, especially at the 'Toon' when the singing has been better than the football.

Actually Conrad I've never thought of it tradionally but you are absolutely right. I cringe when I hear 'the young-ins' sing the Harry Roberts chant, I expect that even some of the constabulary have no idea what they are singing about...

I tell you what I'll sing a song in your honour at St James Park on Sunday.....( Thora Hird & Songs of Praise eat your heart out )
