    Best: The Ronnie Glavin's always scoring/ponty roaring. And a mention for D.I.W@nkio

    Worst: The racist chanting/gestures towards Brian Deane and Tony Agana in the 2nd replay of our FA Cup tie v Sheffield United in 1990. I was 15 at the time and it's still the foulest and worst thing I've ever heard from Barnsley supporters.

    I saw one man chant on his own "How big is your shirt, how big is your shirt, it must be MASSIVE, how big is your shirt" at a rotund Wednesday fan.

    Don't know if best or worst - but it made me laugh as it sounded like he'd not thought about the third line before he started so had to improvise something that didn't quite make sense on the spot.

    Yeah, I was 11 and I still remember it really vividly. Loads of people throwing bananas onto the pitch when they were taking corners. Shocking.

    That reminds me of a really bad one. Grimsby away mid 80s.

    Zigger Zigger Zigger. Grimsby's got a N-****-r-
    Zigger Zagger Zoo. We've got two.

    Thing is, I remember everyone laughing at it.

    Thankfully times have changed.

    Edited to suit [MENTION=54112]dustani[/MENTION] who should really know that I don't support such a chant, in fact I was pointing out how bad it was.

    The other week during the Midlands derby on Sky Sports between Birmingham and Villa when the home fans sang......

    We'll see you outside.
    We'll see you outside.
    We're Birmingham City.
    We'll see you outside.

    Amusing sang to Aston Villa fans, not so amusing when they no doubt sing it to our away following in our next away game.

    Best- our version of the chip butty song. Made even funnier by their announcer keeping on playing it even though we drowned it out

    Worst- Red suspenders chant

    Best: The Bobby Hassell song and D I W***io

    Worst: "If you want a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club". The old supporters club can hang their heads in shame at that one.

    Best. Ronnies always scoring. Or 'Norman Hunters Reds n White Army" for 90 mins at Chesterfield away one boxing day, early 80s.
    Worst (by ours). 'Shankley's dead" as a 'witty' reply to Liverpool going 3-1 up in that 2nd leg return at Oakwell.

    Leeds service crew got into West Upper behind me mid 80s. I spent most of the match ducking objects thrown between them and West Lower. Their 'leader' was a big Pringle clad West Indian lad. He led the constant chorus of 'trigger, trigger, trigger, shoot that ni%%%% ' aimed at Winnie or Cunningham. What the pheck was going on in his head?

    Thankfully my kids have never gone through that. But after Millwall last year there was a reminder the undercurrent is still there.

    Can someone type out the red suspenders song? I've heard a few try & sing it but either most don't know the words or don't want to join in & it never gets properly going.

    The worst one is '...........'s a shithole, I wanna go home'. Terrible chant, never join in

    Agree, everyone sings it so it's meaningless. It'll die soon

    One of my favourites only got sung once I think - Oldham away in 2005/06. "Burns baby Burns, Disco Devaney, Burns baby Burns". To the tune of Disco Inferno. Absolutely brill but we sold Jacob shortly afterwards!

    Also "He's fat, he's round, he's taking Wednesday down... Ron Atkinson, Ron Atkinson"

    Bobby Hassell chant is very very clever, just a shame it never caught on with the mass of our stands, being a bit complicated and blue!

    I don't get why threatening violence is amusing, particularly given their fans behaved like utter scum after the 2000 playoff away leg

    Away at Plymouth years ago "I've got a shed, as big as you" to this fat knacker that spent the entire game goading our fans

    Worst was "Jimmy Saville is your dad" away at Leeds a few seasons back. Rubbish, unfunny and not clever
