old terrace chants.

we hate ntingham forrest etc

 

everywhere we go, people wanna know, who we are,

and so on

 

Barnsley boys, Barnsley boys...

Laced up boots and corduroys

 

Nigel, Nigel, Nigel, Nigel!

in a camp chant to Grimsby's goalie, Nigel somebody-or-other

 

most emotional one was you'll never walk alone, when we got promoted to premier league.

 

Norman Hunters red & white army

ad infinitum

I know we whimper a similar tune now and again but I remember it being defeaning in the early eighties and going on for half the game.

I'm afraid the atmosphere of old Oakwell with 20k+ in will never be repeated no matter how successful we ever become. It used to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Halcyon days.

 

the whole ground shouting "go on" when ronnie picked the ball up on the edge of our area

and set off running the full length of the pitch with it

 

nigel batch

 

the oakwll roar come on you reds

 

I'm pretty sure that back then when this was sung

The Ponty would sing it & then clap whilst the Brewery & West Stand would echo it. The Brewery & West Stand would then clap whilst the Ponty repeated.

I thought that sounded fantastic when you got a roar from the Ponty, either in front of or behind the Reds, depending on the direction of play, & then they players got it in stereo!

 

all we are saying is give us a goal, tojohn lennons give peace a chance

 

Sitting on our asses seems to have dulled the vocal chords

I think its because people dont tend to sit with big groups of friends anymore...and the fact that we just dont play that sort of football these days coupled with 4 years of despair.

 

Yeh it's sitting down that's done it

how many people sing sitting down?

That bird off X-Factor, Robert Wyatt etc excepted

 

(despair) av bin darn oakwell wi less than 3,000 and still sung

 

The club ought to have

a sit where you fecking want day.

Get together with your old mates

sing your hearts out.

 

Good thread mate

Not bad for a new member really got the nostalgia flowing tonight

 

ther's nowt like a bit of nostalgia.try this one sing when were mining we only sing when were mining.

 

They used to have, in the seasons before the Prem

The Ponty used to be unreserved seating. Your ticket gave you access & you sat where there was a space. Since the Prem, it's been "sit where your ticket tells you".

 

its a long way to the station to the station we shall go. youre going home in a f in ambulance. 1970s chants

 

Tiptoe thru the Ponty

Tiptoe through the Ponty
With yer boots on
GET YER HEAD KICKED IN!
Tiptoe through the Ponty with me.
