Wanderers Ways. Neil Thompson 1961-2021

I know that for us its been a bit of a bone of contention about terrace chants , but Im thinking more of away fans.  None of this Ferry type shit , sign on wank , proper songs .

The bolton fusiliers always gave me goose bumps at full flow.  Im sure that for half a season the " ooh aah , ooh aah , proud to be a Wanderer " was a top chant and intimidating as fuck (at least I thought it was when I was down south).

I loved the Burnden Bounce to Stop the cavalry when the whole away end of Leeds fans joined in and it was a great game even tho we lost .

And the "youre not boinging anymore" is still one of my best away days . (the afters were stuff of legends as well ) . 

Stoke City joining in with "The Whites are Going Up"  and the Burnden side singing Delilah , is something Id never thought Id see , and will never happen again in my lifetime. 

I thought Blue Moon was pretty good , the Poznan thing was cringe in the extreme tho . 

Only other ones that got the short hairs standing up was West Brom - The lord is my shepherd (proper old school)  and The taffys singing Men of Harlach (sp) 

What have i missed ?

"Who let the pigs out" as the cops walked round the ground 10 minutes from time at Barnsley in 2001 promotion season. Holdsworth scored.

To the tune Volare by Dean Martin.

Arsenal fans at the Reebok, night match some time during Big Sam's time.

Not like me but Celtic fans on learning of Andy Gorams schizophrenia was very witty.

"There's only two Andy Gorams, two Andy............."

I loved one reportedly sung at MK Dons franchise fans by some home fans sympathetic to the original Wimbledon, who were knocking around some minor southern league when starting again from scratch. They were playing away in Somerset that day and the chant from the anti MK home fans... "You're supposed to be at Frome". Genius.

Great recollections of some old classics, great memories.

We’d be wrong to dismiss some of our more recent efforts though.

Don’t know if it’s an age thing, but for decades our originality and “terrace” renditions have been bland and repetitive.

I Don’t know if it’s because I’m in the presence of younger adults now who are at the heart of our terrace songs, but we’ve had some crackers recently.

Stone Roses one

ACD’s Spirit in the sky

Gales sway song

I wish Cissoko was a better player - his wham one is funny

What’s the lyrics to the ACD one?

He's our winger, he's our number nine ("teen!")

He hates the bastards in the blue and white ("scum!")

On loan from Brighton FC

And he goes by the name of Duberry

Almost a football clichés highlighted purely factual song there, with no bigging him up. Just needs something like "he plays football in navy and white" in that second line

Or "he's got a healthy respect for the team in blue and white" to continue the factual theme.

A bit like the one that starts "we hate Nottingham Forest", which unless you support Derby or maybe Notts County, is never going to be anything other than poetic license.

"Plays football for the super whites" would be decent fit. 

I like that chant but also hate the fact we bring them bastards into it. Feeds their thinking we rate them.

You can always pretend it's referring to Blackburn?

Well I assumed it was Brighton, so who is it?

Haha, fair enough. 

They are who I regard as proper rivals. We've just not had chance to play them these last few years.

It could relate to Bastard Rovers who also play in blue and white and he was on loan there last season??
