Somebody comes up with a chant, maybe shares it with a couple of mates and then what? The four of them start singing it in a packed crowd and hope that others pick up on it? Or do they evolve? Some of the chants in the early days especially were quite complicated with verses etc so it’s not as though folk could repeat them after a first run through. A lot of ours seem nicked/adapted from other clubs. Remember a mate coming up with one at an away game and trying to get folk in the pre match pub to adopt it but it never caught on. Anyhoo, I reckon we need something rousing to remind everyone - including our current players - of our proud history perhaps referencing David Jack, Sir Nat, 4 FA cups and other famous victories. Has anyone here ever witnessed the birth of a new chant that was adopted by the fans? We could do one about the first goal ever scored in league football anywhere in the world being scored by a Boltonian in Bolton for Bolton. Message to world: Copy that one you fuckers. Quote
