New song maybe ?

[DanTheMonkey]

I was just browsing the net, when i found i great chant that some conference team used to sing, edited it a bit, please tell me what you think:

To the tune of amarillo:

were on our way to Chester City,
your not going aint that a pity,
youll still be playing Exeter City,
while were in the football league,

sha lalalalalalala johnny , sha lalalalalalala coleman, sha lalalalalalala johnny coleman take us there.

[Tin Monkey]

That's the kind of song that results in serious amounts of egg on your face.

[DanTheMonkey]

true, but the team name e.g. Exeter can be changed
its just the basic start

[maccawozzagod]

we're on our way to league 2 football,
every year I've been watching the Stanlee
we're on our way to league 2 football,
where ****ty Grimsbee wait for me.

Stanerlee,lee,lee. Stanerlee,lee,lee. Stanerlee,lee,lee
Where ****ty Grimsbee wait for me.


but only when the title is more or less secure.

[DanTheMonkey]

yeah, exactly, it was just an idea, it can be advanced, but i used a localish team like chester to do it

Fields of Athenry

By a lonely Shayman Wall
We watched the last points fall
And tho we may have lost away
To those gits in Morecambe Bay
Its just glory round the fields of Whalley Road

Low lie the fields of Whalley Road
Where once we watched the great Stanerlee
With Gary on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Its glory round the fields of Whalley Road

By a lonely Southern Wall, I heard a young man singing
Nothing matters Stanley now we're top
Against the Conference from the Crown
We rebelled , can't take us down
Now you must raise your child with Stanerlee

Low lie the fields of Whalley Road
Where once we watched the great Stanerlee
With Gary on the wing
We have dreams and songs to sing.
Its glory round the fields of Whalley Road.

From a lonely cider bar, they watched the last chance fall
As the Stanley ship sailed out against the sky
Nothing matters Stanley now we're free
Now you must raise your child as Stanlerlee

(altogether now)

Low lie the fields of Whalley Road
Where once we watched the Great Stanerlee
With Gary on the wing
We have dreams and songs to sing
Its just glory round the fields of Whalley Road

top football tune though...

[Tealeaf]

Aye, you need to keep the words and the tune simple & quick and which most people know. Its also helpful if it's associated with winning. Maybe summat like this:



I looked over t'coppice, and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home,
A team called Stanley, coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

Swing Low,sweet Stanl-er-lee........etc etc.

the people who sing would learn the words whatever, even it was all Swahili. It is a top tune that you can really get your lungs behind, even just the chorus ad nauseum works.

We do need an anthem
