It's talking of a time when everything was great.

No pig fans in town (Wednesday moved away from Bramall Lane*)
No Hillsborough to sadden my eyes (wasn't built)
Jack Charlton is dead (technically "not born" but those words didn't fit)
And the year is 1889 (year we were formed and coincides with when they moved away from't Lane)

*They actually moved to Olive Grove so technically were still 'in town'. It was ten years later that they moved to Hillsborough which wasn't part of Sheffield at that time.

Yep - makes no sense to me whatsoever. :)

Not even your cheeky little edit, Matt ;) - fixed it for yer (and teken a screen shot to prove it) ;)
 



Mixed fans and genuine banter and pee taking was one of the best things I enjoyed going to games as a kid. I met my first girlfriend on the terrace when we played Leeds. She was from Rotherham but decked up in white and supported the Dirties. It didn't last long because I couldn't convert her.

But on the plus side, we beat them 1-0 Mick Hill scoring the winner, having replaced Mick Jones who'd just gone to Leeds. The song us young-uns sang that day was. 'YOUVE BOUGHT THE WRONG ONE!!'

Sadly we hadn't bought the wrong one, the exuberance of youth eh? ;)


"Convert" ?

You old timers have a way with words Gray :)
 
I can't wait until we get back to the Championship again when some decent followings turn up, we can then intimidate the fuckers again and sing 'You're gunna get your fuckin heads kicked in'. :) It always made me chuckle that one back in the early 2000s', just seeing their faces after trying to have a bit of banter with us, then they got that sung back at them. :)

A song usually sung when we've conceded at the Lane and the opposition fans are taking the Micheal.

The associated ditty of "You're going home in a big white ambulance" was a further emphasis on the prospective violence that could ensue if we did not overcome them on the field of play.

Too fucking right Kenneth, either the Blades turn this round or you're getting it. :D

I say, thats very interesting Mr Cholmondley - Warner.......
 
Here's a little ditty that we all know better as 'Shoreham Boys'.

Sung by East End punk band, The Business and re-titled as 'Guiness Boys'.

No mention of Jack Charlton, pigs, the sty or a fax machine.

Ken, your predisposition towards thuggery takes my breath away! ;) I knew there was a small pocket of low-intellect, clenched fist ruffians still active at t'Lane, I just never realised that you were so informed about this. Dr Martens at the ready I say! Nothing less than a clip round the lughole Ken, nothing less.....

I've never partaken in those sort of shenanigans, Blood. Not my scene.
Prefer talking bollocks than dishing it :)
Just recall the chants and the circumstances in the late 70s and early 80s
Never had a pair of DMs - allus used to wear trainers in case there was a chance of a kick about (football not heads).
Now I tend to wear sensible boyts and look for the best ale and a chat with like minded fellow football fans - Blades or Oppo

I'd always heard it as a 'Sheffield ambulance'.

The keen sentiments of the aspiring pugilists, did not stretch to the administrative issues in transferring pateients from one NHS area to another, it would seem.

It wouldn't sound the same now with the more factually correct 'Yorkshire Ambulance Service Trust'.

I was taking the piss, you gentleman you.

Hope you know I appreciate your 'bollock' communications, they do go to the heart of what really matters mate UTB

Worrabout if wi worraway from t' Lane?
Wez thi logik then, cocoman?
 



Perhaps we should abandon the ridiculous "don't sing other clubs songs" when in fact they are recycled all over the land.

It would also help if we had half a dozen or so who can actually hold a tune.


"hold a tune" ? What thy on abhat Daft Lad ?

We were having that sung at us somewhere or other and my comical,mate says to me in a faux terrified voice " we're not are we " ?

Made me laugh anyway
 
I like the slow version of 'when dem Blades go marching in' but people get it going to quickly then it's over. It's a great song if we can perfect this and gets the momentum of the fans and players going superbly, what an atmosphere when done right.

That's awful. I had to google them to see if it was a parody. That's so far removed from real punk it may as well have been bashed out by Pete Waterman. It sounds like 'the Two Ronnies Do Oi'.
