Like a gallon of lizards..."

Lizards.

Definitely lizards.

Joking aside it’s maggots.

Whilst I’m here, anyone got GCB ringtone on Nokia 3210?

I’ve only got the first line which I think is... # 4 9 # 3 7

If you took a gallon of maggots into the Lane would they all be counted in the official attendance?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Seriously, it's fucking Magnet.

They aren't allowed a ticket, due to the frankly bizarre Loyalty Points system.

In what sense is a gallon of maggots a pleasurable thing which might be described as filling up one's senses?

Maggots themselves are not something anyone loves.

It's a nod to Sheffield's fishing traditions.

Why would a song about a night out with snuff, fags and chip butties suddenly reference fishing rather than beer?

As the real GBS once said

"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance"

Here all week....

Every match angler will empathise with those who sing ‘maggots’ because a gallon was said to be in Sheffield fishing folklore the amount most top fishermen used to take with them to mix in the ground-bait in the big open tournaments.

However, (even as a splodger) there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we used to sing ‘Magnet’ and it’s hard even to imagine how a gallon of bluebottle, greenbottle or housefly larva would fill up any feckers senses.

Jack Charlton isn't dead and it isn't 1889 either.

"A night out in Sheffield".

Why would you want maggots on a night out?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Splodgers will splodge, drinkers will drink.

Now which would you associate with a night out with some fellow Blades?

According to Grimsby fans we stole it from them, so surely it's magg-

Nah, fuck off. It's Magnet and we invented the song.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Straight to the Cunt List for the 7 people who voted maggots.

That's another mis-sung lyric. It's actually every year is 1889. A poetic expression of our dominance in the city.

The correct line in the GCB is also "come thrill me again" not 'fill'.

But it's not 1889 and hasn't been since.

I know it's "thrill", just as I know it's "magnet"

Maggots was just a misprint on a tee shirt that some feel daft about buying to this day and can't admit it. They should FOTH .......

They’d not use maggots in Grimsby, we’re talking sea fishing there.

If it was a gallon of rag or lug worm maybe.

Apart from watching on tv, rich people on boats catching real fish like marlin and sailfish l can't see the pleasure in it but even l knew you didn't go after cod and haddock with maggots!

The strongest readily available 'magnets' are neodymium. I've tried this in the song and it doesn't quite scan properly.

In view of this the logical and only conclusion that can be drawn is 'maggots'........

I've voted for maggots as it will annoy me the most when I read this in the morning.........

Incidentally, Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 and his sides colours were also red, white and black.

The original magnet, not the piss that exists these days, was known as "feytin' beer". There was nowt stronger
