I was taught Maggots
Magnet makes more sense

That's a bit like saying you can take or leave Marmite.

Ha! I'm exactly the same. I quite enjoy it once in a while.

I get no pleasure at all from this thread being hijacked by the Marmarati and don't believe we should sing 'like a jar of Marmite' at all.

Written allegedly by Rotherham Blades.

The enigmatic “missing line” was finally plucked from the air by one of the aforementioned RBs as he walked his dog along a local canal and saw a mysterious old fisherman sat fishing for carp, one balmy Sunday morning. A car horn startled the old timer and he knocked his bait tray into the murky waters. Seeing the distressing scene unfolding, our erstwhile Red & White hero, approached the fisherman...

“You alright pal?”
“I would be better if I had a gallon of maggots” replied the fisherman, with his head in his hands.
“Magnet? Bit early for a beer pal” said t’owd Blade.
“I said Maggots lad, MAGGOTS”

A transcript of the conversation can be found in Sheffield Central Library apparently

How very dare you, it’s outrageous…

Justified I think, repeat offender had it coming.

It was indeed Maggots when it was first sung. It was "a night out on West Street" too

 

[knowsnowt]

Are duck eggs magnetic?
Nowt on Google.

 

[YouFUMS]

It was indeed Maggots when it was first sung. It was "a night out on West Street" too

I disagree on both counts. Was always Magnet, and I remember originally you sang "Like a night out in <insert name of local area>" So some would be singing 'Woodseats', some 'Handsworth', some 'Mosborogh' etc

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Just sing whatever you fecking like. My little niggle with the song is when we sing “like Sheffield United come fill me again” when we’re actually singing it to errm…Sheffield United. It should be Oh Sheffield United come fill me again…But who really gives a fuck?

We're all singing something different? I haven't been this outraged since I heard a female Blade sing "shag your men" on the Shoreham Boys song. It made me feel objectified and a little vulnerable.

Oh FFS

Start of a slippery slope toward allowing bitche ... I mean wome ... I mean 'people who menstruate' some sort of foothold in our beloved game.

Next thing they'll be kicking a ball around then they'll want fucking actual football teams and then even international teams. Then the wokey BBC will have an actual women's MotD with lasses commentating and presenting. Fucking madness!

Needs banning. Banning, ah tel thi.

It was banned…for fifty years…

WW1: Why was women's football banned in 1921?

Women's football was huge during WW1, so why did it disappear so dramatically after the war finished?

I remember everyone was singing maggots when the old John Street stand was demolished and we were moved to the BLLT. After that, some sang Magners and some sang Magnet. As a city with many anglers it made sense to sing maggots in the sense that it was an identifiable aspect of Sheffield in the same way that a good pinch of snuff was. To an angler, used to buying maggots in pints, a gallon would be very welcome.

I thought it was Mangan, as in Stephen Mangan, cos everytime the smug, unfunny twat appears on my telly, I switch it off and go and do something less boring instead. So he literally does fill up my senses with other things.

What would add more to your night out around Sheffield/West Street?
Your fishing maggots or some ale?

Has anyone ever tracked down the Rotherham Blades and asked if they were in fact responsible?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Certainly is!

 

[Crackers]

Maggots for breakfast,Maggots for tea
Maggots at lunchtime, it’s maggots for me
Steadfast, honest and pious I’ll be
because I’m sure that in heaven
Maggots are free
