GCB at Wembley

I think it’s more the “your women” bit, implying that the women are owned.

Yeah, it’s even more embarrassing when your daughter is sat next to you at the game. Have raised a bunch of cavemen.

Daft, but is the atmosphere in Wembley being disjointed because of its size? Sound travels at 343m/s.

The pitch is 104x68m. Plus distance to the backs of stands is at least a further 50. Fag pack arithmetic makes the diagonal almost 200m, causing a sound delay of about 0.6s. Stands to reason that any chants would be tricky to sustain across 2 stands as the delay makes it impossible to time

Tek your word for it Lazy

Oh for the days when people didn't lose their marbles over footy songs . We've been well and truly sanitized .

I think we need a songs refresh. I absolutely love Shoreham Boys when it starts up. But the misogynistic and frankly juvenile last two lines are quite embarrassing.,,and we know it. I also think GCB probably needs an extra verse or two that we can pull out the bag for special occasions, like Wembley visits etc.
Unfortunately, most of our very best songs are either about players or managers, and sadly they either leave, get injured or start being crap.

Calling that song "Quite embarassing" is hardly losing their marbles Bladeloyal . It's more like measured criticism, which is pretty justified given that some of the posters making this point attend matches with their daughters.

With the number of fans we have at Wembley the GCB has always been a bit of a let down as its never had everyone sing it at the same time. It starts in one area then when it spreads its nearly all over.

What about everyone using the kick off as the prompt to start it. As soon as the ball is kicked everyone sings? Very unlikely we beat City on the pitch but we can beat them in the stands.

Every appearance we try.

The issue is the stadium is so big it takes tine for the sound to get round.

So never ends up being everyone singing at same time.

Might sctuslly need Gaz with a ghetto blaster

"Shag your women and drink your beer" needs to be scrapped.

"Beer" is offensive to the coeliac disease-having community and nothing in the song offers any gluten-free alternatives.

We're sleepwalking into another Holocaust.

 

[Tezza1889]

Fuck the game, just sing for 90 minutes, better still stay back In Sheffield and join the choir at your local curch, convince the organ player to stop behind on overtime and sing for the full 24 hours on the day of the game, not watching a minute of the action.

Just sing. What's wrong with you. Sing..for fucks sake..

And do it at the right bloody time as well..

90 mins of singing. Don't sing too loud though cos we don't want to be "the loudest fans ever at wembley"

Yeah use your hands to form an impromptu speaker, doesn't matter If you can't see the game so long as you sound louder..

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Love it when this chant gets going.
Pretty sure it was originally based on the 'We are the Mods' song...

As a Rocker I feel I must object...

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Here's an idea. It's not revolutionary as other clubs have done it. But maybe, just maybe, the club could advertise the block behind the net as the singing section? Other clubs do it. Hudds did it against us in 2012. It was loud, they had balloons, colours, it worked. But nah, too modern for this fan base. Don't like owt different. Just be boring, quiet and out of sync with each other

What's it to do with the fan base? Surely it's a club ticketing issue?

It would be a club ticketing issue if they actually went ahead with it.

Because we might end up 1-0 down before we get half way through it

It happens occasionally at the Lane where the ref decides to start the game just as the music prompt starts and we've about a minute and a half to not concede and make ourselves look a right bunch of prats
So everyone half expecting the worst sings it in a nervous manner

It was prompted at Wembley against Hull by playing the song

I doubt they'll do it against City because then they'd have to play Blue Moon as well

I prefer different sections of the crowd singing different songs at the same time, it creates a raw, raucous noise that is much better than a uniformed and choreographed sing along

Inclusive? Are we just throwing out buzz words?
The song is about marching into a town and taking over. Stealing someone's 'woman' isn't right, but the only offence meant by it here is towards to the man who supports the opposition.
I'm sure consensually pulling the local lasses doesn't seem that stone age to most 20 year old lads.

Yeah, it’s great song, just like boat full of vikings coming into town.

 

[BettingBlade]

I’m looking forward to when we win and the Garyoke machine doesnt ruin it literally a second after the final whistle.

Plenty of gluten-free beers available these days, but I agree that the song should make it clear that those with special dietary requirements can ask about options.

 

[Blade56]

I think it’s more the inference in the song that the sole purpose of women is to be “shagged” by men. I agree with the original poster, it is embarrassing and not at all inclusive or suitable for 2023.

I think it’s more the “your women” bit, implying that the women are owned.

Oh FFS

There was a lass next to me at an away game this season (I can't remember which one) gustily singing "shag your men and drink your beer" so it seems pretty inclusive to me

This is not to say that I approve of it.

Never undrstnd why its not been replaced with 'Love you women, and drink your beer'

 

[VictoryBlade]

Yeah, it’s even more embarrassing when your daughter is sat next to you at the game. Have raised a bunch of cavemen.

'Love your women and drink you beer'

 

[Billysharp⚔️]

What about singing some old Ronnie sharp songs of his cd but I bet we would get thrown out

I would love that to be fat bring it back to loud time from 70s and 80s for a day

 

[CrookesBlade]

I’ll be singing about John Tudor, mainly. Feel free to join in.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Never liked it. I don't sing it as iam either with my son or my Mother at games.

 

[Mumbo]

misogynist to shag women?
Oh what a world.

Yeah….It’s a bit difficult for some cultures,Victorian gentlemen and cavemen
to get their fuckin head round but woman do have a clitoris CREATED purely for ENJOYMENT
and they love shagging just as much as men.
The type of woman that go to football games are certainly broad minded enough
to contextualise what is sung or said inside a football ground and a good percentage of them
can look forward without guilt,judgment or admonishment to a good old shag later that evening/afternoon.

Oh my god, I really hope this is an attempt at irony.

Probably better not sing it as it might be hosting to people who are from Sheffield

City will not even sell their tickets according to a very good mate who’s a season ticket holder there.
