New chant - not sure if this completely ridiculous or actually brilliant

[ChickenBlade]

Some might find this the lamest idea of all time but part of me thinks it could be magical…
…during a recent England match my 13 year old asked why neither of the Sheffield teams sings Football’s Coming Home. I was a bit dismissive of this idea but have been thinking about it a lot over the last few days. I think it could be genius - Sheffield is the hugely under-celebrated true home of football and the Blades could take ownership of the song at Wembley as we try to get promoted. With a slight tweak:
It’s coming home
It’s coming home
To Sheffield, (big emphasis and a bit agressive)
Football’s coming home
Repeat!

Thoughts?

 

[Nonamedhorse]

It’s a no from me Seth.

 

[Paisley Blade]

Be kind.

Love it mate - let’s do it

You’ll have a long and happy posting experience if you keep this up

Don’t blame the 13 year old!

Did they chant in late 1890s, when we were good at football?

What time is kick off… what time is kick off. What time is kick off… what time is kick off

We should all go with flat caps and wooden rattles..

Oh dear, Wembley brings alsorts out doesn't it.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I still see that header by Moore
Campbell destined to Score
Souza belting the ball
And Sydie Screaming
2 Blades on a shirt
Bramall Lane still gleaming
100 years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

 

[BigBed]

I've bought a gnome
I've bought a gnome
I bought one
I bought a fucking gnome.

[Pedro Verde]

Be kind

I mean, I am not sure the championship play off is quite bringing football coming home...

Fa cup final win, I will give you this!

Just imagine if we got promoted and relegated next season. Away fans singing:

It's leaving home
It's leaving home,
Footballs grown up...

 

[BLADES1988]

I hate it and love the idea at the same time

 

[Sean Thornton]

I used to have a fancy rattle as a kid

Is it just me who sees the irony in this?

It's a no from me.

When that song was first released, it made sense. It was Euro '96 - football was metaphorically "coming home" to England, as hosts of the tournament. Plus the double meaning of us pursuing the overall tournament victory.

But in the time that's passed, with more and more instances of the national team failing to claim victory in one of the biggest tournaments (Euros or World Cup), the various iterations of Three Lions become just sad. It's like someone desperately continuing at the fruit machine, in the hope that they will eventually land a jackpot.

Similarly, I'd feel the same about us singing it. Not only would the tune inherently retain the stigmas from the national side, but it would also feel a little weak when we've won nothing of true significance for a century.

 

[Gavlar]

Terrible song idea, but then it is eurovision weekend.

 

[100% part time blade]

If they decide to build a new national stadium in Sheffield, start holding the FA Cup final there, and in the first year of its operation we get to the final, then we should definitely sing it, as it would be extremely apt.

I actually quite like this. It doesn't make complete sense... Like, which part is coming home(?!)... but plenty of chants make less sense. It works. And very easy to pickup.

What about Pigs below us squealing in place of Bramall lane still gleaming ?
