Let's all chant

[Staffs_Blade]

With the state of the football we've had to endure over the past few seasons there has been precious little to sing about. However, it got me thinking about some of the great original chants form the past and who actually thinks of them and how do they start.

Quite often they seem to be based on current popular songs of the time e.g. Prince Charming by Adam and the Ants - 'don't you ever, don't you ever lower yourself to supporting Sheffield Wednesday' or cult/new/popular players e.g. I remember a bloke on the John Street terrace during a quiet period started up a song about Jostein Flo 'Jo Flo, Jo Flo twice as tall as me' can't remember much else and it didn't seem to catch on - probably because he and the football was crap.

A lot has been mentioned about all seating grounds and the lack of atmosphere. Which is probably true as most chants when I started going seemed to start at the back of the kop when it was standing and then spread which doesn't seem to happen now.

Anyway can anyone lay claim to creating a new chant which eventually caught on?

No but to boost morale from the start I'd be happy for the remix

"We are the Sheffield United,
we play in the red white and black,
and we are so proud to shout it aloud,
Championship we're coming back".

One of the funniest I've heard, sat in JS a few seasons ago, Gillingham at home and the guy behind me stood up and started the old song "You're just a small town in.................(turns to mate...............'Where the f*ck's Gillingham'.........."

Thinking about it, it could have been that dull 1st game of the season in sweltering heat when Warnock famously said the Real Madrid wouldn't have beaten them that day !
