If you're all going to "next away game" clap your hands.
Der der, der der, der der der der der der der....oi!Bring on the dustbin was often followed by, or substituted with the funeral march.
in fairness it is a lot better than "pass sideways, pass sideways, pass sideways, pass sideways, pass back, pass sideways, pass sideways"From the Goldstone days there was a period when second half last twenty minutes of every game “Attack Attack- attack attack attack “ over and over used to make the hairs on my head rise when the north stand started and it appeared to make the team really go for it
Usually started by a fairly short bloke who would stick his finger in his ear for some reason while starting the chant, if I remember my away day Albion service days mid/late 80s early to mid 90s correctly.GIVE US A B

Quite odd that you hardly hear it at the Amex anymore. Yet it’s one that even non-singers will happily join in.I used to like the "Sea___________gulls, Sea__________gulls" chant will a deep emphasis on the first syllable
Indeed, and you weren’t allowed to lie, it genuinely was a roll call. Very loud clapping when it was Oxford, barely a ripple for CarlisleI remember once signing 'If you are all going to Newcastle...' in the north stand and about eight people joined in. Then someone else shouted 'Shut up', clearly miffed that they weren't joining our Tyneside suffering.
I've always been incredibly cloth-eared about all the songs and chants, but then also cloth-eared in loud pubs, gigs, etc., but it does mean I don't catch many of the actual words. Simple chants are therefore great for me as I can join in without mumbling or going "der der deeeer" or whatever. The simple ones do tend to get a lot more take-up generally...Quite odd that you hardly hear it at the Amex anymore. Yet it’s one that even non-singers will happily join in.

Oh yes, if someone was telling porkies we would pretty much know. There were so few long haul awayers that we knew each other.Indeed, and you weren’t allowed to lie, it genuinely was a roll call. Very loud clapping when it was Oxford, barely a ripple for Carlisle

'Oh my you ought to see us kite'n, we was a couple of gay boys going out to Brighton' got a certain ring to it that, could go down well I reckon at away games.Origin of...up the Shoreham road to see the Brighton Aces??
