It's the Premiership, stoopid [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

The Championship, the PL, etc, whatever title they hold are nonetheless LEAGUES. Therefore, as long as we keep the plural form - 'Up the football leagues we go' - it will be fine.

That song always reminds Me of fat,northern,topless beer bellys that wouldn't know a days work if it bit them on the arse.

To hell with Aston Villa to hell with Notts county we'll fight fight fight for the Albion till we leave the football league

 

[Weststander]

We shall not
We shall not be moved
We shall not
We shall not be moved
Just like a team
That's going to win the FOOTBALL LEAGUE!
We shall not be moved!!

I've liked that when sung by 50,000+ northerners or Scots, on massed terraces. But I don't think it's 2017 Albion's style.

 

[DumLum]

When we get promotion, what will we sing?

 

[pasty]

We're on the march with Hughton's army
We're not going to Wemberleeey
But we don't give a ****
'Cause we know we're going up
and Brighton are the greatest football team

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Since when, seeing as it has been sung all over the country, including by teams like Bristol and alike and even by our fans in the past so why is it now considered a northern chant only?

I remember watching a TV documentary, years ago, about Millwall's hooligan firm. They were planning a trip "up north".

To Bristol City.

As discussed on another thread, it's a horrible HORRIBLE northern monkeys song, sung by the likes of Burnley and Port Vale.

Don't ruin it now.

I always associated it originally with Portsmouth from '86/87...they seemed to always be singing it with their 3 or 4 promotions through the '80s. But then what I associate things with, and the actual reality are very often 2 completely different things...

 

[Giraffe]

I must confess to have a liking for the song and enjoyed singing it in the late 80's/early 90s but it is a bit Barry Lloyd for me now.

Used to sing it a lot in the North Stand back in the day

 

[KZNSeagull]

Wasn't it "Knees up Brighton town" when we sang it in the 80's, with a line about sawing your legs off in it?

 

[Lush]

Not the same now you can't bundle down to the front of the North Stand while singing it.

I would love it if we could steal a song I heard in Germany where they sing about being Champions . If we were to translate it it would be

(To the tune of auld Lang syne)
When you ask me who'll be champions
Then I will say to you
It can only be the Sussex boys
Who play in white and blue

Imagine having our own song and not stealing a northern one .

So is "we're on our way" but that's not stopped anyone singing it !

If I catch a scouser?

 

[Captain Sensible]

Yep, it's a northern club thing. They love a bit of Ei-I-o
