If you like the city then don't sing it, others might not of had such a good experience or may just be cranking the opposition fans...
Yeah but it doesn't "crank" anybody, we've all heard it a million times & it's just a boring, pointless chant. Sung by people who (somehow) genuinely seem to think it's the height of wit and hilarity. Usually followed by the equally tedious "shall we sing a song for you", "your support is f***ing shit" (sung even when it quite manifestly ISN'T shit), and the once-amusing but now chronically overused "is that your fire drill".
Presumably these people go round every day repeating old jokes to their work colleagues.
I had words with some lads in a pub before the Blackpool game, they were singing "Blackpools a shithole", when i asked them to stop they said it was just banter, but the only other people in the pub were half a dozen local OAP's who were obviously not football fans, It just seemed crass and pointless.
May also add, it was AWAY fans only pub, so kind of rules out "banter" when there are no blackpool fans to banter with! This chant was followed by ... "you burnt your own town" ...
Another one I'm getting rather tired of is the
"duh duh duh duh...f***ing useless"
every time an effort goes off target. And I mean EVERY time, whether its skied into the stands or hits the post.
Every. Single. Time.

Songs were being sung in the Blackpool pub to get the Brighton fans up for a sing song. There were other songs that were being sung not just shit hole, burnt down etc.
It seems that the people posting on here are just highlighting a couple of the songs sung, i couldn't see people moaning about singing buckley song, or CMS / Vincente etc.
And to be fair i witnessed the bloke having a pop at probably the biggest bloke in the pub (built like a tank) saying how out of order he was to be singing these songs, i thought this is going to go off in a moment. Good on the big bloke for not reacting to the bait, cos the bloke having the pop was being a bit of a plonker. If it had been me (especially with beer) i might have reacted in a different way, and a slap being thrown..
anyway we are all there for the same thing, Football, and if you can't handle banter, go and watch netball..

It was almost as bad as the "we built your stadium" chant....didn't get that one, thought the ground was pretty good myself..it was built in 1898 by the way, am I missing something?
