An inevitable consequence of the Loyalty Points Scheme. My 15 year old son is desperately keen to support the Albion away from home. He can't afford the money or time to do the furthest flung matches. He is almost completely barred from ever being able to follow the Albion away. Tottenham (big allocation) might be a rare chance for him hopefully.

Couldn't figure the lyrics out last night, but that is rather jolly. I like it. I hope that can take off on saturday, it certainly was a grower at Stoke.

We've got super Paul Simpson, He knows exactly what we need, with Feeney at the back, Dennis in attack, Carlisle's gonna up the football league
To be honest a lot of people round us stopped singing when the Ali Mac song was happening, I guess they couldn't work out the words. Didn't stop it being sung again and again at the back, but that's when the atmosphere seemed to drop further forward.
Probably not the best song to lift the team for a low-crowd cup game at stoke with a crap acoustic and quite a few non-regulars - at least until it catches on properly. The more 'teamy' ones that everyone knows might not be very inventive but last night they got the crowd involved more.
I think the more versy ones for individual players catch on better from PL games with the more consistent crowd, like the Caicedo one has... I hope this one will because with that tune it needs lots singing it together to have an impact or it's a bit of a wordy mess.
(And maybe it will pick up better when the player in question is having a better game too)

Plenty of time for a Tuesday night away trip when they haven’t got work I suppose.

Has he got a season ticket? If he has he will definitely get there eventually. Need to do the hard miles though. Took my daughter 3 years but now she is comfortably in the top tier.

It's a just a rip off of the Harry Kane England song from about a year ago. I like it, but not original.

Even then they’re singing the wrong words.
The correct version is this which is my reply on the thread.

I’m sure I recall Worthing fans singing a chant to this tune 4 or 5 years ago.

I went to the Emirates this season my first away game since Wolves away in the championship promotion season. Wolves was ok bumping into a lot of the lads from back in the day on the train. Arsenal I found some of the away support arrogant youngsters telling some aged fans to F off when asked to sit down so they could see the game. I enjoyed the game although didn’t feel that connection like I used to, we all used to look out for each other back in the day.
