[Albion] Old Albion chants

[Pliny the Gull]

If you're all going to "next away game" clap your hands.

You're too ugly to be gay
We're f***ing brilliant, we're f***ing brilliant....
Just some of the old faves I've raised my daughter's on.
Then there's to the tune of yellow submarine - At number One is Peter Ward, at number two is Peter...
I assume we no longer sing this because it could be argued most of the team are better than Peter Ward now.

 

[Wes Tupper]

We all agree Peter Ward is magic.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

The Albion clap clap clap
The Albion clap clap clap
This should be resurrected!

 

[Si Gull]

Bring on the dustbin was often followed by, or substituted with the funeral march.

Der der, der der, der der der der der der der....oi!

 

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

Minton Minton, kick ass Minton

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Boxing Day…La La La…

 

[Eeyore]

I 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.

 

[Dun Lurkin]

GIVE US A B
b..ee..ee
GIVE US AN R
r.r..r
GIVE US AN I
i..i..i
etc

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

in fairness it is a lot better than "pass sideways, pass sideways, pass sideways, pass sideways, pass back, pass sideways, pass sideways"

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.

 

[Monkey Man]

I used to like the "Sea___________gulls, Sea__________gulls" chant will a deep emphasis on the first syllable

Quite odd that you hardly hear it at the Amex anymore. Yet it’s one that even non-singers will happily join in.

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

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...

Oh yes, if someone was telling porkies we would pretty much know. There were so few long haul awayers that we knew each other.

'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.
