When did the ALLLLLLLBBBIIIIIERRRN ALLBIIIERRRN chant start?

[Cheshire Cat]

I remember it (or something very similar) at the Goldstone in the 1980s, and at away games then.

Or the chap who walked around the pitch with the draw numbers on a board and the chap sellng The Argus probably all long gone. Wonder if they saw The Amex.

Well boring chant....Much prefer the old fast one 

Agree, the fast one has passion and builds up to something. The slow one is more Albiyaaaawwwn than Albion.

He used to work in the OB box at the Withdean.

When did we stop singing "You'll never walk alone?" as I remember that being sung once and my Uncle remembered it being sung a few times in the sixties. Now, is that just my romantic memory?

Also, I remember "Celery Celery" being sung in the Goldstone North Stand.

Was sung (and thrown) at the Priestfield and the Withdean.

Not sure some of the mongs who sit around me in WSU would get it.

 

[El Turi]

The first time I recall hearing it, was the 0-0 draw at the madeski, reading. This woukd be about 12 years ago. We nearly nicked it at the end but our goal was disallowed.

This is also the first time I remember hearing it.

Not forgetting the other West Stand Classics, "Come on you Blues" and "Oh My, What a Referee!"

I wonder if people are mixing up 'come on you blues' for the Albion chant. I sat in the west for several years as a child and occasionally, the stand would rouse from its slumbers and sing it. The slow Albion chant, no, in my opinion was never heard. It came from Liverpool in the last twenty years. I join in with it now as it's almost the only song the majority sing at the amex, but it's a sh*te song.

What about the portly chap in white coat with a moustache who carried the numbers board and was constantly shouted at 'get it down'
