    I don't think this can be manufactured in the way we are trying. All football songs come about spontaneously - Stoke singing Delilha started when some geezer in the crowd tried to get the attention of his mate... "Oi, Tom.... Tom.... Jonezy.... Tom lad.... Jonezy...".
    I don't know why Sheff Utd sing Annie's Song (version of) but it's great!
    Ok, Sweet Caroline so joyous at the Euro's, happened (I think) because the Wembley DJ kept playing it? but its an established sports song on both sides of the pond.
    It needs to be timeless, ours and timeless and ours - so stop suggesting your favourite pop song (ok, I did a few pages back, but...)

    We do have our very own ditty, just need to jazz it up a bit:
    As I was going to Derby, Sir,
    All on a market day,
    I met the finest Ram, Sir,
    That ever was fed on hay.
    Daddle-i-day, daddle-i-day,
    Fal-de-ral, fal-de-ral, daddle-i-day.

    This Ram was fat behind, Sir,
    This Ram was fat before,
    This Ram was ten yards high, Sir,
    Indeed he was no more.
    Daddle-i-day, etc.

    The Wool upon his back, Sir,
    Reached up unto the sky,
    The Eagles made their nests there, Sir,
    For I heard the young ones cry.
    Daddle-i-day, etc.

    I first started going to games in Arthur's last few seasons, but White Christmas would still get a regular airing on the Popside back then.

    Maybe that's why Steve Bloomers Watching hasn't been completely taken in? We should have carried on with White Christmas if you remember the game against Newport Dec 1985? - although it would be a strange song on a Hot August Night

    Curtis was captain when my two girls were mascots, he said to them in the tunnel; "I always head the ball as we run out... but if your too cool for that don't worry..."
    Top guy! Maybe him staying is the watershed?

    So let’s start right at the very beginning…….It was Wednesday the 7th May 1884 when the very first mention was leaked in the Derby Mercury, it was hidden away on page five that the Derbyshire County Cricket club were to form a football club under Association rules and so it began.

    GSTQ is rousing, but then (I'm biased) it's my national anthem. Totally agree that England should have our own and GSTQ used only for the UK.
    Jerusalem is the obvious choice, my only question would be the Christian connection to it (Jerusalem is holy to Muslims and the Jewish faith point to note). Our anthem has to be all inclusive.
    As for other nations, I like Russia's... But take a look at my avatar ?

    ... that you miss?
    Ok, I will start...
    1.   When the England squad for a tournament is announced the radio, in an unflamboyant way read out the surnames of the players... "Shilton... Butcher... Dorigo... Parker... Pearce... Walker... Wright..."
    2.   When stood behind the goal, clapping the opposition keeper into the net (he would return the clap) - I still do this, but no one knows what it is I'm doing!

    When the cup final at the "old" wembley was an event to behold. Even the main camera angle then was just right. The stadium seemed huge and really made it something special, even when the players were walking out onto the pitch. Now, it could be anywhere.

    Being able to pay on the gate and terracing.
    It goes hand in hand. A group of lads could be having a drink on Friday night when one says shall we go the game tomorrow, two or three say yeah, an hour later two more say the same and before you know it theres a group of you. 
    Just turn up, pay, and go and stand together at the match.
    Yes you can gain entrance on the day, if you have a customer number and are prepared to get to the ground a good hour before kick off and try and get seats together but Its a ball ache and puts off many casual fans.
