We’re On Our Way etc..... 18:16 - Sep 1 with 11427 viewsITFC_Forever

What a fecking awful droning dirge of a chant.

Hardly anyone knows the words, it gets completely mumbled and it sounds like there are far too many words to fit in to ever make it work.

Mildenhall town sing that one well

It amazes me that we don't sing the never lost at home one more or the famous boys from suffolk. Both are brilliant for getting something going.


Archie’s Ultras

We sing Never Lost At Home every game in the section, but sadly it doesn’t seem to catch on very well.

Most people outwith S6 probably don’t hear them all, but there’s a decent amount of songs being sung every week now. Certainly the most I’ve ever known since I’ve been attending games.

That the words have the right number of syllables to match the metre (poetry) or tune (music).


Or as normal people say...

It fits.

I find it quite funny that the same people who moan that modern day music is rubbish probably got really annoyed when they were younger when older people then complained about ‘modern’ music.

A symptom of being a miserable old sod.


One day those who currently find it quite funny that the same people who moan that modern day music is rubbish probably got really annoyed when they were younger when older people then complained about ‘modern’ music...

will also be miserable old sods.

It is funny though. I've not only become a miserable sod, I still think I'm always in the right too, which I did when I was a young know-it-all.

Jeez, are people really taking football chants so seriously these days?


I don't think people are taking it seriously, but you know that feeling when you hear a chant and even though technically it's got the right number of syllables and fits with the timing, yet doesn't sound right. Like you hear it and it's just jarring because emphasis we put in words doesn't match the emphasis of the song.

I don't think you need a great musical mind to write songs, but it's why some that make sense on paper just sound like crap out loud.

Fans who moan about songs but come up with nothing as an alternative.


This issue melts my chocolate buttons.


Surely its about making noise and getting behind the team rather than a critical appraisal of songs. Anything is better than mostly silence, general moaning and serious tutting from the Cobbold.

And we don’t sing “by far” (even if every other team does), we sing “we’re the finest football team, the world has ever seen”. Scans perfectly.

Are we though?

Potentially Brazil 1970 or AC Milan in the 90's with Maldini, Berasi, Gullit, Rikjaard & Van Basten can sing it.

I join in every time, in fairness.

Agree, plenty of songs going around. Unfortunately with a lot being new nobody really knows them other than you lot, i'm sure overtime it will transfer nicely round the place. It took me about 2 months to know the full Allez song.

I can't really understand why S6 persists with the slow tempo songs. Kills the crowd and has other sections start faster songs.

Incorrect, singing songs quickly kills the atmosphere.

Have to disagree there. Every slow paced song at the last couple of games has pretty much killed the atmosphere in lower S6.

Worst culprit is the slow "Oh When The Town Go Marching In".

I should have elaborated on faster - I don't mean singing quickly - just a faster tempo chant than some of the the painfully slow ones we now get.

I’ve hardly been to any games since Blue Action started but I’m already sick of that Allez chant.

Seems to be sung 5 times more than any other chant and frankly I think it’s crap (not that I’m knocking Blue Action, who have been fantastic)

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.

Not by us anymore. We try and make sure it’s only sung once a game now. Twice maximum.

It’s a tough one though, cause it gets the whole stand singing, whereas most other songs we sing don’t make it out the section.

We're On Our Way, the finest crowd Division 1 has ever seen. And if the team continues to make Fortress Ipswich Town a hot bed, add 'team' instead of crowd. As for the Norwich chant, I would forget that until we overhaul them. You are sh.t etc is disrespectful to the travelling faithful of the teams that have not had the fortune of our history. Just a thought.

That's the trouble, sometimes it's better to use it to generate the initial noise and then move onto another song after in the hope that people continue to join in.
