Expect this has been discussed before but think it’s a shame we don’t really have a Club anthem like a lot of other clubs have (don’t really think ‘Singing the Blues’ cuts the mustard)!
Was just looking at a Facebook link this evening and some great ones around at clubs like Forest, Sheff Utd, West Ham etc., even up the road there’s that awful ’On the Ball City’!
Guess there has to a trigger or a specific link that causes fans to adopt a song that really sticks!
Personally always thought ‘Country Roads’ would be good….catchy chorus and don’t know of any other clubs that use it! |  | | |  |

Bizarrely enough when living in Nottingham I occasionally went to watch Notts County with a Magpies fan and their “anthem “ revolves around a wheel barrow
The lyrics went -
“ I had a wheelbarrow , the wheel fell of ,I had a wheel barrow , the wheel fell of ……” and repeat
I believe it had something to do with the groundsman’s wheel falling off his wheelbarrow years ago
True story |  |

Personally I think that club anthems are pointless. ‘You’ll never Walk alone’ possibly the most well known anthem, but even that when sung, only the chorus gets sung.
I know it’s my own ignorance but I’m struggling to think what the anthems of Forest snd Shef U are. |  | | |

Think the Forest one is something about mist rolling in from the Trent , sang along to the tune of Mull of Kintyre [Post edited 12 Jan 2022 20:45]

Chip butty song for the blades. It’s excellent. Still think best is Leeds Marching on Together |  |

Well I think someone had the right suggestion of making it the end of match song if we win. I think it would really grow from there. | | | |

The wheel falling off would have made a very apt anthem for us for the last decade! |  |

I know it’s heresy, I’ll have to punish myself and everything, the lyrics are terrible, but I think ‘On the ball City’ is pretty good, and quite historic (Ullaa will be pleased with this post) |  | | |

Charlton sing it, about mist rolling in off The Thames, and at least it makes sense for them as they were homeless as a club for years.
Annoys me when Forest sing it, as they have to make "City Ground" fill four syllables so they stretch the word City. And they have never been under threat of leaving their stadium like Charlton were. Unless I missed it. |  |

It’s unique, I’ll give them that. Kick it in and have a little scrimmage not exactly rock n roll though. | |

It is historic that is true.
And we all know how much they love football history! | |

Was going to suggest that we invite Ed to write one for us, would that be a first in terms of an "anthem" commissioned by a football club from a living singer-songwriter?
Think 'Country Roads' is living up too much to our rural hick & 'Tractor Boys' image too much?
Personally, I like 'Song Sung Blue' (albeit I know many aren't exactly ND fans, but the lyrics are a good fit!)
"Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it started feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Song sung blue
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice"

The OTBC lyrics are slightly archaic - so much so that even the 'fiddlers themselves don't know the words to their own song:
kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage, keep it low, send it rush
- in some sort if order I cannot now remember.
They changed send it rush to splendid rush; stuck "it" in several places . You can see the whole poem on Wikipedia and its provenance
In the 40s and 50's Town used to sing Keep Right On to the End of The Road - but Birmingham City have acquired that.
We should ask Ed Sheeran to write us an anthem! |  |

“Keep Right On (to the End of the Road)” was a crowd standard in the first few years my grandad took me to Portman Road. It would be lovely to revive that. |  |

Don't know if its a club anthem as such but I'm sure I read that Cambridge play 'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts' when they win, which is pretty funny. 'Blue is the Colour' I also find good. |  |

I actually really like Edward Ebenezer Jeremiah Brown. It’s quirky, unique, not just a rehash of a pop song. And good shouty bits like ‘Where was the goalie…’
Just needs Ed to cover it for it to become more well known!
Doubt Ed would write his own sadly - too risky for him! | | | |
