The Edward Ebineezer tune is so embarrassing! 23:14 - Jan 29 with 3313 viewstrueblue85

Who genuinely thinks this silly tune is a good idea?

Sure it has it’s place, I wouldn’t want it banned, but it’s hardly an intimidating, partisan, and rousing club anthem is it!! It sounds more like a cocky knees-up with Chas’n’Dave. I genuinely cringe every time I hear it or see people trying to “sing” it.

Absolutely awful!!

I think it has it's place. I'm not convinced it is best served as the crowd 'gee-up' at the start though. The original version is played over the speakers and it's a bit 'music hall'. Now, sang in an away pub by 20 or 30 or so blokes, I thought it sounded good, and it's ours.

I've long thought that Adicts 'Viva la Revolution' should be played before kick off and after a win.

It's not for me either but then I'm not sure Portman Road is capable of "an intimidating, partisan, and rousing club anthem."

Until we can come up with an alternative to this cheeky-chappy "Chas n Dave esque" song, that's what we've got. Any suggestions?

I love it but then again I have a soft spot for any old anthems that are used (even when I hear other clubs using theirs). It's just a nice nod to tradition and history that reflects well on a club imo. In an era where some historic grounds are renamed after corporate entities etc., I like to hear an oldie that fans from generations before us, with the same love of our Club, also enjoyed. It's a bit of fun too.

There is always room for more Town songs in the future and ones we can all sing along to (maybe Ed Sheeran will pen a Town classic for us someday) but I hope this old gem still gets an airing sometime on match days.

Have you given us one example of an intimidating partisan rousing club anthem?

Maybe you should not stay up so late worrying about such things and get an early night

I love it - it's a great song that sums up what it's like to be a fan, it's unique to us, and it gets a hearty singalong from the fans.
Keep playing it, town DJs!

I’m not sure anyone’s going to be intimidated by a bubble machine at West Ham or people singing ‘you’ll never walk alone’. It’s not really the point!

Why at least it isn’t a song about bubbles.
