What was that strange chant today?

[mr burslem]

Starting in the Railway Stand (Hamil End Corner), then getting down into the paddock, second half: strange, fast new chant, a bit like 'Big Marc Richards', full verse of some kind, but with regular handclapping. Coudln't work out the words, and neither could anyone around me. Does anyone know what they were?

Dont 100% quote me on it but I was trying to hear the words throughout the first half I think it went something like

I wonder what it's like to be city,

I wonder whats its like to be small,

I wonder whats its like when your team wins nothings at all, nothing at all

 

Thats what i thought i heard (even if thats the song your on about)

**** me. This and the Poznan. We might as well move 40 miles north.

 

Not saying we should sit in silence, but cant we be original?

If that was it its not a new one,we were singing one pretty much the same as that in the early 90's!

As I said, I'm not 100% sure since thats the first time I heard it....

 

It did start at the back of the Railway in the first half and I couldn't hear it that well, someone who was singing could possibly enlighten us??

I love inspyral carpets

[Timothius]

We sang it in Chilz beer garden and a lone Stokie threatened to have us all, so we sang him a few more anti Stoke songs and he got really agitated so his mate dragged him inside before someone flattened him! One of the nights better moments! :-)

Inspiral Carpets. This Is How It Feels.

I have heard this before at Vale. I didn't hear it yesterday as I wasn't there, at a mates birthday do at Uttoxeter races.

[Family Stand Terrier]

In about 2002 me and a few mates got tickets to a United champions league match where they sang this. Vale played Huddersfield away a couple of days later and drew 2-2 where we started singing it about Stoke. They got promoted through the play offs that season and it never really felt appropriate afterwards.

Thanks, everyone. I shall join in merrily next season.
