Is Daire Doyle our captain this year. If soooo...

To the theme of the cartoon Captain Planet, kids look it up if you dont remember.

Captain Daire, he's our hero!
Gonna score for us at Flansiro!

What ye reckon?

Here's a new one I've just thought of, in honour of Vinny Perth to the tune of 'Baby give it up' by KC and the Sunshine Band.

Na na na na na na na na na na na, Vinny Vinny Perth, Vinny Perth, Vinny Vinny Perth... Could it catch on?!?!

Seriously though, I'm against the idea of singing that 'greatest football manager' song for Aaron as we were singing it about someone else six months ago. It's a bit like giving your second wife your first ones wedding dress. Can we get our thinking caps on to come up with something else?

**Cabs88** · 24/03/2008, 12:23 PM

Interesting analogy with the wedding dress.......
But yeah i agree, however the "we'll" part at the start worked really well the other night.

As regards the new chants, the davoren one is really good, and even though people were slow to pick it up, it is catchy

We're gonna give the boys a hand,
Stand up and sing for Ltfc,
They are the greatest in the land,

Everyday, we're al gonna say,
We love you town! town! town!
Everywhere, we're gonna be there,
We, love you town! town! town!

Marching On Together!
We're gonna see you win

We are so proud,
We shout it out loud we love you town! town! town!

We've been through it all together,
And we've had our ups and downs (UPS AND DOWNS!)
We're gonna stay with you forever,
At least until the world stops going round

I never knew there was such a thread something I was always going to suggest as I'm a sad one for thinking up such chants when I'm bored

have to say I love the we follow song and I absolutely love that Leeds song so if we could get that working for us it would be unreal. Thinking cap will go into overdrive for this.

Surprised we never had "I just cant get enough" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhIXZ...eature=related

When I see you Longford, I go out of my head, I just cant get enough, I just cant get enough
All the things you did to me and everything you said, I just cant get enough, I just cant get enough
We slip and slide but we fall in love and I just cant seem to get enough of DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE CMON LONGFORD DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE CMON LONGFORD!

**Cabs88** · 25/04/2012, 10:24 PM

Just cant get enough was sang last year in section O alright, never really took off.. Hopefully we have a few supporters ready to sing on Friday.. The EI EI EI O chant above is quality too

Marching on together would be just wrong. Bástardising other clubs songs is one thing, but a straight rip off of a traditional anthem from a club is a step to far. What next, a celtic/ liverpool version of you'll never walk alone?

Speaking of robbing songs (although can they complain when they no longer exist?), this wasn't aired at all at the home clasico...

When you walk trought the town,
Hold your head in your hands,
And be - be afraid - of the dark.

But at the end of the town,
Lies Lissywoollen,
Where all the knackers live.

Walk on through the stand,
Walk on through the stand,
Though your dreams be messed up....

Walk on, walk on, with fear in your heart,
And you'll never walk in Athlone,
You'll never walk in Athlone.

After dark, after dark with fear in your heart,
And you'll never walk in Athlone,
You'll never walk in Athlone.

New songs always welcome, but I'm not sure a lack of songs is really the issue tbh.

I know what your saying about ripping another football chant off, but football fans have done it for years on end.. Its the nature of a good song, other fans will rip it off.. Marching on forever is a good footballing anthem that (as far as I know) has been used only by leeds, and with the words slightly altered I dont see any problem with us adopting it.
As I said all suggestions welcome, at the end of the day we could do with a few new songs as it can be flat at times at games, singing the same songs

**Bosco** · 26/04/2012, 3:05 PM

Have to agree with Macy re marching on together,songs like that abd forever blowing bubbles are songs which Leeds and west ham have uniquely adopted for themselves,it wouldn't seem right changing it a bit and singing it ourselves,it's not like stealing chants from clubs who have already stolen the idea or melody from something else!you'll never walk in athlone is different cos it's just meant to be funny/stupid! I also noticed it Wasn't sung at the home match so well have to change that tomorrow,would also like to hear two little boys getting an airing..

**outspoken** · 26/04/2012, 5:17 PM

Love the EI EI EI EO chant!

I think the key to a good atmosphere away from home is to make sure we get as many town fans as possible sitting (or standing) together in 1 spot and plant a drum right in the middle. This season we've had some great away attendances but no atmosphere because everyone is too spread out ie Terryland. I know you can't exactely say sit in there ta feck to everyone who turns up but for anyone who wants to do a bit of singing and get an atmo going I think it's important we try and keep everyone close.
