I'm not sure we've ever originated a brand new chant, they all seem to be borrowed and modified
I do think that VFR means a LOT more to us than Forest's version does to them though, as a song about a ground means far more when you've lost the ground, and are longing to have it back
Yep every time I think someone in the Covered End has come up with something a bit clever, it's always, always a re-make of a chant from another club. Our repertoire is decent these days and we make more noise than most, but with zero inventiveness which is a shame.
VFR is definitely a bigger deal for us (I don't think Forest have a verse like we do) and is a special chant. But the pace we sing it at now is absolutely killing it. 'Oh City Ground' sung slow at the start of Forest games gives you goosebumps and makes me pissed off how we ruin our version.
Recon we should also have a song bout George Dobson
Super Super Dobbs x 3 Super Georgie Dobson
He had one on Saturday, to ring of fire.
Adkins said that George was shite (duh d-duh d-duh duh duh duh)
Now he's fcking dynamite (duh d-duh d-duh duh duh duh)
Johnnie Jackson's at the wheel (duh d-duh d-duh duh duh duh) Tell me now how does it feel - not sure what this last line was (duh d-duh d-duh duh duh duh)
Who’s that copper with a helmet on? Dixon Dixon Who’s that copper with the helmet on? Dixon of Dock Green. On the beat all day On his wife all night Who’s that copper with the helmet on? Dixon of Dock Green!
To the tune of Distant Drums by Jim Reeves whenever away fans were spotted:
I hear the sound Of Distant Bums Over there Over there And do they smell? Like ****ing hell Over there Over there
Of course there is the classic:
‘If I had the wings of a sparrow’….etc etc
A unique favourite from around the time of his third spell to the tune of the Small Faces ‘Sha la la la Lee’ was # Sha la la la Fir-marne-eee #
Sometimes I think we should sing songs about the old greats like Man U do for Cantona.
If they're in the museum's Hall of Fame then they deserve their name to be sung.
This old one for Eddie Firmani would be class.
Port Vale away, few years back, possibly a cup game? The crowd rolled out a good few oldies, some of which I'd never heard before, but was a good laugh

I dont think these songs are meant to be taken literally, unless people actually think Chris Solly was better than John Terry?
I don't dream about a team of Kermorgants, we should surely be able to find someone better in goal for a start!
