Blimey! This thread has come back from the dead - a Lazarus thread. I agree with [highlight=yellow]Mr westbay [/highlight]about the Steve Evans chant - but what does' ten men went to mow a city' mean?
Mr Westbay is actually Ms./Mrs Westbay. :whip:
You agree with too many posters.

I always liked the variation on the Addams Family that we used at Yeovil once year. We probably weren't the first team to use it (very few chants are original now), but still.

Your father is your brother
You all **** one another

Next season we will hear a chant from Notts County fans that appears to make no sense. It’s simple, inclusive, uses no divisive language or themes, but it brings their fans together. This chant brings positive traits; camaraderie, loyalty, humour and the ability to face adversity, hence why for me the 'Wheelbarrow Song' sums up all that is good about chanting.
For those who haven’t heard it, to the tune of ‘Old Smoky’, it is simply;
“I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel fell off, I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel fell off, County, County, County”
Why then is that a great football chant? It has nothing to do with football, until the final reference to County,
Well, it is self-deprecating; the inference being that as a club that they are so unfortunate that even their wheelbarrow is broken. And yet, despite all that, they still love the wheelbarrow. They'll get a new wheel, it’ll be as good as new. Then at they start of the new season they'll believe again.
I think TUFC have had a few broken wheelbarrow's in our time, so when you hear their chant you will be able to relate to it's meaning.
