You know what, I've never thought of that. Silly me for spending over half of my life travelling all over the country spending thousands of pounds, to follow this team, when all along I could have been having more fun watching Man City.

Thanks for the heads up, just going to get some tickets for the next game at the Etihad. Someone remind me to stock up on prawn sandwiches please.

Well thank the lord for that - I'm definately a "grower" and not a "shower"

Andy, I think the point that Nick was making was that if you were at Pompey you'd be in no doubt how well this chant could take off. I practically sang it for 15 minutes non-stop and it got going time and again much to the annoyance of the Skates closest to us. I bet it's been a while since they were outdone at home by the away support.

Andy the infrequency of your posts is more than compensated for by the charm of their verbosity.. As for the singing and run-out music, the rest of you will, I'm sure, come out with something to impress, but I'm progressing inexorably through middle-age and sometimes feel as if I am indeed about to enter God's waiting room, so for me it has to be 'Nearer My God to Thee'..

Did I imagine it, or did I just read a long post of Andy's which has now disappeared..??

Regarding music to be played at Plainmoor it is good to read a lot of positive posts for a change.
" Hey Jude" has certainly hit the spot and it's good to see "SC" kicked into touch. Andrew says that "HJ" is not a contender for the run out song so may I suggest another [instrumental] from the same era. Please check out on youtube a track called " Torquay" by the Fireballs. It's short and snappy and should get everyone in the right frame of mind before the game starts.

We would be, I think, the only club in the UK [ maybe the whole world!] with a commercialy published tune bearing our teams name. Chris Hargreaves has asked that Plainmoor should be rocking. This would help.

No

*Edit. It's neither short nor snappy and would only achieve making Plainmoor even more sleepy!

Well I scrolled back through half a dozen pages of this thread hoping that a football game was going to break out but .... nothing!

Surely the best chants/songs are those that happen spontaneously, not as the result of endlessly debating on an Internet forum. Seems to me we've been given a chant that will be associated with a great day, we should use it.

A word about that hotel flooding which I forgot to mention: after such a disruption to their sleep the night before such a vital game, for the Gulls to go out and produce a win like that is nothing short of astounding, and we should all be rightly very proud of them.

It only needs them all to be woken out of their beds next Friday night for them to bash Bury 5-0 on Saturday. Certainly we should all be there at Plainmoor shouting ourselves hoarse to see them do it..

As we are just below the surface of survival, just below the relegation line, a song of old is bang on for playing . . . . . .

The Derek Dawkins song ("Hey Dude") is not the Beatles song to get the home crowd going. It's a Beatles song from a few a years earlier . . .
