Haway the lads chant

[lambton cat]

You know the proper one that rarely takes off any more, why not slow it right down like Spurs did with 'marching in'?
Haaaaawwaaaaaaaaay the laaaaads etc, used to be a lot slower than the swc steam through it now anyway

totally agree with you...have to give it a go. Mind theres no sound like it. The Arsenal in 73 at hillsborough midway through the second half. The Lads on that day were just begining to flag a little when ALL of Sunderland started with "Ha'way the Lads" with one voice, which is similar to what you are talking about... It was a huge lift at a point in the match where it could have gone either way. Hairs, back of heed spring to mind again. Its on You tube I think.



It was like that with Red and White Army against Norwich started in the SWC slowly not too loud but travelled around the stadium and lasted about 5-10 minutes with everyone on cue , not disjointed...the hairs on the back of my head stood up so much so I said to me lad that it was awsome...

Lets give it ago

Watching the 1973 final on DVD that chant really stood out. Sounded immense.

Sadly, I don't think our supporters are capable of a slow chant. Even the Bob Marley one - which many didn't like, admittedly - was sang too fast. Sung at the proper pace of the song it would have been much better.
