Old chants that are never sang anymore...

[AlienFTM]

Early 70s, last game of the season at home to Blackpool. A win for them and they'd be promoted to Div 1. A win for us and about four other improbable results for us and we'd go up. Big game. The old Roker was heaving. Plenty of away support. With ten minutes left they were winning 1-0 and really rocking down the other end. The half-time results left us in no doubt we weren't going up.
There was an aura of hate in the Fullwell.
Then we equalised.
Then we scored the winner.
Those last ten minutes were incredible.

Two songs stuck in me memory:
"Tangerine, tangerine bastards." (Think "You're going home in a Red Cross ambulance.")
And the following (Mungo Jerry's current hit was called "Long Legged Woman Dressed In Black"):

Blackpool's gonna get the knack.
Get the knack, get the knack,
Get the knack knack knack.

A less than perfect day but those frenetic ten minutes made it less hurtful.

Haway the Lads (repeat ad infinitum)

Is that the Auld Lang Syne version or the one with the claps [no not the STIs!]?

They sometimes used to merge together those songs into a bit of a mega-mix.

I preferred the Auld Lang Syne version.

Certainly do - Mansfield away in the 70's was a particularly good performance of it!!

For some reason, the locals looked quite confused about what was going on.

Aye, I was there.... it was just one of those moments / games that stick with you throughout your football following life. I think the Saints fans thought we'd lost the plot or summat. As well as Ghostriders in the Sky we also did a very very long version of "There Was An Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly (Perhaps she'll die..)" - Remember that one Hertsmackem? People were just adding on any particular creature they could think of by the end.... Class afternoon. What was the score by the way?
