The mags are claiming Durham CC now


Can’t believe we have yet another thread on this. The 4th in as many months maybe?

It clearly divides opinion. Nobody is going to change theirs. The Durham players have been singing it for many years (since minor counties days according to some). They aren’t going to stop singing it now. It’s up on the home dressing room wall apparently.

So nothing is going to change. The argument has become tedious and is utterly pointless.

Can we talk about something else please 😁?
 
I was at the cricket on Sunday and never saw one Mag badge. A lot of SAFC shirts and hats and 4 blokes behind me were talking about how good Saturday has been, us winning and Mags getting beat.
I had a walk around the ground at lunch interval and thought I’d look at different viewpoints from other seats. At one place, one bloke was talking to his mates then saw someone else and asked if he’d enjoyed the football on Saturday. They all had a good laugh and agreed they had.

That was a CC game though where the average age must be 55+.

The average split towards them will be massively more skewed towards the Saudis in the younger generations.
2009 the last time I heard it. Went on for ages after Cisse give us the lead at SJP in the 1-1 game

Won’t doubt that you heard it (I was there too and didn’t) but that surprises me. In my mind it literally stopped in 97 when we moved grounds, like booing Kasey Keller and ‘come on you Reds’ at a corner.

Bring back the days we never won so didnt have to hear it!!
 
It did where I was. Furthest block over near the big glass end. Was fairly loud as well
I was there n'all. Never heard it. Especially not going on for ages. Its not the type of song that goes on for ages. A couple of short blasts then that's it, or at least it was back in the 80's when I last heard it
