[Richard_Cadette]

Works for me fella..... Thanks Ian, appreciated. :)

Why don't you sing "Southend FC" instead of "S U F C"...? Same syllables.. Works better??

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

It might sound better but the problem is we are not Southend Football Club, we are Southend United Football Club.

Easy when you think about it!

Might be singing that in a few years when the ground doesn't get built and we go bust. Southend FC seems the best name to restart

 

[BrettieAngell]

Another generic and even more boring song.

 

[Bobby dazzler]

I think we should sing Jerusalem . OK no bearing on Southend but very uplifting. Or Kylies Spinning Around ditty. :blush:

I take your point, but what happens when we play Sheffield United who are also SUFC? :winking:

I was just about to ask which club has this been borrowed from?

you are both welcome to join in with my version of "enter sandman" by metallica as a tribute to Gary Deegan...

I made this one up when Stevenage were singing their version at Roots Hall last season.

When I was young
I followed you
SUFC, the boys in Blue

I'm older now, it's still the same
I follow you, to every game

DA DA DA DA etc

From what I can gather it was Motherwell FC that first started this song.

Another generic and even more boring song.

It may be generic but it actually gets quite a few people going in the West Stand even if they only clap along and its better than the 'Everywhere we go' chant.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Every team in the country is singing that chant at the moment. I don't mind some of the new 'ultra' chants but this one is just boring.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

OK quite a few people don't like any generic boring chants which actually get the crowd going.

So that probably includes:- 'Blue Army', 'Come on Southend', 'Everywhere we go', 'Since I was young', 'When the blues go marching in', 'We follow', 'Were top of the league' (maybe!), etc etc etc

Time for these people to come up with a new song I think.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Hate it. Reminds me of Stevenage

The old TRex song Hot Love used to work for both very well .
