    Songs We No Longer Sing

    Funnily enough I was watching the Inverness- Killie game last night and the home fans sung a lot of the same songs as we do, changed to suit though, of course.

    I think I got the right amount of "na's".

    Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Blues! The old King song. Sang that for a while mid 80s.

    What Was Your…

    Remember an away match Mid 80s. Sure it was Easter Monday. We went to Ipswich away. On the way we stopped at a Little Chef (younger readers should Google it). There were some well-dressed blokes a couple of tables away and it turns out they were directors - they had CCFC blazers on, no idea...

    Ah apologies. Maybe, I always thought it was the Blues match. Well, it was MY first ever Sunday game.

    What Was Your…

    Yeah, I can remember some awful games. Ones that stick in the mind: - the 5-1 defeat at Filbert Street, Christmas 83 or 84. Only highlight was Bobby Gould running on the pitch for some reason. -Full Members cup game at Stoke City, around 85/86. Only 16 of us in the away end. Can't remember...

    You might be right. I've always thought it was the 4-4 Blues match. Memory could be playing tricks on me, I suppose.

    That was a brilliant game. The only match my late Mom ever went to. Such a beautiful day too. One of those days when everything was perfect.

    Songs We No Longer Sing

    The classic, "Kill! Kill! Jimmy Hill!" during one of his less popular phases. Around the time of the Washington Diplomats debacle.

    Remember One Man Went To Mow being sung a lot in the mid 80s, not sure why. Also, "can you hear the <team name> sing? No, no. Can you hear the <team name> sing? I can't hear a fucking thing, woah woah woah" Any others?

    The Orange Ball

    Can remember a few times in the snow and/or fog the crowd singing, "we want an orange ball, orange ball, orange ball..." Sadly missed chant that.

    What Was Your…

    Our first ever Sunday game vs Blues at HR. What a game that was. Remember playing Chelsea at HR stood on the Kop, pissing down with rain. Stands out as it was the day the Grand National was called off. Was it the IRA? Can't remember.

    What Was Your…

    My first game was October 1972 on my 7th birthday, but the first game I actually remember is the infamous 2-2 draw vs Bristol City. Another match that sticks in the memory is the 7-1 defeat at WBA, my fist ever away game. I vividly remember the Cup Semi Final vs Leeds at Hillsborough. Was...

    I took my girlfriend - now wife - to that. It was brilliant. She loved it and asked if it was always this exciting. I said, "absolutely".

    Yeah, we were really close to home fans at Huddersfield on Saturday. Same with the Rotherham fans the other week. All part of the fun.

    What are you snobby about?

    Growing up in the 70s and 80s my Mom refused to watch ITV as she thought it was "common". Just the BBC for us.
