Baldyman Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Sat next to a fella yesterday who wasn’t too keen on the quality of the songs at the Gate these days and it got me thinking of the chants of old . All time classics such as “ you’re gonna get your ******* heads kicked in” and “ you’ll never take the East End “ remind me of my formative years in the East End . My all time fav being the one about eating a dead cat from a dustbin , I just wondered what other little ditties are most missed from yester year ? Many for various reasons clearly won’t have aged well but just thought I’d throw the question out there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhhshauntaylor Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 There’s some “old player” chants that I would be all for singing even now. Super Scott usually sung @ away games- no reason this can’t be one sung during the game or at home IMO we had the HNM one yesterday despite him being in the squad, so actually no reason why we can’t just bring back some older ones to keep the atmosphere going. I like the “here’s to you Robert Atkinson” song, that one needs some more airtime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Ohhhhhhh the dooby dooby do!! That was an absolute classic in the 80’s & 90’s. The fact that so many of our decent players don’t even have a song is really poor though. The next generation of the East End really need to up their game from the constant Jay Dasilva & HNM efforts. Im thinking Kalas, Martin & James in particular should have recognisable chants by now. Would love to hear the Baker song more often aswell. I think I heard ‘Oh Robert Atkinson’ on Saturday which has potential though to be fair. C’mon you Reds.
