Here's one you don't hear much anymore (thankfully, but it is a good tune!
)
He's only a poor little scouser
His face was all tattered and torn
He made me feel sick
So I hit him with a brick
And now he don't sing anymore
Even more embarrassing was the chant aimed at Davies (top bloke, even if he did play for Dire, very out of order) describing his large nose, which has already been mentioned on this thread. I recall him saying at one point in an interview that the one thing he didn't like about RL was the personal abuse players got, which didn't happen much in RU.
Good to see the atmosphere being created by the young 'uns today (and the few more mature singers!). The home atmosphere is woeful though these days. The DW during the WCC was like a library.
Things could be a bit quiet even at CP but most matches the atmosphere was a lot better than at the DW (and the big games with 25k+ crowds on were incredible). Fairly run of the mill games could be great though, I remember taking a RU supporting mate to a Wigan v Bradford game in the 90s at CP, his first ever live RL match. Piling out of the Sullivan Bar pints in hand, watching inflatable sheep (
) getting thrown in the air around the Popular Side and people singing "Baa baa baa ba baa, baa baa baa baa baa, SHEEEEP" to the Hovis ad tune and "All Yorkshire men s&*g sheep" to the tune of On Ilkley Moor. Those were the days.
