Guest alijmitchell Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I’ve heard that song only a handful of times like. I do like that the displays focus on parts of our history and songs from the past, though. It helps connect the young supporters to our heritage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepharite Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 There used to be a "Cock of the North" pub, just south of Nevilles Cross in Durham. Its a housing estate now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit-take? spit-take noun informal (especially as a comic technique) an act of suddenly spitting out liquid one is drinking in response to something funny or surprising.

It gets sung probably once or twice a season in a pub before an away game, other than that it very rarely gets an airing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 There used to be a "Cock of the North" pub, just south of Nevilles Cross in Durham. Its a housing estate now. Aye..." Cock O' the North". The roundabout is called Cock O' the North. That's my problem with the banner felt like it should be colloquial, but I know not of the song so am certainly wrong.

Cock O' the North". The roundabout is called Cock O' the North. Aye, went to the pub as a kid. Had a play area IIRC. The chant still gets sung, like, just not at SJP. It had a few renditions in the concourse at Leicester last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 It does get sang at St James' and it gets sung in the corner. I can confirm that for one. Ill be honest, I see where people are coming from and we too thought this might be the case, but I'm slightly dumbfounded that so many fans of so many years of following the club don't know this song. Nonetheless, our intention, as always, is to connect with the club and its fanbase. We felt this connected with older generations and we are the cock of the true North. So... Make of that what you will... Chelsea will be awesome. Thanks to your help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It’s probably one of my favourite chants. Agreed it’s rarely sung these days. Then again, how many of our fans sing regularly apart from the odd ‘Toon Toon’? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I was at work but was the song being sung at the time of the banner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 "We are the Geordies the cock of the North We all hate sunlun, and Boro of course (and Leeds) We all drink whisky and Newcastle Brown The Geordie Boys are in town" It's been sung as long as I can remember going to the match (35 years). Very odd that so many people on here haven't heard of it, or maybe not so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wor jackie Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm honestly amazed that everyone does not know this song, the corner sings it every match. Heron we've got to sing louder mate !! The banners and displays we do are primarily for us, the fans, the team and Rafa, if other folk like them that's great but that's not the reason we do them. I'll admit though that this was made with the intention of having a small pop at our friends down the road ( in my mind anyway). Probably nowt new for West Brom but like Heron said Chelsea will be stunning. Purely for the team, no digs at anyone just this glorious bunch of lads who've battled for everything.
