Best I've ever heard it is 0:44 onwards here, after the 1974 FA Cup final. Hope to hear it like that but after a cup win this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Aye I can remember watching Emlyn Hughes walking up but all you could hear was us. Keegan even commented on our support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking spine tingling and everything this club and it’s supporters are about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Can we not get some handouts with the words to Blaydon Races, I've heard about 99 different interpretations by various fans over recent years. Maybe we need a Geordie hymn book 🤣. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I’ll be starting as much ‘rogue’ stuff as I can in Trafalgar Square on Saturday night. Get it right there, and it’ll be taken into the ground. Takeover Night, I left SJP after 2 hours or so after finishing my cans and went to the Strawberry. I’d been there from just before it was announced, and I must have heard the same 6 songs on repeat for 2 hours. Can’t blame the young lads, they’ve probably never heard the songs tbf. But they need to be educated and they need to WANT to be. A lot of my education was having a ST next to the Toon Ultras and travelling on away buses as a young lad (14+).

TheGuv Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Pretty sure Toon Ultras website had the words to songs IIRC.

Is how it was sung when I was amongst it still. To be fair, I don’t doubt that there are more than two versions of it - most of the times I remember it is on away trips in the ‘90s and ‘00s - usually pubs / coaches only. I think the ‘we are the pride of …’ is the bit which most clubs who use the song sing (I’m sure I’ve heard the Mancs sing it, Villa too) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 First NUFC songs I was ever told as a kid by my dad were the Terry Hibbitt on the wing song, "Hallelujah John Tudor" and "N and an E and a W, C...". Slightly annoying how we never bring out the old songs at games. Has happened a couple times this season about old players, remember singing the Andy Cole song down at Fulham. Should happen more.

Drinking songs are as old as drinking. It strikes me as a bit po-faced to frown at it - the song isn’t meant to be literally true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
