What were they singing all game?
I was sitting in the Riverside Block X and they were bouncing up and down and chanting as hard as they could but I couldn't make out a word.
Anyone pick it up?
They gave Ross a lot of stick when he took corners but again I couldn't make out anything they were saying.
I know it wasn't complements they were shouting......
I did see, before the start of the game, a group chanting drunkenly at the Johnny Statue, which drew vitriolic response from FFC fans.
Horsey police moved in quickly
You have to give them credit as they didn't stop singing even when they were down 3-nil
Still I'd be interested in what they were singing. Banter isn't banter if you cant understand a word.
I don't know and I couldn't care. I was there to see the game and the biggest laugh they gave me all afternoon was when their shot at goal missed and they thought it had gone in.
In terms of support very impressive, 4000 who didn't stop singing all game, most vocal home support I've heard for a while too.
I understand it's meant to be motivational to the team (allegedly) but I personally find the majority of `singing/chanting' to be unrecognisable jibberish.
Either that or it is disrespectful and vulgar.
My personal favourite from (all) supporters of the opposition that visit CC is the legendary rant about the level of our support.
Childish.
They were singing "You Southern Softies Cant Make Proper Yorkshire Puddins"
So I started singing back"YEAH BUT WERE GOOD AT TOAD IN THE HOLE" :dft011:

Brilliant support

Anyone else hear the group of them singing "who the f#####g hell is that" pointing at the JH statue outside before the game?
I'm all for banter but surely someone with a statue regardless of whether it's outside Wembley or Craven Cottage deserves to be admired and respected because they must've achieved something special.
Not to mention the gentleman they didn't know was one of the greatest talents england has ever produced and played 56 times for england and captained england at a world cup.
It's not just northerners because I can imagine London fans being that ignorant but it strikes me as a lack of intelligence.
Maybe I'm just sensitive about these things but it wound me up

They were signing 'if you dont f......g bounce, if you don't f.....g bounce then you're a blade' hence the bouncing
Blade being shef uniteds nickname, derby did this same this year but to red in reference to notts forest
I thought the Wednesday fans we arguably the best i have seen in my 15/16 years i have been to the cottage, the volume was impressive and set there platform for a great atmosphere and a great day

In Kit I trust ....
When Mccormack was taking they corner they chanted "Leeds scum, We fu**ing hate Leeds scum"
A decent, chatty and ever so slightly drunk group in the Brickies. For some of them the day had started at 7am with beer and a full breakfast. One of the young guns had just been fined for texting his girlfriend and had to down a pint, SheepDip was chosen and the poor lad suffered. I trust his girlfriend loves him dearly. The downer for me was the fourth pint, they made me do it, required a visit to the gents just before half time to avoid the rush, the just before half time when Hutchison scored. Damn them all!!!
Did anyone see what happened to the older Wednesday fan who tripped up the kerb by the entrance into the Palace. I offered to help but the constabulary took over. He looked in a great deal of pain.
Forget about the boinging up and down and the constant singing what about the backdrop. An awesome sun set.
Reminded me of Portsmouth. They sang win or lose. Brought the Hammy to life.
I swapped over to the neutral end (or "mixed", as it said on the ticket) for this match as I went with a Wednesday mate from my uni days, and I have to say that their support was amazing. Fair play to them, they got royally stuffed (the shoreline was a bit flattering, perhaps) but they kept on having a good time right to the end.
They were quite vocal in the Ox before too, but generally a sociable bunch.
Good my meet you yesterday ScalleyDad... Thanks for the half time snack!
Likewise. The pies actually came from The Enclave where half time munchies is almost like a game of spoof. "Sir I will trump your bolognaise tartlets with a fine selection of cheeses on slithers of home baked Mediterranean ciabatta". I am not sure what the pie filling in the middle was but no side affects thus far.
I would like to point out that I did wash my hands before offering aforementioned snack.
Brilliant support from them so close to Xmas.Dont think I've ever seen so many p×@*%d up away fans in my life, I thought those northerners could drink
I got to the game late and there were a fair few wandering around drunk that either weren't allowed in or had been ejected. Was chatting to a couple as they just wanted to know the nearest pub.
One bare chested 50 year old was surrounded by about 8 coppers by the gates though.
Yeah Mr B said look their doing then Celtic Bouncy Bouncy, obviously being a Scot and Hearts fan he's seen it a lot. I asked him what they were singing and he said mostly a mixture of swear words!!
xma1
Without wishing to sound patronising to either group of supporters it was said that a trip to Fulham is an easy, relaxed away day. Plenty of pubs, no hassle and "the quaint old ground" where you can stand for the duration. The group I was having a pre match nerve calmer with were telling stories about the problems of going to the likes of anywhere up north and Cardiff and how yesterdays fixture was a must. I think their Club had a decent ticketing policy as well. Have to say that unless the mood changes markedly when they go to Clubs in Yorkshire and around Birmingham I could not see them as louts and oiks.
Wow 4 pints

Pay back all the way home though and I am supposed to be under the Landrover now doing welding type things but I just can't summon the energy. Still three points and the 'line of under achievement' we have in the office will be fun for me for once.
they were singing "if you don't f***ing bounce, if you don't f***ing bounce then your a blade..." (repeat) in reference to Sheffield united fans being called the blades

Didn't the Hammersmith end start the old classic song yesterday when playing northern sides of ''we pay your benefits''?
Fantastic away support,best I can remember.had beer with a group of them before the game seemed good lads.

In culinary terms, we should have been singing; "Try
Parkin the bus, and you won't let in four....."

Love the fact he felt it necessary to show the lyrics to the song 'Wednesday', which goes.......'Wednesday' (clap clap clap)... repeat. I do live near Sheffield, so in his defence, he was probably going on the safe side!
It does remind me of the Skol beer advert from the 80's, when the Viking in the pub isn't singing the 'Skol Skol Skol Skol Skol Skol' song and when asked why, he replies....I don't know the words! Maybe it was just me...... fp.gif
They were great supporters, and had a few words with a group in the Crabtree......when I mentioned the 6-1 drubbing in the 60s and their brilliant midfielder that day, Peter Kay.....I got a completely blank look from the youngsters amongst them, and one old guy shook my hand and said...'There's a lady who knows her football"
Hope our young fans wouldn't look blankly if JH was mentioned :022:
They kept saying "It's a bit different down here !" Don't know what they meant :021:
I thought the Wednesday fans were awesome yesterday - They reminded me of the days when half the stadium didn't walk out because the side were losing. Staying to the end and making the most of it is definitely my kind of supporting. Easily the best away fans I've seen at the cottage in terms of number and support - if you forget numbers making the trip then some of the Europa league visitors have also been impressive - Basle and CSKA in particular.
Super sunset by the way - The new stand will block that out won't it?

I think the Peter Kay you refer to was in fact Tony Kay, who was banned for life along with Peter Swan and Bronco Layne, for bribery. Both Tony and Peter were England Internationals but where uncovered by The Sunday People back in the sixties. It's very true that Tony was a brilliant player, who did destroy us that day and I believe was reinstated, he went on to play for Everton.
I'm so thick I thought JMS meant the comedian.

You're a lady?
That's thrown me. Probably because of you avatar but I presumes you're a bloke
Personally I thought they were great.
Sang all game and after as well.
Singing:-
4-0 and we dont give a f***! on the way back to the coach in the Fulham road.
Lol - Great stuff!

My mistake Claire ! I called him Peter instead of Tony. No wonder you got confused :doh: Probably didn't help that his sidekick was 'Peter' Swan, and that I'm an OAP with a frazzled brain !!!
Have a good Xmas with Mr B xmascheer1
Yeah I was raking my brains thinking is Peter Kay from Sheffield then when you said it.
Off to Edinburgh Tuesday, think my nephew will be expecting me to play football with him again. Problem is his hero is Ronaldo so he could be dissappointed with my pathetic attempts. I'm going to buy him a Ronaldo calender tomorrow to make up for it!!!
I was sat in the Putney end as I went with a few old mates from Uni who were Sheffield lads.
Doing ole's at 3-0 down when they put together a string of passes was particularly funny.
They also had a chant about their CB Semedo which I thought was great:
HE'S MAGIC, YOU KNOOOOOW, YOU'LL NEVER GET PAST SEMEEEEDOOOOO....
Mainly sung after being already 2-0 down!
They were brilliant bouncing around at 4-0, but then again, it was a proper day out for most of them.
My mates were saying they've got so used to Wednesday losing over the last few years (despite the recent resurgence) they rarely get bothered when they get hammered, they are just happy to be above United!
I tried to get a chant going of 'You're just a poo Leeds United'
