you'd think really that they'd adapt an anthem based the be bop deluxe classic 'sister seagull'

 

 

bit of improvisation on the opening few lines shouldn't be beyond them...

 

Sister seagull, oh you're flying me to high
Feels so dizzy underneath your open skies
And it's strange the games we play to hide the crime
Sister seagull you're the reason I survive

Over a decade ago I watched a load of AFC Wimbledon games. They sang "Can't help falling in love" by Elvis a lot.

 

From Wiki - "The song is used as an anthem by several English football clubs since the 1960s, including Huddersfield Town, Hull City, Swindon Town and Sunderland."

 

I could understand trying to get attention for something that is solely theirs, but simply not well known. But every fucker knows that song, and plenty of clubs use it themselves.

Fucking hell, I I thought I was just about the only person in the world who'd heard of and was a fan of Be Bop Deluxe,

to be honest i just googled songs with seagulls in the title and that came up!

in fairness I do remember there being a band with that name in that era but wouldn't have been able to name any of their songs. I was a punk in waiting in the early/mid 70s more in to t-rex, sweet, slade. shamefully dark side of the moon even passed me by till a few years after it was released.  :(

Surely these lads would have been more obvious. Interestingly enough, they featured two members of toontastic.

It was Alan Robson who started the use of Local Hero pre-match wasn't it? About the only decent legacy of his cringeworthy "make some noise!" bullshit.

Next up, they'll be claiming it's a fucking outrage that Jarrow Song references 'geordie boys' because it's where Sooperfan Steve Cram is from.

Apparently he usually wore it flat, Mr. Logic style…

 

 

… but the pic was taken after he’d laid his cable, tried to wipe his arse with his hands, then had a brief moment of clarity and sat with his head in his hands…
