I've got loads in my hit parade, but a particular song (not chant) we used to sing back in the 70s was ... with thanks to Terry Jacks for a shite song (google 'Seasons in the Sun' if you're under 60) ...

We had joy, we had fun
We had Preston on the run
But the joy didn't last
'Coz the bastards ran too fast

Or was it 'coz the sparrows flew too fast?🤪

Seriously, and there's no pressure on, what's your No.1 chant?

And it would be great to know the reason why.👌

Looking forward to seeing your responses (later this afternoon) lads - hope they're crackers otherwise I'm gonna fork-right off out of this country!

Cheers 🧡
 
At the time, under the influence of alcohol, it seemed funny:

Lee Martin’s disco pants are the best.
They go right from his arse to his chest.
They are better than Alan Wright’s;
Lee Martin’s….disco pants.

But now, well, I’m not sure what we were thinking about.
 
There were a few…

“You’re going home in a Blackpool Ambulance”

“The referee’s a wanker”

“Who’s the bastard in the black”
 
One specific rendition of what was, at the time, a regular in the repertoire of, "Ten Men Went to Mow a Meadow".

It was around 1984, up at Darlington. Won 3-0 as I recall, virtually ensuring promotion from the 4th Division under Sam Ellis.

Also up until some point in the 1990s, "YNWA". Wembley, 1992 vs Scunthorpe, video somewhere on YouTube with it belting out around the stadium.

Also, at The Homecoming, in the build up to the match the entire ground singing "Woke up this morning feeling fine".

Oh and "We only carry hatchets, to bury in your 'ead" that was nice.

Wayne Gill, Wayne Gill,
Waynie Waynie Gill.
He's got no hair but we don't care,
Waynie Waynie Gill.

One of the few highlights from an otherwise miserable night at Wigan
 
Call me sentimental but timeless classics such as 'You're gonna get your fkin heads kicked in' and 'You're going home in a fkin ambulance' always remind me of the Bloomfield Rd kop in the early 70s 🤕

Billy Blilly Bentley! Bily Bentley hatchet man.

We are mad in the head ! No one takes the scratching sheds.

We’re from down Back Henry St.

Alan Suddick born is the King.

The best trip in 2010

Blackpool are back walking from Preston station to the ground late 70’s early 80’s and Leicester in 2007

One man went to mow 84’

Go left go left 70’s/early 80’s

Still love sea sea sea Seasiders though!
 
I know it's not our song but the current "Everywhere we go" seems to work well and great when the whole ground joins in.

Perhaps the club should consider lifting the ban on people in the South singing ?
 
How about these two from the early 60’s.
”2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate, B-l-a-c-k-p-double o-l, Blackpool!( menacing or what)!
“Blackpool, cha,cha,cha.” Repeated a few times. Which originated after the Brazil chant during the 1962 World Cup as I recall.
Favourite for me though gotta be “Day Trippers go home” totally unique to The Pool!

Get back on your bus 😛👍
 
One that sticks in my mind was the "time to go x 8 F off one against Burnley when they were exiting the Gene Kelly after a 3-0 defeat on NYD fantastic use of wit & sarcasm.

Same game: “Who put the ball in the Burnley net X3, half of ** Blackpool! 🤣
 
Memories of being 5 in the scratching sheds hearing one guy yell
"Dobbin (Gary Brabin) are you worried?
You ** should be, you worry me"

How about different lyrics to we had joy.

we had joy we had fun
had our season in the sun
but the fun couldn’t last
cause the rapist stole our cash.

apparently.

This is probably my favourite chant and for a bit of useless information/ pub ammo.

I was at a Northumberland Fusiliers museum yesterday and the regiment from there adopted it from a Geordie folk song called “Blaydon Races“.
 
A simple "Tangerine, Tangerine, Tangerine"
or the UB40 'du du duuur d-d-d duuur' but only if Hoggy is drumming cos he does brilliant drumming to that that the other drummer(s?) can't replicate.
 
Ooh it's a corner, repeat 4 or 5 times.

Best trip.

Woke up this Morning.

Who ate all the pies.

Last time I heard 10 men went to mow was at Huddersfield, their last game at their old ground.
 
One of my faves from the past, unfortunately the squad numbering system means we can't sing it these days😰

We've got Harry Thomson, number one
We've got Harry Thomson, number one
We've got Harry Thomson, number one
We've got the best team in the land!

Repeat for numbers two to eleven and finishing with an amazing, rising crescendo of noise and roaring madness - if that makes sense!

👍🧡😎
 
When the whole ground sings "Sea Sea Seasiders" - is always emotional; as is the Hoggy lead response to the opposition scoring, which no other supporters can replicate.
The funniest has to be (when sung in retaliation to the away supporters chant) the banned song of "I'd rather have a tower .....
 
The one lone voice starting the Sea-Sea-Seasiders chant, then the rest of the South Paddock then joining in.
Sent shivers down my spine when I was a kid.
 
‘Woke up this morning’ at the homecoming was pretty special.

‘He’s shit, he’s scouse, he’ll rob your fuckin’ house, David Eyres, David Eyres’

‘There’s only oooone Tony Ellis, oooone Tony Ellis, walking along, singing a song, walking in an Ellis wonderland’ Was this also the song for Big John Murphy?

I do think the new array of chants that last for ages are particularly good, well done to the north contingent for that 👏
 
And who can forget the 80’s classic

“You’re gonna get your Fkin Heads Kicked in”
*Repeat to fade

👍
 
In the Net - repeated whenever we had a corner in the early 70's

Blackpool boys we are here woho woho, Blackpool boys we are here woho, woho, Blackpool boys we are here we'll shag your women and drink your beer

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, I do like to be beside the sea I do like to be upon the ompromprom where the Blackpool Kop sing.... FUCK OFF West Brom!!

"We hate Forest and we hate Man U etc., all it ended with "but we are the Preston haters!!"
 
“The Dutch …. It’s like watching the Dutch …. It’s just like watching the Dutch”

I remember a cup game where we passed Stockport off the park in the days of Wellens,Ormerod,Murphy when Stockport were in the championship and this was sung continuously.

Love the chant because it’s unique to Tangerine
 
One of my favourites i flew over for the parade 2010 when Ollie was singing We are Premier League on stage always plays on my mind when play offs are on
 
Always look on the sea-side of life / always look on the Turf Moor for shite

1-2-3 and a bit, pne are f...ing shit
 
Sea Sea Seasiders was the one that got me, when I first watched Pool. We used to sing it a lot more, I thought pretty intimidating when a few thousand were singing it.
