Whilst its been great to sing the 'we're top of the league' chant, I think we are in need of a new song. Every now and then a new song is sung by a club and other clubs use the same song or put their own variation on using the same tune. Terrace songs have gone a bit generic. Surely we can use a tune that hasn't been used before and put some decent words to it and have our very own song that sounds quality when everyone sings it and most importantly it's unique.
So I'm setting a challenge for everyone to have a think over the summer and see if we can come up with something and come next season attempt to get it going home and away. Fans will soon pick up on it, especially at away games I think. Some clubs have some quality songs, and think it would be great to have our own. I will have a think and post my own suggestion too. Feel free to shoot me down for the idea, but for the creative ones on here post your ideas and lets see what we can come up with.

I wouldn't shoot this idea down, it would be decent to do something to our own tune.
For the record that 'and that's the way we like it, like it, like it' chant is fucking shite and very cringeworthy given that non league sides have been singing it before us

Please be upstanding for the manager of Swindon Town.
There we go, feeds the XTC fetish and it doesn't actually matter who's in charge of us. The fact that we'd sound like bellends might impede it's chances a bit...

ok, you're gonna have to work with me here.
This is a children's song in the US (not heard it over here, but maybe it is around). Having said that, it would be easy for everyone to learn! Someone will have to figure out the verses, but substitute B-I-N-G-O with D-I-CAN-I-O and you'll have the idea...

Ha ha Sam!! I will never forget that day  That Ken Barlow song is ace!!! Would love to make our own version of that. Genius! And yes, I agree, thats the way we like it chant is sung by so many teams now. I hate copying other teams chants. Defo gonna rack my brains on this, we need something decent. Ken Barlow has given me inspiration to think of something new and creative! |

We're going up
We're going up
We're going
Swindon's going up.
x4
Everyone loves the mighty Town,
Through all the ups and do-o-owns,
We believe,
We support.
That Swindon's gonna,
Play in the Prem,
With Paolo still there,
We're just waving goodbye,
To Oxford scu-um.
Steam train on the shirt,
Salubritas et industria,
20 years of hurt,
Never stopped us dreaming.
I know that was then,
But it will be againnnnnnn..
We're going up.
We're going.
Swindon's going up.
We're going up
We're going up
We're going.
Swindon's going up.
(Repeat til fade)
(We could have a very nice canon going on here with the Town End and Don Rogers, singing 'We're going up' and 'Steam train on the shirt' respectively)
To the tune of: Three Lions by you know who, Lightning Seeds!
Feel free to change the lyrics, it's not great.
I absolutely love this tune and I think it will work.
Maybe we've done this in the past, but I haven't been a long Swindon supporter.
Or maybe this tune is saved for national use only.. No idea.

I've always thought that "Wrapped In Grey" would be amazing sung at a match...it's got nothing to do with football, but always sends a shiver down my spine! |
