Wrexham played Chester today and lost 2-0, a banner was produced

The mentality, the sheer moronic psyche of some people:

Classless twats.

What exactly does it refer to?

Judging by the thread on Deva Chat, Chester fans had graffited a memorial at the Racecourse Ground in the days leading to today's grudge match, I think to some mining disaster, and in some sick retort the Wrexham fans put these banners together to mock the recent deaths of two Chester fans, one of whom was a child from what I can gather. The banner was not taken down by stewards for a good 20 mins by which time it had been passed halfway along the Mold End Road side of the ground.

As far as I can (from their forum) tell 2 Chester fans that died in the past, one hung himself, one fell from the wall (originally blamed on being pushed by Wrexham fans).

I know we've had some that used to like the 'lampost' song...

What was the 'lamppost' song in reference to?

I think he means the "who's that wrapped around the lamppost" song from years ago.

Peter Houseman of Oxford, crashed his car, and there was a song that used to be sung about it - mainly at the derby games.

Very similar to the Munich stuff that was sung against man u - same tune as "lying on the runway"

I must admit to singing it in the past, but things were allot different then, it was probably 30 years ago, and attitudes were different.

IMO - not in the same league as mocking some kid who apparently hung himself

Wasn't it Martin Aldridge?

Peter Houseman

Is about Aldridge these days, well since he died anyway which must have been 10-12 years ago now I guess.

Predictably sung by a handfull during the JPT game at the 3 sided tip.

Had never heard of Houseman. Sad story that.

used to play left wing for Chelsea - left 3 kids 7,5 and 2

I was in the same class as Houseman's 7 year old in Witney - I still remember that as a horrible, horrible day.

Wow, that's a horrible story. Two sets of children orphaned. Horrible :(

Not sure why they'd add the 'One Dead Club' bit. Since that happened they've made a new club and climbed back up to the exact same level Wrexham are at. That's hardly something to be mocked.

I don't think logic is their greatest attribute.
