Well other songs were sung too, in fact I heard quite a bit of variety for a change. I also think that particular song was partly a response to the Wovers fans singing 'that's why you're going down' earlier in the game.
Most of our songs are pretty shit if you think about it. It's just good to have some atmosphere and energy behind the team. Let's face it, we need all the atmposphere we can get compared to the silence that's been found throoughout the duration of the season. Even if that's just rubbish clapping then it's a start.

IT was still shit.
I wouldn't have minded if this season had felt like a real effort to stay up, it just seemed more like it was a lucky default because there were teams which happened to be more shit than us, if that makes sense.
Nothing at all like the awesomeness of Peterborough back whenever.

Yes it was not as dramatic as Peterborough by any means but left me just as happy, I went mental when we bagged the winner. Not a great season by any means but we may be about to see the start of something bigger now, we finally have a manager that the majority are confident in and whos eye for a player looks good. Mex got it spot on when he posted that yesterday was what football was all about big crowd, local derby, tension and the result we needed. I am not for dampening celebrations why should we not be happy, we are not going to be in the lowest league in the professional game, we have some decent away days next season and we should be saying goodbye to a lot of the wasters in our squad. For me that means big celebrations. |

Don't agree, we have now got 52 points with one game left and I can't remember the last time that a team with that points tally got relegated. If we had stayed up with less than 50 then I would agree it was because the rest were shit. As for celebrating yesterday's result. If we had got relegated & promoted next season would we have celebrated promotion, of course we would. Well we start next season in the same position as if that had happened, and that in itself is reason to be happy. So in those immortal words "Don't Worry, Be happy"  |

I'm not saying that we shouldn't have celebrated. Just that song. Didn't like it.

Its all very well people criticising the songs that are sung but thats our fan base, like it or not and if people have such an issue with what is sung, then perhaps they should get off their butts and try and do something about it.
I personally will join in with pretty much anything if it means theres some type of atmosphere and I couldn't care less who likes it or not!

Since when was football fandom so over-evaluated! Should we just sit/stand there and mutter disappointingly week in/week out? People travel up and down the country paying to watch football and many would much rather travel to Charlton than to Accrington, is that a crime? Heaven forbid many are happy that we've avoided relegation. |

Well that's you then and you're part of the problem of rubbish songs. You should be ashamed. |

Bring back the good old days when virtually every player had a song of their own, and we used to sing them all before kick-off. "He's here, he's there, he's every fucking where, Alan Mayes, Alan Mayes" "Andy, Andy, Rowland. Andy, Andy Rowland". "Chris Kamara, Chris Kamara, la la la la la la". I blame all you young 'uns, who aren't educated enough to come up with classic songs like that Anyway, Fuck it, I'm going off to get all nostalgic now. Any ideas how many tickets we've sold for next week, and what (if any) the likelihood is that we now let Peterborough have the Away Terrace? |

I am indeed benji! Write some new material and teach me and I'll try something a little more nostalgic |

I cant believe in what is probably, almost definitely his last home game. He scores twice, wins us the game which keeps us up, breaks the 30 goal barrier for the season and gets the Swindon post war most league goals in a season record
......and we still couldnt chant his name!!
