Talking about songs, I have a football song stuck in my head after dropping the kids off at their nursery this morning. Quite why they were playing the tune of "Who's your father, referee?" I'll never know. :greensmile:

Looking at the Bantams fan forum, it seems they aren't too confident about having anything to crow about

Hopefully an unhappy return trip for some plucked birds!

Having previously spent a few years living in the Midlands, I've visited the majority of the grounds up there. Even years later, I can still remember being in awe of the Birmingham fans in full voice singing their "Keep Right On" anthem!
https://youtu.be/ke5AKdH7axE - I would love Argyle to have something similar to this. Intimidating due to the sheer volume but also full of pride and passion. Most of all, it is unique and not one of the many generic chants that the majority of clubs adopt.

Seems genuine
There are different accounts as to how the song became the fans’ favorite at the Old Eastvile Stadium. The only idea everyone seems to agree with is that it all started out in the 1950’s, a decade before “You’ll Never Walk Alone” was ever heard at Anfield and 30 years before “Blue Moon” began by Manchester City fans.
One match day in November 1950, the Plymouth Argyle team arrived at the Eastvile Stadium in style-they had an accordion player, and his work was to belt out songs from the sidelines before the game started. Among the songs played that day was Goodnight Irene by Huddie William Ledbetter, who went by the moniker Lead Belly.
Argyle drew the first blood in the first half of the match, and their fans sung out the song to taunt the home crowd. In a crazy spell that lasted all of 8 minutes in the second half, The Gas scored three goals, prompting Gasheads to shoot down the Argyle fans with their own creation, ‘Goodnight Argyle’.
In a FA quarter-final against Newcastle, Joe Stafford’s rendition reverberated around the stadium, with the rival fans even joining in for good measure. The popularity of the Goodnight Irene theme surged on among Gasheads, which was quickly taken up as the club’s anthem. The rest, as they say, is history.
Well it was good night Irene for me at Eastvile, when some dick hit me round the head with a scaffold plank, in hindsight driving to Rovers in a Vauxhall viva with Argyle
sticker in the back window and parking at the wrong end of the ground shows that relying on your mate knowing what the hell he was doing was a little naïve.
Don't remember to much of course except sitting in Torbay hospital for five hours looking like Duros out of star wars.

Just been on ticket hub, they really need to open up some more of the Lyndhurst as it will be putting people off booking late on as you will struggle to get more than 2 tickets together.
Looks at least 12000 on there already, great news :scarf:

Large crowd, scuppering an effectively direct rival in the playoff hunt, that’s bigger stakes on shoulders than we’ve had to face since all the way back to last spring, very interesting to see how the pressure impacts. COYMG. (Mighty).
