“Shall We Sing A Song For You?”

It must give the players a huge lift and a boost of self-belief, and when sitting in the North East Corner, I’m in the unenviable position of having to listen to the away fans spouting off — yet some away fans go quieter more quickly than others, depending on what’s going on on the pitch.

There are times when I read that some ‘Fulwell Enders’ have said they barely heard the Brentford fans or the Fulham fans. Well, I can tell you that early doors, all away fans make a bit of a racket. One of the loudest and best away sets of supporters for me this season were the Aston Villa and Everton fans: loud, and with two or three songs that are unique to their club.

One of my pet hates is songs that every club sings, as they’ve become very boring, tedious and almost childlike — the top three being: “Is this a library? ”, “Is there a fire drill? ” (quite apt for us, as even some of our own fans are annoyed at our early leavers) and “Where’s your famous atmosphere?

” (which actually is a backhanded compliment, as it proves we’ve become noted for our atmospheres! ). There was a time at Roker Park when during the warm-ups, each player would have their name chanted by the Fulwell End.
