Darlo Uncovered

With lots of people going to cram in the tin shed at Blackwell I reckon we could here some old songs. Starter for ten "Walk on" with scarves?

Whilst I agree we do need to create a good atmosphere, like there was at Harrogate last week, not too much nostalgia, please! Some of the chants would be meaningless to the younger generation such as:-

Said Joe Mercer to Bill Shankley,
Have you heard of the North Bank, Highbury?
No said Shanks, I don't think so
But I've heard of the Tin Shed Aggro

Some people would also like to bring back the old wooden rattles. Anyone carrying one these days would be done for having an offensive weapon!























;

Come all without,
Come all within,
Come to the Shed
And get your head kicked in.

Perhaps not quite politically correct these days.

haha "come to the tin shed and get your head kicked in"
wtf i remember a few rochdale and port vale supporters running it! and taking it!
the only time i remember when we had any sort of crew was when the west stand was used every home game for a few seasons.
yeah obviously there will have been a few game lads in the shed maybe you and darlogramps the fuckn tosser were two of them haha.

How about coming up with a new piece of music for the team coming onto the pitch when we return to Darlo. I dont know much about music myself so unable to make any suggestions, but I am sure some of you fans will have plenty of ideas.

I remember reading here that the players themselves chose the music to come onto the pitch.

I remember a similar one, "1,2,3,4,5, if you wanna stay alive, keep out the Tin Shed". Probably dates to about 1985.

Pie boy and Elvis

For the first match at Blackwell Meadows, there can surely only be one contender:-

Thin Lizzy's 'The boys are back in town'

Definitely. Great Song, great group. One of my favorite groups, saw them twice at Reading and several times at Newcastle's City Hall.

I always use to say "We never left!" when it was played.

Which in a sense is true for the Darlo as, although we went to Bishop we all felt that we would always come "Back in Town"

Seriously, you need to let it go. Your obsession with me is unhealthy.

I think you secretly have a crush on me....

As for songs, is The Boys Are Back In Town not a little too obvious?

Cracking track, don't get me wrong.

We are the West Stand, the West Stand ,the West Stand Darlington

Family did a track called Hometown, but probs a bit quiet for an entry song.

Rory Gallagher's "Going To My Hometown" probably more likely. Get our drummer to check it out, easy enough to accompany I would think.

Hello , by oasis.

Purely for the ' its good to be back ' line

Oh no, nothing by Oasis please...

Gary Glitter song ya mean. No thx.

Didn't there used to be a chant based on 'Do you want to be in my gang'?

Come on, come on...

Far better than Thin Lizzy.

I was at Finsbury Park for the opening night of Oasis' first comeback and they opened with that and the whole place was electric.

If our long awaited homecoming is to be December then how about "Driving Home for Christmas!" (By the way where does Chris Rea live these days I liked him?)

No, just no.

OK that song is crap but he did have some other good ones which I will not name to avoid being ridiculed on here!
