There is a better one taken at Craven Cottage.

It used to sung with great heart and gusto, back in the days when football was played at The Dell

I was actually trying to think of a way we could do this after our Collingwood game. The reason being that the Pies have that really annoying "Collll-iiiiiiinngggg-woooooooood" chant that they do and I wanted something we could do that would top them. Still can't figure out how we could get the whole stadium to do it is unison. Perhaps we can all start to sing "OOOOOHHHHH" and then one of the cheer squad pom-pom wavers could lift their pom-pom up and down as a signal to start the rest of the chant?
I don't actually think that this would work, but it would be pretty cool nonetheless.

Come on you Spurs!!

Sends shivers down my spine whenever I hear that. Best chant in football.

Would be almost impossible to get that going in an AFL game.

For one, you need all our supporters sitting next to each other and not scattered around the ground.

Second, AFL crowds just don't sing for any more than 10 seconds at a time. It's not in our nature.

We're destined to hear "St Kilda clap clap clap" for the rest of eternity unfortunately.

I still reckon it is not in nature because there is always something happening in the footy. Soccer is a much slower game in terms of scoring so you have time much in the same way of cricket. I also believe soccer people need to create atmosphere where as our game has the atmosphere from the way it is played. yes I dont like soccer but i am not soccer bashing this time, just giving my reasons why people will never sing at footy games.

I'd rather that we are like Man U this weekend thanks very much!

Great chant, but the best? No. Even though I don't go for them it has to be.......

[Iceman234]

Would be nice if we had enough space just to sing our song from about the 20 min mark of the last.

That's liverpool mate, but geez the KOP are is so much smaller than the rest of Anfield

[Bernard Shakey]

Easy to do when you're 2 nil up, with 5 minutes to go, in a the easiest game in the world to play.

I agree with that.

But it's not as if soccer fans sing because they're bored or because they need to create atmosphere. It's just their way of supporting their club. The bigger the rivalry, the more intense the game, the more singing that goes on.

Different cultures have their own ways of showing support.

They don't only sing during soccer games in Europe. Basketball, cricket, Davis Cup ties, ice-hockey too. Name a sport that's played over there, I bet you they sing during it.

Americans have bands and cheerleaders, they paint their faces and wave oversized hands around.

Europeans chant.

Also to do with the different demographics of the fans who turn up. Aussie Rules has a much broader ATTENDING supporter base, whereas football fans are still mostly young and middle-aged males for whom it is a truly tribal experience with all the machismo and testosterone that goes along with that.

Very true.

That is beautiful.

It's a tough chant to get going. The timing of the clapping has to be perfect. You always get a few who start clapping too early and they need to be told, "next one, next one!"

[mick13]

I dont know what they're saying, but THIS sends shivers down my spine.

I think its a countdown that starts at 0:20, how epic does it sound....



And another...
