Brief and very much of the 'moment' - Away at Ayresome Park, late 1980's. We were getting dogs load of abuse from the locals. For those not old enough or just don't recall - around this time there was a major investigation into alleged child abuse within families in the area, dubbed 'The Cleveland child abuse scandal'. Kids were being placed into care in large numbers.
Somebody had the bright idea for a song which soon ripped through our little corner terrace - "Where's yer children gone, where's yer children gone"?

I seem to recall a period in the 1990s where every away game seemed to produce a great new chant....

"Team of Breens" yellow submarine & the "Chippo, Hadji,... Chippo, Hadji, Hadji, Keano" to the tune of lip-up fatty by bad manners were two of those that proper caught on....

The East Terrace used to sing ‘Mow-a-Meadow’ (one man and his dog, spot, suckmycock’, went to mowameadow)

East Terrace and West Terrace used to sing ‘give us a song’ to each other...and then both would boo the Main Stand when they tried half heartedly.

Really? East Terrace (or otherwise) used to sing 'One man went to mow'? That's a Chelsea song of yore. Don't ever recall us singing that one.

I completely remember one man went to mow chant during mid 80’s in the west end, I think we sat in WT6 to the left of the goal and when it was quiet a bloke behind me used to sing it on his own very loudly but had his own lyrics!

One man went to mow
Went to mow a meadow
One man and his dog “Spot”
Bottle of pop
Suck my cock!
Went to mow a meadow.......

As a youngster I used to howl with laughter!!

OK. Really don't recall that one. Then again, I was 'out of the loop' for large spells 1983 -1987.

"City score, City score, if you get one you'll get more". Whatever happened to that one? Did its demise coincide during large spells of not even getting one?

I remember that. The main memory of that game that I have was that the police let their dogs run wild in the bottom terrace of the home end to stop their fans running onto the pitch. It was like Beirut.

I remember the song but I think it was to the tune of the 'Banana Boat Song'. That would make for an interesting remix to the tune of the 'Um Bongo' ad!

You are correct it wasn’t the umbungo tune just been singing it in the shower but I think the words are about right it’s been a long time and unlike teams like Man Utd our fans don’t really sing about past heroes.

My All time favourite is a Man City one sung to 'lord of the dance'

Sven Sven wherever you maybe
You are the boss of Man City
You can shag my wife on my settee
If we win a cup at wemberley
