Agree!

Certain songs work. It's the cadence, key and punchy nature of EMCs which makes it work. The Sakamoto doesn't work as a chant on any level.

Probably because most clubs are now selling retro gear themselves whereas in years gone by Toff were the only real player in the market.

Couldn't agree more. The current Sakamoto song just doesn't work as a football chant. You can barely hear it when its sung. Contrast that with EMCs which is pretty much perfect for a stadium chant, just like the old Co'H, Hamer and Gyokeres ones were.

Busst scored our goal v Wimbledon in the opening match of 94/95. I sat in the newly opened East Stand. Another pathetic crowd of about 10K I think.

We have to take food with us everywhere (my youngest is coeliac too). The options in and around the stadium are shite. Further afield Playwrights is brilliant (we go there sometimes) and Golden Cross in town is really good.

Speaking as a coeliac somewhere offering GF options would be a nice novelty. Literally limited to a jacket potato from M&S atm, and good luck getting a table in their with the kids on a matchday.

Yeah I have these. They were from the 95/96 season but didn't last long from memory. I'll dig them out.

The only shinned 35 yard goal on record.

Careful. Our average attendance was 9K in L2 7 years ago and is now over 27K.

Now hang on. Nobody has said Weymouth as a team they hate. Retract immediately!

MK Dons is a good shout

Yeah I was there for that too. I only get to about 6 games a season. I know how to pick well....

Your son doesn't support Coventry? My kids would be living in the shed. If they were lucky.

Leicester - our only 2 way rivalry. Villa never have and never will give a shit about us. Its embarrassing on our part. Sunderland - love the foaming at the mouth lunacy from their fans about 1977 that only became a 'thing' when social media told them it was Yeovil - not even Coventry related...

This was the other one I was thinking of!

There was another video which started with a Tommy English goal in the early 80s (before my time) and then showed pretty much every goal of the 88/89 - 90/91 seasons. Was that the 101 'greatest goals' one?... Can't find my thoughts on Amazon about that one though.

I think I'm thinking of 2 different DVDs. This was the one in my head but its clearly not called 101 greatest goals. I remember being so non-plussed by it I left an 2 star Amazon review 12 years ago. I include here for your reading pleasure 🤣: This DVD is supposed to showcase the best...

That 101 greatest goals was less a compilation of our '101 greatest goals' and more a compilation of 101 goals that they were able to secure the rights to show. I swear to god there is a penalty on it. It has Micky Quinn on the cover.
