There will be 20000 people there who have never even heard the Doyle/Kelly chant, let's not try and start chants that people who go week in week out don't know!
Long-time Cov fan here, veteran of Highfield Road, etc.... I just posted a tweet saying we should do a tongue-in-cheek version of Liverpool's Allez Allez Allez chant. It's the best terrace song I've heard in years and we could make it our own at Wembley (I've heard it Anfield and it's epic when it gets going, it just goes and goes for ages).
"We've conquered all of League Two
We're never gonna stop
From Swindon up to County
We've won the fcking lot.
Mark Robins and John Sillett
The years at Highfield Road
We are loyal supporters
And we come from Coventry.
Allez Allez Allez etc
(and repeat)

I don’t mean to be rude but fuck off.
We’ve got a good range of our own songs to sing and if we want to come up with something new, surely we can do better than copying Liverpool, who copied Napoli, who copied Marseille.
Just the thought of this makes me cringe- belongs in the same chapter of embarrassment as that ‘and that’s the way we like it, we like it, we like it’ that was copied off Crystal Palace.
N.B. The Liverpool version says ‘we took over Rome’ ....what a laughing stock, they cried for the authorities to inveteneve and protect them and transport them to and from the game - and set up emergency helpline out there in case of attacks. Some take over.
You can't plan a terrace chant. It could have the greatest lyrics ever but still may not catch on. They seem to just grow/evolve over time. Often simple and repetitive wins the day.
....come on lads....you know you want to....
squeak squeak squeak squeak squeaky squeaky squeak squeak
you forgot about 'Just cant get enough' also ripped right from Celtic. Just cant sing it, so cringeworthy. Don't get me started on people who sing shit on the villa for a League two game against Notts County, what the hell is that about??I don’t mean to be rude but fuck off.

I love how some Liverpool fans think Allez Allez Allez is there song. Atleti have been sining it for years.

No it doesnt. It says From Paris down to Turkey we've won the fucking lot. Been to a few games at Anfield and heard it.
Earsldon, to be fair most songs stem from some place or other – we didn't exactly write Twist n shout ourselves! Apparently the Allez chant comes from an 80s Italian song so it's not really about who wrote stuff, but yeah i'm with you, we do have a properly good set of songs these days.
Regardless of what we sing, can't believe we're back at Wembley. This time last year I flew home from Australia just for the cup final! Thought it was gonna be a once in a lifetime thing..
Yes I get that, there's always going to be the adaptations and there's only many songs in the world that you can turn into a football chant but I'm against deliberately ripping a song off. Especially a cringey one.
I'm a Coventry City fan, if I wanted to be a Liverpool fan I would buy an embarrasing banner: 'Skrtle is so hard he can get a Big Mac in Burger King' etc, some Karrimor trainers, pretend to be Irish and go to Anfield once every 5 years. We can do better than copying their songs.
Yeah, we could have used it for Coleman when he was manager and called it 'Chris the Useless Dragon.'I think a nice rendition of "Puff, The Magic Dragon" would go down well. Sang in harmony!
it's got potential
The land of Honiley be close by .Yeah, we could have used it for Coleman when he was manager and called it 'Chris the Useless Dragon.'
This is more shite than your first choice.
I'm sure you lot are drinking Tippex!
