Just watching the film and laughed to myself when their intro tune came on as they were on stage. Had to explain to my daughter that the Cowshed used to sing the tune as the police walked round the edge of the pitch and walked past them. Loved it.

I remember the fans singing that tune when i was a kid in the Cowshed, was only talking on Saturday about how match days seemed better year's a go or was it because we were younger.

Yes but remember we also used to sing "Harry Roberts is our friend, he kills coppers" - not quite the age of innocent banter.

I thought this was going to be a new thread about the Cowley brothers when I saw it…

Old MacDonald had a farm, eeh ey eeh ey ho, and on his farm he had some pigs...those old enough will remember the last bit. Cowshed humour at it’s finest.

One of my favourites used to be...
Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a pig, pig, pig, pig A pig is an animal with a tit on it's head
I can't remember what came next

Town are still the only team I've ever heard singing this. Obviously not many other teams can sing "Those were the days" and we all know why, but what is the relevance of Molly Malone. Used to love belting that out, but could never understand why. And neither my uncles or Granddad could tell me why either.

I might be slightly wrong on some of the lyrics…
My brothers in borstal, my sisters got pox. My mothers a hoor in Hartlepool docks. My uncles a pervert, my auntie is mad. And Jack the Rippers my dad.

Yeah, I know the song and I'd heard it before hearing it on the terraces at Leeds Road, but just wondered if there was any particular relevance to Huddersfield?

When Johnny comes marching home.
Now my memory may be playing tricks.
Leeds away 80s. The police marched us to the ground and as we walked through an underpass we started humming to the above tune. It sounded fantastic.
Anyone else there?

It sounded fantastic. Anyone else there? That was a long walk. We kept getting picked off by groups of Leeds and there was an almighty set to just shy of the train station. A big bloke was screaming ‘fucking hit anything that moves!’ The relief when we got to the station!!!

That can't have been the cup match in 82 . 8,000 town fans there that night , and half of those must have gone on the train.. Still one of my best away games that one..

The return match at Leeds Road was marred by trouble. Leeds fans stopped the train at Deighton and there ensued 3 or 4 hours of mayhem. They came in the Terrace in numbers but got properly battered. They then tried to dismantle the away end. It was feral stuff that day. The match at Elland Road was Winter time I’m sure and the darkness on the walk back to the station added to the threatening atmosphere. I got hit on the head by a bolt in the ground and then had to endure been stood behind that massive gate with their thugs lobbing everything but the kitchen sink over at us. You had to keep eyes up at incoming missiles; it was like fucking Agincourt.
