Re: Blackpool Fans
Is it because it's wrong to assume what it's full of nowadays ?

I cringe every time I hear that song. Only gives credence to those who spout we are backward and a club full of Neanderthals.
Should be confined to the bin.

It's a bit sad when you see older blokes singing it with their young kids in tow, but it's up to them if they want to look like chumps.

Don't mind it myself, especially when the young kids sing it,but don't know what they are singing about.What are the acceptable chants these days?

Re: Blackpool Fans
Terrible chant.
Need more uplifting chants on the terraces not sung at 100mph and actually need those in the Jimmy Mc/Bob Lord to try and make some noise

What happens to fans who do continue to sing it? Ejected? Banned? Bank account frozen? That's where we are heading, drip by drip. The weaponisation of football continues unabated.

Re: Blackpool Fans
Do people genuinely think that other fans care that we (and a multitude of other clubs by the way) sing this song?

I would have thought the cringeworthy song we sing about Rovers is more offensive. Implying the males are all illegitimate?

Re: Blackpool Fans
Not the first time this has been debated on here. An outdated chant.
Wouldn't take much to change it to 'it's full of pies, bene and Clarets' or something similar.

Re: Blackpool Fans
Local songs, traditions etc don’t fit well in the corporate world of sanitised football . Spurs are constantly reminding their large Jewish fan base to stop referring to themselves as yids.
Always makes me laugh how corporate football loves smoke bombs swirling in the air in their “ passion “ montages , and maybe even a shot of police horses ! Yet vigorously enforce bans on bringing smoke bombs ( or horses) into stadia .

Re: Blackpool Fans
I think it's getting to the stage where we should just sit quietly for 90 minutes to make sure none of today's woke brigade are offended.
Re: Blackpool Fans
Don't worry we will not be going down the Blackpool route.
Alan loves the atmosphere the CFS create, and sees it as a plus towards pushing the team on and helping them perform.
So for those that slate the CFS, singers or atmosphere, your chairman, manager and players appreciate them, they add something that is valued and appreciated by the people that matter.

IF ( and I'm not saying you are ) every person stopped doing things that could or does offend a person, we may aswell all sit in a darkened room on our own.
Bad Manners and lack or respect offend me, but I've learnt to just deal with it as more people than not walk about these days without them.

Proper cringey chant but it shouldn't come to down the authorities banning it.

Re: Blackpool Fans
I hate that song. Why we began singing that in the late 80’s/early 90’s I’ll never know.
We used to sing “Oh when the Clarets go marching in”, and it can be clearly heard on the Orient videos out there, so we hadn’t changed it by 1987 anyway.
Please go back to that version. TF&C is cringey.

Re: Blackpool Fans
It's not the songs, it's the content that is being discussed. Why not put some energy and passion into some new lyrics with more acceptable 'humour '.
MACCA as leader of the CFS you could become immortalised here if you were prepared to accept the challenge.

Re: Blackpool Fans
I get what you're saying but that song is clearly outdated and unnecessarily offensive. We have many other chants that are far more effective and inspiring than that one.MACCA wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 11:33 amHe's a clever man, he will know any songs won't be aimed at nor demeaning his wife or daughter, just as he won't when he hears his employees the manager, staff and players swear or say things whilst on the training field or pitch.

The version I remember (growing up) went something like this:
"Oh Ralphie Coates is wonderful(x2)
Full of hell, full of go, full of vigour.
Oh Ralphie Coates is wonderful."
I think they were the words.No doubt someone will correct me. There were definitely no t****s or F******,and no need for them.

Re: Blackpool Fans
T1ts fanny and clarets is a bit of fun and no doubt the 15-23 yrs olds live bellowing it out . It’s completely harmless and hardly sang to demean anyone . Is it’s cringeworthy? Yes it is a bit , but anymore cringe than the CFS singing “ 10 in a row “ ( albeit briefly till City scored again ) ? You’re playing the best team in the world and your singing about a run of games to win the Championship bauble ?
Re: Blackpool Fans
Love how a link is created between ‘potentially’ being asked not to sing what is a bit of a **** song with crap lyrics, and there being no signing at all.
Re: Blackpool Fans
Imagine being offended by a football chant. Same blokes probably invite their partners bit on the side round for a bit tea and a chat

Re: Blackpool Fans
We sang YNWA at Wembley in 88 too, and also way back in the early 1970’s as well, the same as about two dozen other clubs who had it as part of their repertoire. It wasn’t offensive to anybody though, or distasteful when younger fans are in earshot.Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 12:14 pmThey also sung 'You'll never walk alone' on that video.

Re: Blackpool Fans
I think by cringeworthy people mean distasteful really, in that they don’t want their kids hearing it or repeating it. And those older than maybe 25-30 don’t really join in with it all that much. Perhaps different words would get more people joining in?AlargeClaret wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 12:31 pmT1ts fanny and clarets is a bit of fun and no doubt the 15-23 yrs olds live bellowing it out .
