Staying down forever, is what the Bastards said, In 1987, they thought our club was dead,
We won the league at Ewood, now everywhere we go, We'll sing this song forever, to always let them know..
Allez allez allez...

Went something like..
"Staying down forever, that's what the b*stards said..
In 1987, they said our club was dead..
We won the league at Ewood, everywhere we go....
we'll sing this song forever, to let the b*astards know..
Not usually a fan of Blackburn hate songs over songs about BFC and our players but thought it was brilliant hearing that sung today.
It's a football song not a history lecture.Little_britton wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 8:39 pmHave the first 2 lines been swapped ? Daft as 1987 was before the plane?
It also scans better the way LB is suggesting, though that probably doesn't matter too much to the 120bpm massive, who's sole job appears to be get to the end of the song.

Let’s stick to Mind the Gap
It certainly did - it doesn’t matter how enthusiastically it is sung - it’s still a dirge
Works so much better to ‘my old man’s a dustman’!gawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 3:18 pmDrop the Allez ending and sing it to the tune of 'My old man's a dustman'.
I will, as they say, get me coat.
