Okay, I know this isn't popular BUT for me and a few other fans I've spoken to it sums up what being a Giants fan is all about. Basically every now and then our hopes get raised and we really start to believe, then they come crashing down around us but regardless we stay loyal and proud and keep believin that we will come out on top in the end.
I'M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES
PRETTY BUBBLES IN THE AIR
THEY FLY SO HIGH, NEARLY REACH THE SKY
THEN LIKE MY DREAMS THEY FADE AND DIE
FORTUNE'S ALWAYS HIDING
I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE
I'M FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES

By the way this is open to suggestions, I'm happy to sing pretty much anything if it let's the players know we are there and supporting them all the way. So it's not just some conspiracy to get Giants fans singing a West Ham song, I just know how I feel when Hull sing old faithful or Leeds sing marching on together...whether you like the words or not it does get you and you feel the hairs on your neck stand up. Imagine what a lif it could be to the players.

I personally like Wise men say...and it seems to be catching on a bit more now. I will however join in any songs or chants (except ones with bad language) so the more the merrier.

This is like the 3rd or 4th time you've tried to push a West Ham song. I know you're a WH fan and all power to you for it an all that but you being a WH fan is no justification for us to adopt it and I'm personally not in favour.

Fair enough Danril, like I said I'm not too fussed what we can all agree on as long as it's something that can become a really distinctive anthem for us and something we are known for and that the players can appreciate.

Outstanding song for us. When we sing that, people who don't normally sing at all join in chanting 'fartown' afterwards. Defo our #1.
I believe Hudds Town sing it as well. Not a Town fan by any stretch but if they do, all well and good. A Huddersfield favourite throughout.  |

Yes Town fans do sing it too. My son even gave them a rendition of it followed by Fartown at the end up at Newcastle, and even got a right applause for it!!

About time all this Fartown was dropped.
It was a stadium ten years ago.
Wigan fans don't go around shouting "come on central Park."
The last 30 years at Fartown were crap. Time to move on

You don't understand, do you. If you did, you wouldn't have posted that.
Fartown was not just a stadium. Fartown was, and still is, a place.

Nowt, as long as you keep supporting them you can call them what you like. Fartown has grown on me now and I also use it, but I would say I use Giants equally. |

Just don't seem very manly to be singing it at a rugby match IMO. It's a bit..you know...a bit sap. |
