Since when has it been

Post by Beradogs »

Acceptable to sing the same songs as fans of other clubs. I am particularly referring to the awful putting on a show but there are others and it’s not just us, even fierce rivals are singing the same songs. Am I just old.

Moaning at fans singing, the 70s was Orient clap clap clap, untill the 5th or 6th round of the cup. only other song uttered in 77-78 was Chidders Boney M Cover.

It's easy & catchy, Rockin all over the worlds hardly unique either by the club, yet loads love it. Apologies for thinking it was a moan.

Lack of imagination and wit from the young uns on the terraces, I guess?

Hearing two sets of fans chanting 'We've got super [insert managers name]' simultaneously is soul destroying.

Isn’t the Darren Pratley song unique. I have going to the O’s for years and our fans are more vocal now (specially away) than I can ever recall. The North standers in particular make a decent amount of noise.

I was thinking the other day how it’s funny that the chants have changed since ten years ago, nevermind the 70s. At the odd away day now I don’t know half the words.

The one that started mid 90s and is still used today. (First time I remember hearing it was the 4-4 away at Bolton). It goes 'Orient clap clap, Orient clap clap'.

Soul destroying and ‘Stand Up For The Orient’ was great when arthritis in both knees was not an issue.

The Orient clap clap song is a great song.

Interesting fact: it has it's origins in the formative years of the Orient Shipping company, and haw many of their employees returned from trips to the Far East with STIs.
