Terrace Chants

Post by The Tomahawk Kid » Fri Oct 07, 2016 2:12 pm

It was nice to hear the resurrection of:
'We all live at the back of Holker Street' - sang to the tune of The Beatles 'Yellow Submarine'
and: 'Zigger Zagger, Zigger Zagger'... at the away game against FGR.

Took me completely by surprise and brought a smile to my face.
I remember singing them back in the day stood on The Holker End but haven't heard them for decades!
So nice to hear the younger element still carrying the torch. Didn't think they'd have even heard of those two! :D
When we set sail across the seven seas,
There was Captain Dan and Billy Bones and me...
and the Tomahawk Kid

was good hearing the Baarrrooooooww chant too echoing round the ground after the goal on Tuesday!

Sends shivers down my back when the ground erupts a little. Love it when there is a bit of atmosphere, kinda miss the ultras too

Got a bit of "Zigger" at the Tranmere away game and also the revival of "I want to be a Barrow Ranger..."

Ah yes, Tomahawk, those were the days my friend (another popular Holker End Choir song! :) ) when singing rather than chanting was the norm. I don't know what the Holker End terrace capacity was in the 60s, but it would be a fair sized proportion of the 5 - 6,000 crowds at that time, and of course many fans changed ends to be behind whichever goal Barrow were attacking. The noise from the crowd packed under the roof was terrific; oh to be able to hear the likes of that again.

All the old favourites, 'we all live at the back of Holker Street', 'Daisy daisy'' 'I hear the sound of distant bums', 'Jeramy the sugarpuff bear','Defend,defend,defend the Holker End', 'From the back of Holker Street', those were the days my friend.

It was good to hear those chants and let's hear some more this afternoon. Sometimes you hear the away fans more than ours so let's keep this up.

They get sung at pretty much every away game.

Do they mate? Wouldn't know - don't go away every week.

Be nice to hear you Whipper Snappers singing at home too. It's been a bit quiet this season...
Get a few 'Sherberts' down your necks - usually does the trick! :D

Thought the atmosphere today was really good

But the atmosphere at away games from the Barrow fans is brilliant

Years ago maybe 1992-1993 I worked in bury and managed to get a couple of my work mates to come to watch Barrow at horwich RMI - the atmosphere is brilliant I told them - it was one of the flattest games ever despite winning

It was a bit better but nothing like back when we had Ultras.

Ultras were good, also helped we were having a lot of success at the time too, Holker st for me was always a lot better on a Tuesday for big games, always are always decent.
