Talk:The Greasy Chip Butty Song

Untitled
Of course it's a gallon of maggots. You can't get your senses filled much more than a sniff at these squirmers with some dyed red to get the right colours. And when you put half a dozen in your mouth to get them wriggling a bit more, well say no more. Ian

I attended most home and away matches during the 1980's and I clearly remember the first time I heard this song. I remember thinking at the time that there were too many lines to remember and it wouldn't catch on. It was our first match of the season with a 3-1 win away to Stoke at the Victoria Ground. Someone might have sang the song at pre season friendlies that season but this was definately the first league match where the GCB song started LWeb 29 March 2007.

Speedy?
I've left a message at User talk:71.146.70.248 suggesting that speedy deletion is inappropriate for this article, since it has already survived an AfD (I had a moment of stupidity and thought s/he had PRODded the article twice - apologies). Humansdorpie 19:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Removed references and notability tags
There are references located on this page so I have removed theese tags. I feel this is notable for the fact that 20,000 Sheffield United fans sing it twice in every home game. Deevincentday (talk) 13:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Northantsblade, 25 May 2010
The adaption of the song to relate to Sheffield United was made by two well know supporters who frequented the 'Royal Oak' and the 'Noah's Ark' pubs in the suburb of 'Intake' in south east Sheffield during the 1980's. Adrian 'Aid' Starky and Dave 'Shred' Spencer were and still are loyal supporters of the club and it is well known locally that they 'penned' the lyrics to this distinctive anthem.

The reference to 'Magnet' is because both pubs were John Smith pubs and the dark Magnet bitter was covetted by locals as it was 'like rabbit gravy', meaning it was a good pint.

The MC at each home game plays the introduction briefly as the game is set to kick off, prompting the crowd to sing their hearts out to stir the players into combat mode. Good timing ensures that the last line is emphasised as the first ball is kicked for each half of the game.
