I've got a copy of an old Biscuitmen song at home in which the fans sing about the team being bright and gay.
Will upload it when I get a chance.

We're the left side, We're the left side, We're the left side of the stand.Ian Royal All about the right side of the Bank... "Left siders, oxf*rd oxf*rd oxf*rd, left siders, oxf*rd oxf*rd oxf*rd."
Left side > Right side = FACT!
Around pillar H was the place to be, ideally just in front of it so you had something to lean against when your back started to ache from all that standing up.

"Steve Stone, There's only one Steve Stone" sung to some confused opposition player who missed a sitter.

Can't believe no-one's mentioned, "You're so loud you sound like Aldershot."

The Cap svlad said:Nothing beats the good old "Come on you Royals" when a corner's being taken.
Really? I prefer a good rendition of "Come on Reading" being shouted/sung with some venomas opposed to "Come on you Royals" that makes us sound like a right bunch of woofters.
Agreed.
'Stand up for Steve Coppell' - not that old, but one for Boxing Day

Many times, although I'm not sure what that has to do with it. It was a chant used by Reading in the late 70s, early 80s. "You're so shit it's unbelievable" was used around then as well.

I went to an England game in the early 90s when this was sung at, I think, Norway supporters. LOLZ all round.
