It's been around since last season against Reading apparently, I've heard it at two away game, and it does make a good atmosphere IMO.

acts as a good buffer for other songs and I think it will encourage more fans to get behined the team vocally.

Second half chant from you fans  was awesome . Amazing atmosphere even if there were a lot of empty seats. Noise came from all parts of the stadium. We are a bit quiet at home and have lots to learn. I don't know if you noticed but a lot of us applauded your support. .


Seems to have been noticed by the opposing supporters today,

Food For Thought - UB40

Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.

Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician's argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.

Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of Mary is born again today.

Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.


----------------------------------------

Now are people telling me blues fans sing these lyrics or have they been changed to a football song

And it was great, got the crowd going and nearly reminded me of the night we THRASHED the tractor boys to reach the league cup final.

Only there were more of us there then :P

have to laugh really, you see really good songs on these boards that people go to the trouble of making up but the thing that catches on is something that has nothing to do with football!

Must be because the 'words' are so easy to learn :)

Created a good buzz tho
