A poster on another board has suggested we adopt the Icelandic chant but using "Hoops" as the shout. Anyone, like me, think this could work well?

Yes but someone ought to warn the players as it will scare the shit out of them the first time it happens with us being so close the to pitch

It may also scare the opposition, giving us an unfair advantage. That's just not cricket.

Seriously, how do they know when do shout in unison. We'll need a kind of choir conductor.

"Thank you for supporting Queens Park Rangers Steep Staircase"... and I thought I'd signed up for a rollercoaster.

Rumour has it they learned the chant from Motherwell supporters; who have a drum beat as a cue:


100% of people who drink water will die.

it's not rumour. One of their teams apparently played motherwell in the Europa league and they adopted it for their own national team.

Watched that vid yesterday SJ and boy they make some noise do those motherwell fans.

I like it. Better than screaming 'Cuuuuunt!' at various players.

I'm sure we used to do a similar thing 20 years or so ago. Starting slowly repeating HOOPS and then gradually speeding up.

Anybody else remember that or am I dreaming?

I think our own version could be very menacing, as our crowd in unison can get very nasty towards the opposition.
Trouble is we got to many down the loft now that are content to sit on their own backside in silence the whole game.
There's also the problem of people viewing this as acting like 'ultras' and we got a few with egos that see that type of thing as beneath them.
I'd love something like this to take off though. A slow build of Hoops, like a war chant, that gradually gets faster. Would scare the shite out of opposition players and fans - they've had it far too easy for a few years now.

You can bet your bottom dollar, if we've thought about doing this, then so have many others.

Personally, I'm not sure we've really seen out the ditty questioning Jose Mourinho's sexuality or, the one that really nails the whole debate, about Large Daniel's suitability as our centre half of choice over Sol Campbell. Honourable mention to the prudent piece of trading that brought Chris Kiwomya to the Rs for neesh as well!

The team we follow here, Western Sydney Wanderers, have been using this chant for a while. Their chant is "West!".

Its pretty impressive, especially in the Sydney derby games where there are big crowds supporting both teams. They have a drummer that leads it and that's how everyone knows when to clap.

I loved the Iceland chant. I'm voting give it a go.

I was gutted when we stopped singing "shittu's gonna get you," and changed it to "chiminy chiminy chim chim cheroo..." ffs.
