Akpa akpro - OH OH OH HE'S MAGIC! YOU KNOWWW, JEAN LOUIS AKPA-AKPRO! Any more ideas for the other new players would be interesting to read . Nothing lifts the players more than hearing their names chanted .

To the tune of fernando torres, liverpool's number 9:
He left us for swindon in 2012, collins He then left them for hibernian, collins, collins Now he's back to score again And fire the town back up the leagues Jaames Collins, Shrewsbury's number 9
(Providing he's number 9)

Most inconsiderate of Mickey to sign strikers with difficult names to make rhymes for. Suppose there's always Wilkie! Wilkie! Wilkie! for Collins.

"Allez allez! Allez allez! Allez allez allez allez! Allez allez! Allez allez! Allez allez Akpa Akpro!" The lyrics could be a touch difficult to remember though?

That Malky Mackay Riot song could morph into something like this, riot is too negative a word,
"When promotion is won, Mickey Mellon, we really hope you understand When promotion is won, Mickey Mellon, you're going to have a mental on your hands"
and that could lead into "let's all have a mental" and be fun when we're winning at any stage of the season

Rule 1: No copycat s**te that's been heard somewhere else.It's unimaginative and cringeworthy. Rule 2: This Towns a ****hole I wanna go home is neither original or amusing and makes you sound like a bunch of Chav's. Rule 3: Ultra style wooahhing might sound cool to 14 year old Nigel's at Palace but to copy it is saddest thing you could do.Unless you can get too Boca Juniors or Galatasary levels then you look about as intimidating as a Fluffy Kitten. Rule 5.Originality is the key if it's good it will spread if it's crap it will stay with our Nigel's with the rest too embarrassed to join in.

Agree with all your 'rules' The challenge as ever is how to get new original songs out there and then sung by enough people to get them started and to ultimately rise above embarrassingly low levels. There have been some really great ideas posted on here over the years (amongst a lot of dross) but that is as far as they have gone. The salopian songbook thread being one (even if I do say so myself!) The lack of a supporters bar doesn't help, nor does the current location of the 'singing area' (that has probably been debated to death) as we need a way of trying songs out and improving them until they work really well and then it spreading around the ground.

Club's traditionally always came up with their own whats wrong with reviving a few?The best songs are usually a Club's own anthem. Do we need a supporters Bar?There are plenty of Pub's in Town that could do with a boost. Though the problem with arranging meetings and People don't get as p**sed in them and their not spontaneous and spontaneous songs tend to be better the away coaches are a good place to start.

As long as they are not racist, homophobic or otherwise unduly insensitive I'm not too bothered. The only thing that I have been embarrassed about is the type of small-minded chants that I have heard at the likes of Bradford away in recent years.

How very presumptuous of you! But sadly no I'm not a 'Chav' and most certainly don't have Jeremy Kyle on TV mate as working 12 hour days on our farm and playing football 3 times a week doesn't allow it sorry. But yes your rite it does say a lot about myself, a hardworking person who loves to go watch the football club I love (with any sort of atmosphere) when I have no fixture myself. In jeans, smart footwear and a nice top.... Not trackies, Fred Perry and Burbery caps. Sorry to disappoint.

Okay so this is the SCS one me and sgd came up with 3 years ago:
Once a jolly footballer sat beside the billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree And he sang as he sat and waited by for his billy to boil Why don't the Shrewsbury fans sing about me?
Shane Cansdell Sherriff,Shane Cansdell Sherriff We couldn't fit your name in a song you see So now we sing this because, you are our favourite bloody Aus He's Shane Cansdell-Sherriff of Shrewsbury.
Very easy to substitute in Wesolowski.
