We used to sing it a lot slower back then and would just repeat it for ages, as you say without the “County” bit at the end.
The first time I remember hearing Notts fans singing it was at St Andrews, Birmingham on a Tuesday night. I think this was not long after the song was ‘born’ at Shrewsbury....

It got sung at the next home game after Shrewsbury but only by a handful and I was standing directly in front of them, I remember thinking "What the hell is that?" but assumed it was something they'd heard opposition fans sing in a recent away game.
In terms of getting a response from the team, I still don't feel that any Notts chant or song has ever been as effective as Coun-ty cha cha cha (repeat) when it was sung on its own in the old stands. All home stands would join in, usually started by those standing at the front of the main stand, though often prompted by a chorus of "Main stand, give us a song" on County Road.
Going back to Charlton, it was so long ago now that Thatcher was still PM until the December of that season, but I'm still angry about it, we didn't travel in the snow on the advice of the police and the forecast gave no warning of it being heavy, so it was not our fault. Charlton however insisted that we should have traveled down the day before!
