    Oooh interesting question. I don't really have a favourite one as any non-Notts chant is hard to love, but I'd definitely say the loudest I can remember is Coventry singing 'Let's all sing together' during the playoff semi final at ML. I was sat in the Pavis and it was like a wall of noise.

    Yeah, that probably is the best of the lot and one (like Leeds' Marching on Together) that was designed to be sung on the terraces rather than just some random song that was picked up and run with.
    A lot of them don't sustain too well and there's passages where it always threatens to fall apart and die out, or they've changed the lyrics to a tune that was never meant to convey a sense of aggression or intimidation and it ends up like a jigsaw where you've forced pieces in to fit and the opposition isn't fooled, it just sounds awkward and childish, Fword with "Mull of Kintyre" being the perfect example of a car crash miss-match. A Scottish style folk tune about peace and tranquillity with silly sods in r*d then doing it all shouty about their clunky old 2nd tier standard ground.

    Can't think of any better than Cov, which is unfortunate because they've long been a club I don't like.

    Yeah, it does sound quite a lot like 'Marching on Together.' I'm not particularly keen on Coventry either after some of the antics after the first leg at their place, not to mention the awful decisions that went against us over the two legs, but their fans were incredible at Meadow Lane.
