Is it the end of this chant?. Has it been thrown away in the dusty bin?.
To me alongside the club anthem this has always been our best chant. Whenever we needed a goal and had a free-kick in a dangerous position or a corner the cry would be heard. I rarely hear it these days.

Your going home in a Red Cross ambulance
I was born under the Meadow End
You're not singing anymore

Which admittedly is long gone |

‘Johnny Newman’s right side army!’
(Riposte)
‘Johnny Newman’s left side army!’
(Riposte) for about 20 minutes in one game, can’t remember who we were playing, but it was exhilarating! And we scored half way through it, and kept it going, the players were really lifted by it.
Carrotcruncher and Leicesterbull will remember…

Don’t remember the exact chant(s) but the constant noise made by us at Leyton Orient in that penultimate game of THAT season lives long in the memory (as does the greasy smell on my hands of that pre match kebab at the Orient Kebab shop).

Graham Turner's Barmy Army. Incredible noise from our lot that day. Didn't Agana or the flying postman hit the bar late on? Seem to remember their second being a mile offside. How times have changed eh. |

It will always be “come on you whites” for me … unless we play in different colours 😁

How times have changed eh. That's a crap chant, non of it rhymes. It's obviously Free Verse. Back in the day, it would have been recited by elderly, trilby wearing, pipe smoking gentlemen. They would point the mouth end of the pipe towards you when emphasising an alliteration. |

Ooh Gareth stoker.
Bit of a simplistic chant but used to warm the meadow end up a bit.
Very adaptable could be used for any player that did not fit in with a song of the day.
Would fit for any player who’s not expected to stay long. Loan or not good enough.

Truth be told Eggy, you, me and a good few others on here are probably older now than the 'elderly, trilby wearing, pipe smoking gentlemen' were, back in the day. |

When did HUFC/HFC become known as The Bulls?

I don't know.
It is wholly inappropriate.
A bull is a symbol of coercive masculinity.
Like this bloke Wynne Evans on Strictly Come Dancing.
Time for Starmer to intervene.
Lillywhites.

You get the occasional "Come on You Whites" still accompanied by a bit of "You Whites" echo.
That though has been replaced by "Come on Hereford" as the momentum battle cry hasn't it?

Pretty sure that's not the case. I never heard them referred to as the Bulls back in the fifties/early sixties.
