Synopsis

*** THE CULT CLASSIC NOW IN PAPERBACK & EBOOK***

‘A true treasure trove of wit, wisdom and wisecracks!’ LATE TACKLE MAGAZINE

Shit Ground No Fans is an updated collection of 500 hilarious British football chants as sung by fans up and down the country week in, week out, a raucous and anarchic hymn book of funny and irreverent wit. Fifteen years after the second edition, it's back, ruder and funnier!

When Britain gave football to the world, she also gave it a distinctive terrace culture, rich in humour, cruel in mockery and one-upmanship, foul in language. Football chants show British popular culture in raw creative mode, the fans driven by a passion for their team and a fear and loathing of their rivals, the songs tearing into every weakness of their opponents, every failing of the crappy town where it is the misfortune of their rivals to live.

Over the years, very little has escaped the acerbic, spontaneous wit of the British football fan. No player ever wants to hear his name derided in song by opposition fans; no supporters like to hear their city or town mocked and scorned for its backwardness and deprivation or to be told their wife is probably a sheep and their mother plies the oldest trade in history.

This updated third edition of the highly popular original versions of Shit Ground No Fans (2004, 2010) is the first in paperback and includes some of the best new chants, plus all the old classics, over 500 in total, reworked by each club’s fans, sung around the country all season long.

This is a book for all football fans. In a way, it is also a book by football fans. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the authentic sound of the terraces...
