ESO is right that the Eagles clap clap clap and Eeeegullsss are old hat now.

The Depeche Mode song is not original but to be honest apart from the likes of You'll Never Walk Alone many clubs both football and Rugby will lay claim to starting a particular chant.

Even like me if you don't know the words you can catch the chorus and try clapping to the beat just to generate some noise.

Does anyone know how to contact Gary Sinclair at the Lane - can we ask him to ditch Tom Hark in favour of I just can't get enough for try scores?

The support and atmosphere at Dewsbury was very good - not bad for a taxi full

I do want to raise a slight complaint about the treatment of the official, Are you Blunkett in Disguise.......how long has this particular referee had a beard However if I find out that Rocket locked his dog in his car without a window open on Sunday I'll be on to the RSPCA ASAP.

A couple of older Dewsbury fans spoke to me on the way out and thought we played very well, so what if home fans don't think we were special. All the 17 hit the standard and that's what team sports are about.

Those are the main reasons we picked that song, its different, a catchy classic that everyone remembers and the lyrics are simple.

Tom Hark at the lane is ok but the novelty of that has worn out as about 91 of the 92 football league teams now use it when scoring.

Couldn't make the game due to work (still not been to away game in Yorkshire..bad I know) but by all accounts sounded like a good game and our defence was on top.

Gutted I wasn't there as it sounds like the atmosphere was brilliant, Still I won £40 on the work sweepstakes for Stoke getting to the F.A cup final and will win £100 if they win Man Ctiy! Decided to put my own double on them winning and Eagles winning on SkyBet & won £53 too, Happy Days!

Good times Liam.

Thought it was gunna b close after the first half, we looked pretty equal, then we just stormed em, even tho the penalty count was in their favour, we held good. Wood, Finnegan and Maccy D played brilliant altho they all played well and Ryan Hepworth looks so much stronger. It was a great atmosphere and the lads were beamng when they came over after the game (particually liked Vinnie's reaction) I think it's optimistic to put us at the top by the end, Leigh I don't think, won't lose a game this season. Still u never know

He's ok as a loose forward. Strong runner and not afraid to put his head in where it hurts. He ain't a halfback though and never will be, to be fair he probably already knows that!
