That we are to be promoted is, thankfully, no longer in doubt. All that remains is to decide the chant with which we choose to serenade our heroes as the formalities are concluded. Five contenders come immediately to mind. There may be others and feel free to contribute.
1.
"The Rams are going up!
The Rams are going up!
And now you're gonna believe us
And now you're gonna believe us
And now you're gonna believe us
The Rams are going up!"
A timeless classic which never goes out of fashion and which no doubt Spart sang in his early years as a pensioner in 1969.
2.
"Na na na na na na na na na na
Rams are going up, going up, Rams are going up!"
To the tune of the KC and the Sunshine Band's classic hit. Ironically, Harry Wayne Casey, "KC" himself, never supported a promotion-winning team.
3.
"The Rams are going up
The Rams are going up
Ee aye addio
The Rams are going up!"
Another olde classic. Based on the traditional song "The farmer's in his den", fact fans.
4.
"Going up, going up, going up.
Going up, going up, going up
Going up, going up, going up
Going u-up, going up!"
Popular with those who struggle to remember the more complex terrace songs (you know who you are)
5.
"Rams are going up, ole ole
Rams are going up, ole ole
Rams are going up
Rams are going up
Rams are going up, ole ole"
An instant smash. Catchy and multi-lingual.
I plan to give all of these a decent airing on Saturday but which is the best? Are there others worthy of consideration?

Do we not need 4 points to be certain? We have a much better GD but not sorted yet. Probably need Spart to work this out..........If I am wrong, and it is probably the strict Presbyterian in me, but do continue with the premature celebrations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Only if the others win their games. If they drop any points on Saturday and we win, Vidal and Scouse will be leading the conga!

Scouse tends to leave a few minutes early so he will miss it.

Well, I hope our celebrations aren't too premature...but I must admit to feeling a degree of optimism....
So IF we do make it I think the song "F EFL...F EFL" should be included in there somewhere because they were particularly vindictive towards us weren't they....
On a different note i don't know how many of you watch YouTube but a channel came up the other day. It was from a guy supporting a Championship club...i cant remember which. He had contacted all the other Championship YouTube posters and asked them who they wanted promoting. Not one of them said DCFC....in fact some of them were quite "anti Derby".... are we Millwall in disguise??

Rams TV is no use for Saturday 3 p.m. KO's if you live in the UK.
