The Burrow Songbook In The Burrow, we sing. Many fans ha ve questioned why, when it is su ch a foreign concept in this country. Yet in many stadiums around the world, singing embraces all aspects of football fandom. It celebrates the triumphs, rally’s support behind the team, enhances the ground ’s atmosphere, and intimidates the opposition through the creation of home ground advantage. Here we have collated as many of The Burrow songs as could be remembered. You may find it helpful to look up www.youtube.com to understand the tune. We look forward to standing and singing with you in 2011.
