The atmosphere
The atmosphere in stadiums around Cornwall is something special. There's laughter, old chants and cheers between people who might argue on the forum but still give each other a friendly nod in the pub after the game. In the stands, traditional and new songs are sung as old stories and inside jokes are quickly shared - both on site and online. The same energy is felt in the forum, where today's match memes quickly take off, classic threads are brought to life, and new and old users meet in discussions that keep community and traditions close to heart.
Club anthems and chants
A real classic from the Cornish stands:
"Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever happens, happens,
We are going to Wembley,
Que Sera, Sera."
A common refrain among fans:
"Oh Cornwall, We Love You!"
(Fans often adapt classic English chants to their local matches.)
