Stand Up (And Be Counted)
¶ 1

I’m of a post Hillsborough generation
Where death has taught us what matters
And the illusion of a perfect sporting world
Has been well and truly shattered
So for the most part, I know nothing of a
Footballing world where the fans can stand
It’s mostly ’cause I’m a bit too young
But on the other hand
I’ve been to non-league football
Back in the days of Hayes FC
When that was the only ticket
Even vaguely affordable for me
And the atmosphere on that tiny patch
Was undeniably gold
It came close to rivalling my beloved Den
If all truth be told
Maybe that’s stretching it
So I’ll phrase those words again
Imagine how electric the air would be
If you could stand up in The Den!
Perhaps it’ll always be a mystery to me
And I’m destined not to know
But in our safe 21st Century landscape
It’s gotta be worth a go
So let’s jump up and be counted
And show we deserve the stands
But it’ll probably never happen
Unfortunately, it’s not in our hands.
