I heard the song "take me home country road" and had a vague recollection of the song being sung by the North stand, obviously with words changed to "portman road"
I am now not sure if I really did here this or my brain just made the connection because it scans?
Was this ever sung? Or maybe I'm remembering it being sung by a different football clubs fan base?

Not 100% certain but think it was when John Walters resigned for us and he posted the tune online prior to his arrival? Sure it got played at ground and crowd sung along...?

Yes , I think you're right. My memory is of Walters return.
Anyway think it would sound awesome, if the northland belted it out

But like you it hasn’t been taken on by the p Rd north stand

Saw this thread yesterday and the song has been stuck in my head ever since. What about…
Country Roads, Take me home To Portman Road The place where I belong Wes will skin yer, he’s no Scummer Country Roads, Take me home
I will confess finding something to scan with Mountain Mama proved a little tricky. Alternatives were…
Wes will skin yer, Ed’s our strummer
Or
Wes will skin yer, Morsy chin yer
Or in honour of Wes’ mum on Twitter…
Wes will skin yer, we like his mama
Feel free to ridicule, I’ll get me coat…
You don't sing well, you don't syllable well, but you could be a good parody writer, keep trying (A little Pele/Escape to Victory tribute parody there!)

I wouldn't try and get player references in there. Yours doesn't scan because the song is out of order and the syllables are incorrect
Original: Country roads, 3 take me home, 3 to the place, 3 I belong, 3 West Virginia, 4 mountain mamma, 4 take me home, 3 country roads. 3
Yours: Country Roads, 3 Take me home, 3 To Portman Road, 4 The place, 2 where I belong, 4 Wes will skin yer, 4 he’s no Scummer, 4 Country Roads, 3 Take me home, 3
Alternative 1: Country roads, 3 take me home, 3 to the place, 3 I belong, 3 Ipswich Towen, 4 At Portman Road, 4 take me home, 3 country roads. 3
Alternative 2 (Thinking of the road, not the stadium here): Portman Road, 3 take me home, 3 to the place, 3 I belong, 3 Ipswich Towen, 4 East of England, 4 take me home, 3 Portman Road. 3
If you want bluey to do all the work (Joke): Suffolk Punch, 3 take me home, 3 to the place, 3 I belong, 3 Ipswich Towen, 4 East of England, 4 take me home, 3 Suffolk Punch. 3
Edit: Just put it on Spotify, and Alternative 2 scans most naturally.

You’re quite right, I tapped it out in a hurry. Only went with Wes as he fit a rhyme for West Virginia and I was trying to stick close to the original lyric.
Should have been…
Country Roads Take Me Home Portman Road I belong Wes will skin ya he’s no Scummer Take me home Country Roads
