A popular chant at Fratton Park. It is often used to herald the coffin of a Portsmouth FC fan entering the church or crematorium

Pompey is the nickname for the city of Portsmouth, I'm sure there's a good explanation why on line. The museum has a room devoted to old football club memorabilia.

Found a link for you!!

It's just wonderful how traditions such as this are born and then live on.
