   Whilst the comments may have merit from a narrow intellectual and historical perspective, the study and conclusions do not recognise the meaning and purpose of Football Club Song’s and Brentford’s in particular.
   The first indication of intellectual inaccuracies of the review is the reference to ‘… war like songs…’ In fact the songs are pure and unadulterated tribalism, which when roused by poor refereeing decisions or a lucky goal to the opposition can come very close to cannibalism.
   In order to effect full meaning to a song it is not necessary to be literally or historically correct, in fact quite the opposite. Just so long as the fans of the club singing the song understand the message and purpose, then anything and everything is acceptable.
   Finally, I think you should give credit to the high level of accuracy that is included in every song considering those rowdy souls writing the song would have been absolutely legless at the time and in a hurry to complete the words before closing time.

   Down in the town of Northampton is actually correct. Regardless of geographical location, you always travel up to a capital and down from a capital. As Brentford is located in London, you would travel down to Northampton. I think you’ll find.
