NOTTINGHAM FOREST are back in the Premier League.
And with that you'll hear a raucous singalong of a classic before kick-off at the City Ground.
Why do Nottingham Forest fans sing Mull of Kintyre?
Nottingham Forest first played the Paul McCartney and Wings hit at the City Ground before their triumphant win over Yeovil Town in 2008 which saw an inspired Forest seal promotion back into the Championship.
And it has been used ever since at the ground, being played before kick-off and also sung by the Forest faithful during matches.
Like Forest, Charlton Athletic also have their own version of the song but about the Thames.

What are the lyrics to the Forest version?
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
Far have I travelled and much have I seen
Goodison, Anfield are places I've been
Maine Road, Old Trafford still echo to the sound
Of the boys in the red from the City Ground
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
Passing the leather like Clougie's great men
Please take us back to the days I knew then
Games when we sang in the Nottingham choir
When we thrashed the sheep from Derbyshire
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
Smiles in the sunshine, Football like champagne
Still take me back to where my memories remain
Flickering embers growing higher and higher
And a new squad of players for us to inspire
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
City Ground
Oh mist rolling in from the Trent
My desire is always to be here
Oh City Ground
