Exeter City fans chant “Those Roman Walls” as a spirited nod to the city’s ancient Roman heritage and a playful jab at their local rivals, Plymouth Argyle. The lyrics—“Those Roman Walls (clap clap clap), They got knocked down (clap clap clap), We’ll build them up (clap clap clap), Keep Argyle out (clap clap clap)”—reference Exeter’s historic city walls, originally constructed around 200 AD during Roman times. While the walls were never intended to keep out football fans, the chant humorously suggests rebuilding them to prevent Argyle supporters from entering the city, highlighting the intense rivalry between the two clubs. This chant exemplifies how football fans often draw upon local history and culture to create unique expressions of team pride and identity.
