I'm not so sure to be honest, Mariners sounds like we're all having a bit of a whinge.
have you ever seen a film called The Warriors? I've a friend who whenever I talk about gtfc starts chanting Mariners in the "warriors, come out to play" way. Funny but quite annoying https://youtu.be/aRM2YcGpmxg?t=73 |

Okay well when I made the original post I thought it would be a little too much to ask for. As soon as I clicked on the post button I thought "I bet this will end up creating a big debate and other suggestions other than just a positive agreement"....
Sorry for any any differences in opinion that this might have caused guys and gals. My intentions were only good intentions. I saw this Wembley final as a real opportunity not to be missed for the Mariners fans to adopt a new anthem, arrive at the stadium on the same page and all prepared and to produce a terrific noise to get behind the team with. I guess I am just desperate for us to create a wall of sound and genuinely feel that if you can pin your club name to a specific anthem, it is something that nurtures a spirit of togetherness between the fans and the crowd and spurs the team on. If the team arrive well prepared with tactics at the ready, then what is wrong with us being the same as fans and supporters.
There are many clubs that have adopted anthems and to hear their fans in full voice behind their teams is really awesome. Believe me, when many thousands of Rovers fans sing "Irene" three or four times at the weekend we will be awe of the sound coming towards us and it will drive their players on. I just wanted us to have something special in our armory.
I don't think it would matter to any great extent what we chose as long as it was a powerful sounding song worthy of being an anthem and that we all agree on it. As terrific as our supporters are, and hey our away fans are terrific, I just feel that our repertoire is a bit limited and a bit outdated. Chants like FISH, Mariners, SWWF , GTFC PH Black n White Army and I long to be GTFC etc.are okay as they go, and of course it is good to have a few in the collection. But I just felt we needed a big un to throw out.
When you listen to the big clubs and their amazing anthems I think it is terrific. It's what you come to associate the clubs with as well as their nicknames. For instance when you think of Liverpool you think of You'll Never Walk Alone or Fields of Anfield Road. And yes I know they have massive support, but our lot sound smashing too when in voice.
Thank you anyway for you view everyone and enjoy your day at Wembley. I hope we are all celebrating together come Sunday tea time.

Just one final comment though. When you do hear "IRENE" coming our way from 30+ thousand Rovers fans, just spare a little thought about this conversation as we reply with any one of our own less powerful. LOL.
