who knows - might happen yet
I doubt it. I sense a lack of enthusiasm for change. |

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as our supporters are, and hey our away fans are terrific, I just feel that our repertoire is a bit limited and a bit outdated.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.
Good intentions sir, but when you have 3000 regulars who don't all sing, you aren't going to get more than 20 people to learn a new song in 6 days, let alone 10-12,000. You gotta keep it simple and familiar, or it's got to be so easy and catchy and sung with gusto by several hundred before others catch on and join in. Simple Familiar Loud Repetitive |
| Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same. |

It's been a long time since I did it at school, but it's a wistful song told from the point of view of a seamen who'd travelled the world over, seen all the continents, sailed every ocean, seen beautiful sunsets, and golden sands. But of all his trips the most memorable was across Der Nord See, to a fair town famous for fish, where the buildings reminded him of his dear hometown of Hamburg. And like home he found the people rough and ready, salt of the earth but welcoming. And just like Hamburg he met a woman on a street called Riby Square. And then it gets a bit hazy, I don't understand the idiom but I think it's something about spending the night "active" with her. Then he finds he's got crabs. |

Ha ha, brilliant. I wonder if he ever released it in English. |

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.
i think they sang it twice, but it did sound good. we were a lot louder. this got me thinking about an anthem we could adopt as our own. something catchy with a nautical/maritime theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k9BiDRHANgi've even heard it said it was played at a trawlermans funeral. then thought about rovers "IRENE" or stokes "DELILAH" and the link is girls names, so what about....Molly Malone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXKLkLcdtjI |
