Apologies for duplicating this comment, but I didn't think it would get noticed lost in another thread and I really would like your opinions on it.

It's a shame really that as a club we don't have an anthem that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up (Fentyism). I suppose Sing When We're Fishing is as close as it gets to us. Mariners, Mariners, Mariners is okay I suppose, but even that can sound a bit drab.

Perhaps it is time that as a club we adopted a new anthem to carry us forward from this point onward. One that we become renowned by for years to come and one that really sounds awesome when sang by a crowd.

Given that we are the Mariners, then it really ought to have a maritime/nautical theme too it. How about this one? Opinions please?

Do you think those guys that do so well in getting the singing going could get themselves together and get this ringing out around Wembley? Are we up getting something like this organised by the weekend do you think?

This clip was even at Wembley. Suggest that you play the full clip to appreciate the atmosphere that this song creates, especially when the whole of Wembley sing it at the end of the clip.

Here it is again with a different crowd/audience

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpbuqh12oj4

Again get the bit where the crowd are singing this. Can just imagine a sea of Mariners (no pun intended), arms in the air, swaying and singing this.

So do you think we can get this going for Wembley and show those Rovers that we can better their Goodnight Irene?

Mariners? Sailing? It's obvious isn't it. A cracking anthem for the Mighty Mariners to reflect our heritage.

Mariners is rousing and sounds ruddy wonderful when chanted in unison. Wash your mouth out.

Mariners can sound drab if there's not real vigour behind it or it's sung too quickly. Paul Hurst's Black & White army fizzles out these days because it is sung too quickly. A few years ago we were singing that for most of the second half against Lincoln and it sounded ace.

On Sunday we're going to have to listen to "goodnight Irene" from the Rovers lot. Why they chose that particular song I have no idea.

For me if we were to have an anthem, I  would choose the fisherman's hymn, "for those in peril on the sea". I think it would sound good, and be appropriate.

Obviously substitute Eileen for Irene. Joking of course!

Greasy chip butty is our anthem, regardless of what Sheff Utd say.

A bit cheeky, but when they start singing Irene, the reply from Town was, "who the f**king h***s Irene, who the f***s is Irene?"

After speaking to some of the players, the general consensus is that "PH's black and white army" sung over a long time can suck the ball into the net. Welling away, Barnet away and Alfreton away are just a few examples that spring to mind.

Quoted from Marinerz93
Brizzie fans sing goodnight Irene,  we could sing, Irene, who the intercourse is Irene.


I call jinx, we said the same thing but on different threads at the same time. You owe me a coke at Wembley

Is that David Burns in the first video on the right?

I would argue this part in particular of the Orphan Boy song would be great for the team to come out to.  With "NOW IS THE TIME" the culmination followed by the MAARRRRINEEERRSSS  chant

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

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.

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

Can anyone speak German and translate this?

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.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.

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

i'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

Always thought Fisherman's Blues would be a good anthem for us

Would be great for the players to come out to(on a good pa system that is)

Good toon Tone. Can't believe how long ago that came out.

Get your fingers ready for pressing the red crosses!! but what about... wait for it....

In the jungle (the lion sleeps tonight)?
awimba way awimba way in the pontoon etc etc ( im sure people with more wit than me can come up with better lyrics that are relevant)
no one sings that I don't think!
ill get my coat......


Errrr.....someone already has. Have you not hear the "win away" song?

"We're the Grimsby, the mighty Grimsby, we always win away."

How about

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AgAHJKz-xvg

Could slightly change chorus to:

The rhythm of the park, is beating to the drum
With the black and white army roaring the boys on
No never will I roam, cos I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

For those of you that have access to the O.S watch the now showing 80's game vs Millwall..

The Maaaaarrriiinnneeerrrrsssss chant sung as it should be....not the Billy Whizz effect version that seems to have effected every song nowadays.

Kids of today...baaahhhhh.....no attention span so they have to sing everything in 5 secs otherwise its boring.
