Hopefully others can come up with some new songs to improve the atmosphere on matchdays.

We have also had donated by Terry Timebomb our new match P.A a 22" bass drum which Lorne Mosely has kindly decorated with the Rovers emblem, this I am sure you will all hear this Thursday night and beyond.

Well the atmosphere definitely improved tonight, Thanks to everyone that joined in. Lets see if we can keep it up at the next home game against workington.

Some sunshine would be nice also

Few supporters on Featherstone Rovers facebook page asking for the song above and the Are we Human Or Are We Rovers song so will post that again later.

We're starting to get a few more intetested in improving the game day experience in the Family stand with the help of Terry Timebomb the new P.A. man.

a while ago someone on here suggested adopting & adapting the Wild Rover. Can see how this would work especially with the drum accompanying the clapping bit:

"and it's no, nay, never (clap,clap,clap,clap)/no, nay, never no more/will you beat the Fev Rovers/no never, no more!

I've been suggesting it for years, every time the issue of a new song has been raised, although there's no need to change it that much, Wild Rovers would sound better, and you only need to sing the chorus, which is uncomplicated and easy to sing, even by the worst of voices. It is also a very uplifting chant.
We used to have a section in the matchday programme in the 80's or 90's called The Wild Rover, and it could be brought back, or even the programme itself could be called The Wild Rover. We could even stretch the Irish theme a bit by bringing out a special away shirt in a dark green butcher's apron design with the slogan "WILD ROVER" on the front or back.
