Sports Prophet Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Being more open to a song song, do all the English SL clubs have what would be considered an official club song? (I’m sure there is a YMCA joke in there somewhere). Most Sydney RL clubs do but the only club I know that will embrace the song by singing it after a win is the Sharks. In AFL, the club song is intrinsic, so it is strange that the club song is valued differently between the two codes in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have heard Oldham fans really like Swing Low Sweet Chariot but that may be because Sky told them to.

Angelic Cynic Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It should be mandatory,at a time when history is being re-written/abolished,that current local musicians are invited to rugby league stadia, to not only perform, but compose a new song, relevant to this millennium , for their local rugby league clubs. Some musicians may not get too many opportunities to perform in front of hundreds/thousands of people. It could be beneficial for both the young/not so young musicians, and the clubs. It also be mandatory that any songs composed from beyond these shores,especially the USA,or sung by singers from beyond these shores,especially American,are banned from rugby league stadia here in the UK. It should ensure a musical experience for every rugby league event, up to and beyond the composition of the new club song. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Futtocks Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I vaguely remember St Helens having a song that was (I think) based on the tune from "The Wild Rover".

Hull Kingston Bronco Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Aye, Rovers’ is Red Red Robin, you’ll hear it every game... although these days to be honest I prefer our 2nd club song, ‘A Little Respect’ which sprung up by accident at a Headingley cup semi and seems to have stuck... Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why go to Wigan, while you can come here to watch Tommy Martyn and drink Greenalls beer" Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
