Copa Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Played at every home game ... we don’t always sing along. Some do some don’t. Players’ victory song Edited June 20, 2020 by Copa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 stone giant Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Copa, I wasn't expecting the standard to be high (because team songs are rarely much good), but both of those songs are truly awful IMHO. Well, to be honest I could barely understand a word of the players song, but musically it sounded poor. The theme song wasn't much better. Putting the word "green" in almost every line doesn't help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 16 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm sure that all* clubs also have a victory song that's sung in the sheds after a win but which can't be repeated in polite society. * though possibly not West Wales Raiders.

AB Knight Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Castleford claim Sweet Caroline as their own song but there were clubs using it long before. I guess this is their official winning song though. York only really have ‘When The Knights Go Marching In’ but I’ve long thought with a bit of creativity ‘All Day All Of The (K)Night’ by The Kinks could be adapted and sound good/original. Wouldn’t say the club have a victory song though (apart from in the changing rooms), ‘Crazy Nights’ by Kiss is sometimes played and there’s a horrible dance song the players come out to, neither really gets you going. I remember for a season or two St Helens fans put their own words to ‘Anarchy In The UK’ which was clever. I despise Marching On Together being sung by Leeds Rhinos or any other team than Leeds Utd. 1 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" Keep popping up everywhere these Leigh Lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree regarding Marching on Together, it is a Leeds United song, hearing Leeds Rhinos fans singing it is terrible, it's not their song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a Leeds song now, much like a lot of songs including "one in the media right now" its taken on new meaning to what it was 50 years ago. We tend to be supporters of both teams anyway and there is great synergy between the two clubs at the moment being effectively 1 club cities in each sport. I always find it funny when Cas and Wakey fans boo MOT on a Friday night away at Headingley then proudly sing it at elland road the next day.

Of course they will boo it when Leeds RL are singing it whilst playing their teams, and if they are LUFC fans it will be even worse hearing it sung by RL supporters.

del capo Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Further down the food chain at NCL level ' Fields of Athenry ' has been the club house anthem of choice at Wigan St Pats since it was written in the mid seventies , years before that Scouse Soccer team ever got hold of it...…..
