Dunno what I was listening to when I typed that in, but it sounds nothing like the glorious Up Up Cronulla that gets boomed out by the crowd after victories at Shark Park.

Sports Prophet Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 However, the best entrance I have ever seen is Virginia Tech Gridiron. Would love to see examples of other clubs/sports demonstrate anything similar. A fantastic example of how to make your home games an event. Utterly enjoyable for your own fans, yet totally inhospitable to the players of the opposing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clwydianrange Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I used to watch Featherstone in the seventies and seem to remember them coming on the pitch to a trumpet solo. Or had I had too much ale in the rovers social club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all the references to that song were sarcasm. I can’t think of a more inappropriate tune to come out to! I don’t remember any game-opening tunes at Wilderspool until the early 2000s when Sean Mellor started using The Prodigy and Duran Duran. I think we used Tom Hark for tries scored from the start of Super League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 On 13/06/2021 at 21:56, Man of Kent said: Have to say Old Faithful is my favourite club song. Who would have thought a song - which must be about 100 years old - about a man’s love for his dying horse would endure. Do we know when it was first sung by Hull FC fans? On 13/06/2021 at 22:01, Barley Mow said: Old Faithful was written by Gene Autry in 1933 and 1st sung by Hull FC about Joe Oliver, who played for them 1928-37 and 1943-45, so must have been between 1933 and 1945. I'm proud to say that, about 20 years ago, I was called to a job in the Avenues area of Hull to check on a faulty security light for a customer. After talking to her for some time, it transpired that she was 94 years young, and remembered her dad taking her to the Boulevard in the 1930's where she remembered seeing Joe Oliver play. It was an absolute privilege talking to her, although it was tempered somewhat when the following conversation took place... 94 year old lady : "Thanks for doing the job but I'm not really sure if I should have bothered as I don't think I'll be here much longer" Me : "Don't be daft, you seem like a really sprightly lady to me, I'm sure you'll be around for a good while yet!" 94 year old lady : "Oh, I didn't mean that, I'm moving to Doncaster in a few weeks" Me : speechless.

Always good to work from an out-of-copyright original melody. I was reminded of your comment when the origin of the Sharks song came up in a podcast. Turns out you are bang on the money. Whatever I first listened to sounded nothing like the Sharks song (perhaps there was a long intro) but when I found “Skoda Lasky” (the original lyrics to “Roll out the Barrel”) sung in Czech, there it was in all its glory.

Any others current or historical? don't think hunslet fans will be pleased with your interpretation of there song. personally I think it more appropriate.
