I am hugely jealous of club anthems such as the Swansea Hyms and Arias (see below), and such songs as Liverpool's 'Fields of Anfield Road'. I know it can't be pushed on us, like 'The Caravan of Love', however it would be nice to be able to sing a decent anthem/ chant. We've had a few examples. What ever happened to the 'black and amber submarine' anthem?
Do you mean "we all follow a black and amber team"? Can't remember a song where we sang about a black and amber submarine. Had to be dropped as "we all follow a black and sonic gold team" doesn't scan.
As long as it's not Wise Men Say, because that's used by loads of teams. Think the Mackems started it, but not sure.
Thats the one, the words escaped me, was more the 90's it was sung, Ehiooo was sung frequently through the football league.
City till i die(when i want) i'm city till i die(when i want) i know i am, i'm sure i am, i'm City till i die...When i want
Give me a c, give me an I, give me a t, give me a yiiii. What have you got, The tigers...... Oh yeah, we can't sing that anymore cause ctwd will cry
More like time at the bar at the moment. I still think we should get the "one guy shouts, the rest of the stand responds". Kinda like the spartans in 300 style thing. I mean, actually make it an atmosphere that'll make opposition fans hold their kids a little closer, that'll send a shiver down their spines. It's not hard, it happens in loads of other countries. Clubs like St Pauli, Galatasaray, Olympiakos, Dinamo Zagreb, LKS Lodz, they all do it on the continent and it's ****ing mint. We don't want to be somewhere that fans come and make loads of noise, they want to come here and feel obliged to sit down and shut the **** up while we make all the noise.
(Lone voice) "City, give us the ball!" (rest of stand) "United*, come and get it! HU!" *Insert appropriate team name here. I don't think it's a good idea to chuck pointy sticks though!
They're not anthems THIS is an anthem - mind you Aussie Rules is not for the faint-hearted, it's still a body contact game (for REAL men): It's worth watching just for the incident at the 2 minute mark where the trainer runs out to attend to his player and flattens an opposing player.
We have plenty of good chants. The issue the OP is getting at is a proper anthem. I thought Caravan of Love was perfect but it was poorly done and then given up on. There was a game just before Christmas where the carol singers sang it in front of the north stand at half time. The north stand joined in but just before the chorus kicked in they were cut off by Eye of the ****ing Tiger over the tannoy.
