Game Day Crowd Songs

[Infamy]

Asking a bit much for them to know what Les Miserables is as well....

They don't really need to know where the song comes from, its a fairly simple tune
Just like most people don't know where the Richmond theme song tune comes from (Row-Row-Row)

 

[Grockadoc]

Here's one of my friends favourite songs when he is absolutely plastered as hell:

(to the tune of "We Can't be Beaten")

If you love the Richmond Tigers
Then stand up with me.
It's time to make the MCG
Richmond Tiger Territory

We'll never weaken, we got Rance down the back
And up forward we have the mighty Jumping Jack!

Martin to Deledio, who kicks to Vickery!
Who'll send us closer to Tiger Victory!

LED BY CAPTAIN COTCHIN!

Get's a bit embarassing at times.

 

[This Is Anfield]

You'll Never Walk Alone.
95000 at the G for a practice match.
End thread.

I reckon everyone doing the seven nation army chant when cotch walk to toss the coin till the start would be pretty amazing. Especially if we start it at the PRE and it spreads. Start Round 1 see how it goes

I am still disappointed to this day I didn't go.

[Nostradumbass]

Richmond clap clap clap

 

[Bojangles17]

Did sweet Caroline , used at the scg , ripped off the Boston red sox ever catch on ?

 

[This Is Anfield]

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi.
That always brought a tear to my eye...


...of laughter.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Just doesn't fit with footy.
Suits the soccer with the ebb and flow.
Maybe something pre game but we already have a song.

 

[Black Saab]

Funnily enough Soccer has the best atmosphere/chants going for it when all the action is happening...

Was in Newcastle, UK over Christmas and New Year and went to see Newcastle United play on boxing Day against Chelsea. St James Park always sells out no matter where United are on the table and the atmosphere is awesome whole game round but especially when it heats up like it did in the second half against Chelsea. It was just like watching the Tiges in the 3rd quarter of a close game.

The songs and chants give everyone an avenue to pour out your spirit in response to the tension of what's happening on the field. As supporters we are passengers to the action and chants and singing can help deal with not being able to do anything about what we are watching.

All for it as long as it doesn't turn our footy in stupid parochial, tribal violence like it can in the UK where rival supporters have to sit in special sectioned off areas.

One of the great things about our game is supporters being able to sit pretty much anywhere and certainly alongside supporters of other clubs.

I think the OPs song was a great effort and to that tune from Les Mis it would sound awesome and eery.
