Swindon Town FC - Supporters song?

[phelpsieboy]

Could you imagine the Townend Boys singing the intro to this 

[jb]

Yup Mad Dad would love it

[phelpsieboy]

Or this in honour of Mr Prutton while he is with us

Things like this evolve spontaneously if they are going to at all.  Attempting consciously to manufacture a terrace anthem isn't going to work.

This

After trying to manufacture a club song for all to sing along to, don't forget to bring song sheets and a drum, and speak to the club to see if they can play some piped clapping through the PA.

Failing that, just go to games, get pissed, have a laugh and see what happens.

Agree.... never going to happen.

I really don't like the "Wise Men Say" song... it seemed to spring out of nowhere sometime in the mid-nineties and so many other teams sing it.... Woking fans even sang it when they came to the CG.

Many years ago, "The Farmer's Boy" was a bit of a STFC terrace anthem - it was one of the marches of the old Wiltshire Regiment:

Ive' been thinking recently (dangerous!) and it would be nice if the fans had a unique song to sing for the team, one that we sang that no one else sings etc. I've listed a few clubs and their songs below to give you an idea of what I mean...

Southampton:    When the saints go marching in
West Ham:         I'm forever blowing bubbles
Millwall:             No one likes us (and why the fuck do you think that is?)
Celtic/Liverpool:  You'll never walk alone
Huddersfield:      Those were the days my friend
Leeds:               MOT (some song about a broken car... I dunno!)

The closest you could argue for us (that would be unique) to something along those lines that springs to mind is possibly "Rockin Robin" which is a bit shit!!

If it weren't already such a popular tune, I'd love to see us get something a touch catchy like Tom Hark (you're only here to watch the town etc!).

Opinions...? Ideas?
(other than that I am a cunt? I'm alrady aware of that one!  )

Goodnight Irene   -  Bristol Rovers
Blue Moon          -   Manchester City
On the ball, City  -  Norwich City
Singin' the blues      Birmingham City
Bladon races      -   Newcastle United

And please,  It's  "Can't help falling in love with you",    Not  "Wise men say"

Can't help falling in love with you is our song wether people sing along when its played or not.....anything but black eyed peas or eminem before a game anyway, terrible choice. I've always said an edited clean 'fuckin' in the bushes' by oasis would be a good pumped up tune to come out to.

[Peter Venkman]

I actually do really like "Can't help falling in love with you" and I too have no idea where it sprung from around about 93-94 when we started singing it.

I love it when its sung well but then the clapping starts and it speeds up and is totally ruined.

As for Farmers Boy, I would love to hear the ground singing that, its very distinct and has heritage for the club and county but will it catch on? mmmm doubt it, unfortunatly.

Singin' the blues      Birmingham City

Keep right on ('til the end of the road) is Brum too

[nevillew]

Keep right on ('til the end of the road) is Brum too

Good shout, perhaps I'm wrong then.

[BelfastRobin]

I heard the Palace fans singing that non-stop away at Preston a few weeks ago, absolute quality song...would love if we had a version of it.

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

i'd rather not steal a song like the likes of Sunderland have done with ours.

[jutty274]

You are my Swindon, my only Swindon you make me happy when skies are grey & red & white. You'll never notice how much i love you until you take my Swindon away.

[Benzel]

Other than CHFILWY, I really like Forever and ever, we'll follow our team.. What with all the winding up orders and bouts of admin, "we'll never die, we'll never die" seems quite apt.
