At some point, probably in July, we have to whittle down the nominations to about half a dozen, to run the poll.

It's Danny Boy for me.

Everyone knows it we all sang it in the school choir.  This is a song that's slow enough and loud enough to be the one.  Would somebody kindly post a You Tube version of this because it's beyond me I'm afraid.

Good luck!

Hmmm I can see what you mean if you supplement Danny with Donny.

Sorry....I still think this has all the 'must haves' for a Rovers anthem.  Castles (we play at the Keepmoat FFS), beer, battling and a right old rousing chorus which can be a football chant.... It's just needs renaming \"The goals of O'Driscoll's men\"

In fact - the \"Hoorah hoorah hoorah hey...over the hills with the goals of O'Discoll's men\" snippet could be played when we score.  Much more fun that the Tom Hark snippet that's so lame, and done to death by other clubs.  THIS IS ORIGINAL!!!!!  No other club has it.  

Anyway.... who's to say we can't have more than one anthem?  Let's have yers!

To my knowledge they were never seen in the same room....

Brilliant to hear this song again and it gets my vote.

The poll facility on this site can have up to twelve options.  I have tried to distinguish the Anthem genre of song to the songs some would like to hear when the players run out onto the pitch.

In relation to the thread 'ANTHEM Poll Nominations' I have whittled it down to 12 songs for consideration with regards to entering the poll.

These are:

The Impossible Dream - Andy Williams
Love’s Good To Me (I Have Been A Rover) - Frank Sinatra
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life - Monty Python
Molly Malone - Dubliners
Irish Rover - Dubliners
Wild Rover - Pogues / Dubliners
Is This The Way To Amarillo - Tony Christie
Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs
Centrefold - J Geils Band
Design For Life - Manic Street Preachers
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
It's Not Where You Start, It's Where You Finish


To hear the songs without traipsing back through the tread, click on this link:
