Title: New Reflective Rovers Song
Post by: VivaRovers on April 13, 2010, 06:22:48 pm
Ignore the oxymoronic subject title, its been a long day. I'm trapped in the office til late most days this week and so have hauled in a few albums to help get through the hours. One of which is The Courteeners latest one. Not sure if its been noted on here before, but the opening track of the album does name-check Doncaster. Surely we should jump on this for a chant/song.

Thinking on, we have a great recent history which should surely be acknowledged in the chants/songs of our support. I loved the \"We've won it one time\" Johnstone's Paint Trophy song at the Cardiff City game and think there really ought to be more like this.

And particularly more that are unique to us. So as to afford a break from my computer screen for a few minutes I decided to reword the back end of The Courteneers track, namely the section from 3 minutes 20 seconds in, where Doncaster is referenced.

For those who don't know it, this is the track;

Try sticking these words over the top from 3mins 20secs;

I love my home town club
And I have seen them everywhere
From Welling to West Brom,
Wembley - we're Doncaster.
We're the Rovers

Cheered at Belle Vue, the Keepmoat too
I've seen us play at Margate
Now we're playing you

We are DR, DRFC
We are DR, DRFC
We are DR, DRFC
We are DR, DRFC



Right thats enough of that... back to spending my evening picking up the slack from lazy students

I likes it me (from 3m 20s). It does sound a little like Wedding Present.


Does KM have a singing section?

Apparently it does, but they like to keep the noise down so as not to upset the neighbours, they only allow a couple of people at a time to sing
