New Rovers anthem
« on February 22, 2025, 07:23:26 am by The_little_pretender1 »
Sorry if this is spam!

But after spending hours on social media I noted that there has been calls to have our own song like Arsenal do with North London Forever.

After several attempts I feel I have come up with the answer.

I came up with This is my city! The song is currently available to stream on the link below before it official release on 21st March on all major streaming services

I would love to hear people’s thoughts and if any one can help get this played on match day that help
Would be deeply appreciated!

Hi LP. That is truly beautiful. The media team needs to hear it. I for one would be dead proud to have it as our pre-match (and post-match?) anthem.

Well done.

I think the Arsenal one is brilliant and would love something similar. We have tried several times over the years for a pre match song and it’s never really taken off for reasons I’m not sure.

I think pre match songs have to be a bit shorter or play a catchy chorus which your song definitely does have

It's perfect. Had a tear on a 50 year old here.

We all have huge feelings for our club.

This is a chorus I can imagine a packed out black bank signing too in league 1 of course :)

Well done!

I’m from Doncaster,
This is my city, my club, my one true love,
This is my home,
On the terrace of red, I never feel alone,
I’m from Doncaster

A brilliant song and that chorus would catch on perfectly

In 2 years time when it’s caught on you could see that been sung at away games too.

There is a link in here i used https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/news/people/diehard-doncaster-rovers-fan-and-musician-to-release-new-unofficial-club-anthem-5002053

The original link posted in the OP worked fine for me and it is a well written piece.
I’m assuming that people are thinking that the fans would only be singing the chorus.

I’d be over the moon with people humming, singing or clapping to any part they want. The main thing was to create a terrace chanty/singalong chorus!

Turned it off half way through. Awful. Think it was the accent.

Fair play for having a crack but I’m not a fan. All subjective though so if the majority of people love it it would be great to have something that’s “ours”.

Whether it catches on or not that’s a top effort.

Didn’t do owt for me. The cockney accent didn’t help.

Hearts’ Sunshine on Leith is a proper anthem. Just need some ‘Donny lyricist’ to tinker with the words & make it appropriate to Rovers.

Surely the best anthems just appear. They are not manufactured.

Molly Malone,  sang properly like The Dubliners has always been perfect, it's always been sung, I remember it back in the 80s when I first started going.

Never understood why we've always looked for an anthem when it's been there all along.

Wrong, any football anthem has been written, recorded and played at grounds before the fans have adopted it.

We have the advantage of it been written by a rovers fan.

Just look at the effect north London forever has had on arsenal fans, a fan base not known for atmosphere, remember the 'Highbury library'.
Just shows it can work.
Spine tingling stuff for arsenal fans

Let's hope the club get on board with this, because it's what we've been crying out for, for decades  :rtid:

Not for me, doesn’t sound like an anthem at all
