Chants

[SODisGOD]

How terrible are the chants we have? All but 2 or 3 consist of about 4 words if that. Can no1 think of anything better than what weve got? To start off heres one i thought of....


We've won it one time
We've won it one timeeeee
Johnstone's Paint Trophy
We've won it one timeeeeee

[thornerover94]

if you check through the previous threads plenty of people have suggested new chants for the games but no one wants to sing them cos they cant remember or dont no the words, they need to be sung at away games where all the fans are together before they be brought in at home games so people can learn the words thats the only way

[DRFCGlover]

Yeah, thorne rover is right, like the \"we don't care about rotherham\" chant started at an away game and they brought it to home games and people learnt it

Songs need to be easy for people to pick them up and sing, i start alot of songs in the west stand and have come up with songs, the ones that stick are ones people pick up quick, id love people to sing more difficult better songs, but wont happen.

Yeah, that song is much better than what we have now.  

[thornerover94]

i came up with about 5 new chants to have a go at but nobody was interested if more people were interested than alot more would stick, the only reason people sing the easy songs is because most of the other teams sing them aswell and these people probably arent even true rovers fans, i'll be going wednesday game next tuesday and going to have a good go at getting some new songs going hopefully it will work, just need all you people going to learn the songs and join in cos the wednesday lot guna be in a buoyant mood since there revival thru alan irvine so we got to silence them lot

Brilliant.
From 4 words to 8 just like that. 9 if you class time/timeeee as 2 words.

[Snods Shinpad 2]

I assume the OP was being ironic, in which case I vote:

We've won it two times
We've won it two timeeeees
Endsleigh Challenge Cup
We've won it two timeeeeees

If he wasn't, I feel like crying.

Perhaps you are right.
I have this terrible habit of assuming that other posters are neither as intelligent or as humorous as I am.

It's a fair assumption to make good Lord.  

Now if Leeds lose in the JPT tonight and get promoted this year we have one hell of a chant for next season.

How better to counteract their 'Champions of Europe' chant, with a rousing rendition of:

We've won it one time
We've won it one timeeeee
Johnstone's Paint Trophy
We've won it one timeeeeee

Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he




To the tune of Lord of the Dance

Like it. Very catchy.

Here's my effort:

She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
When she comes,
(When she comes).
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
When she comes,
(When she comes).
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain,
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain,
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain,
When she comes,
(When she comes).

***To the tune of 'She'll be comin' 'round the mountain'**


Maybe if we clap twice at the end of every refrain it would sound awesome.

Bit OTT with the caps lock.

Bristol city would probably accuse us of nicking their idea  :cheer:

That chant just sounds so gay though. Keep with the old favourites like 'Mow a miller' ZiggaZagga, RTID etc.

[DRFCGlover]

I got kinda one don't know if it goes but here it is

Tune: Mull of Kintyre
(Charlton and Forest sing it)

(Chours)
Alick Jeffrey Way
Oh mist rolling in from, the Lake
My desire is always to be found
At Jeffrey Way

Many Miles have i travelled
Many Games i have seen
Following Donny my favourite Team
Many hours have I spent singing for my team
Singing Alick Jeffrey Way
My Only Desire

Gay?

I don't get that one.

The song goes:
We don't care about Rotherham
We don't care about Leeds
All we care about
is DRFC

Not:
We don't care about fannies
We don't care about tits
All we care about
are other blokes' bits

Now that would make us sound gay.

[thornerover94]

Not:
We don't care about fannies
We don't care about tits

sounds like a leeds song lol!!!

the point is, singing different songs gets people interested, new songs each week people want to know whats coming next, so they are always listening the effect being people listening will learn it, those who learn it will sing it, those who sing it make it louder the louder it is the more people hear it and so on, then the better atmosphere is created at games making it a better experience for all who come to watch add that to solid performances on the pitch getting everyone excited means more people will want to turn up and feel the atmosphere while being entertained

[CusworthRovers]

I think in all honesty we need an area to sing before we all start composing songs. Like many of the away grounds we go to, the singers seemed to have found their way to being near the away fans and thus it creates a better atmosphere as they generally feed off the away fans and sing songs to counter theirs.

As said many times, all the Matt Munroe's need to get to the NW/NE corner. One or the other. In time other like minded crooners will follow. In effect it's already happening, but might take a few years. To speed this up, the club should advertise the fact through all avenues of comms and make it the singing area.

For example, for next season:

Customer '2 tickets for the Portsmouth game please'
Ticket Office 'Certainly, is that singing or non singing sir?'

[thornerover94]

yes i totally agree i usually sit in south stand but its just got worst as the season has gone on the drummer needs to shift himself there aswell, good name would be \"the only place in the stadium where you will get a half decent atmosphere section\"

It's brilliant. Worth the entrance price alone to hear that.

Maybe we could bounce up and down flapping our wrists limply at the away fans whilst singing it.  

[CusworthRovers]

As well as the wrist. Why don't we pull out our sparra's and goolies and then all jump up and down on the spot.

Who's with me tonight?
