The Anthem

[fedelta]

Who did come up with this song???

+1
and who/how many actually voted on having this "anthem"

I dunno, the people who actuallly put time and effort into creating banners, flags etc.

Ahh so thats why we have 5 or so people singing it

yes, as no one else can be f**ked to do anything to help out yet they can whinge all they like on the forum.

Squadron are the only other supporter group (to my knowledge) who have an anthem operating. Now, we ('marinators') have a chance here to *gasp* actually gain some respect from other supporter groups in the country (Because, believe me, we are _laughed at_ something chronic).

Wise men say..

If your doing it for the "respect" then you seriously dont get the concept at all.

^^ Hibs fans singing Sunshine on Leith (No this is not a suggestion, just setting a benchmark)

I'm no Hibs fan but that song is one of the best as far as anthems go.

It does help though that the Proclaimers are mad Hibs fans and Leith is the area of Edinburgh that Hibs come from.

Wait till an away trip - thats where the songs develop

IMHO the song fits well and the words are so easy, not sure how anyone can say it doesn't fit tbh.  Christ, West Ham chant about bubbles!

Hull City actually already use this as their anthem.

So is there a point(after 'x' amount of games or whatever), should it not take off, that you'll consider changing it?

Dats funny ;D

I think it's great. The Hull vid is exciting.
Surely the best way to develop it is via the loud speakers at home with hand outs given out when people come through the gates?

I'd certainly be willing to put in a 20 and give half an hour of time.

Lulz. Will you too be sporting hideous sunglasses and lame tattoos?



I don't know why everyone is so against it? It works well. Its an easy song to learn, and like Deej said...West Ham sing about bubbles ffs!! If EVERYONE got behind it, and stopped complaining about it...it would sound amazing.

 

[~Floss~]

The bubbles song ... pointless and irrelevant though it may seem to us ... apparently started as a song about a club legend nicknamed Bubbles, caught on and stuck.

I say this just "for the record" because people seem to be raising "Forever Blowing Bubbles" as an example of a completely irrelevant song with no tradition or history or rhyme or reason behind it.

I'm not saying don't support CHFILWY. Tradition and association cannot be achieved it we don't give something a decent go.
The next monumentally emotional and memorable game we have (like our last GF, the 3-0 return leg semi, the 4-5 vs Syd, a 3-0 down comeback, etc. etc.) we need to have SOMETHING to sing and IMO from that day on we will have found our meaningful anthem.

 

[typool]

i dont mind the song....i'm kinda caught in the middle.
the only thing that i don't like is that the Anthem we use is being used by other teams (Hull City for eg)
it would be nice to have a song of our own..

i know others may disagree.
