Sweet Caroline

Like it or hate it this is OUR anthem, we should make the best of it like the Boston Red Sox fans do!

I'm just glad we settled on a song.

For what it's worth I think Sweet Caroline does the job well it's just I'd rather they just played it the once just before kick-off.

I don't mind sweet Caroline, i find it more weird at a football game than pissed up at a 7s tournament but it's fine.

I just hate the faggy goal music. If you have to have goal music at least have something that isn't so shit. Go back to Chelsea dagger or something. Literally anything.

Yes, this genuinely came from the fans and was not contrived by the marketing team and is not a copy of an American baseball team's effort, so absolutely no chance for the T&J theme then!

Personally I can't abide the idea of Sweet Caroline or the change from 'Biscuitmen' to shudder 'Royals' just yuk!

Didn't they change the nickname in the late 1970's? Stop the world I want to get off!

That's my point.

Our goal music is truly abhorrent.

Well if the fans had not accepted the nickname change we could still be the biscuit men, too late to change it back now.

BTW I prefer biscuitmen, let's have a poll and see if anyone cares enough to start a campaign to reclaim....

Sweet Caroline is a great song and it gets the emotions going but it doesn't lend itself very well to being a football terrace anthem.
You can't really get into that song and sing it on the terraces. It just doesn't work.

It's a fantastic song to sing in a pub after you've had a few and to sing to a woman. Singing touching me touching you on the terrace, we just aint having that.

We need something else! The song Sasima made is pretty good and cheesy and cringeworthy. Let's make that our anthem!
