An old topic I know.....but hearing Hull fans singing Wise men say tonight made me think....we haven't even got our own anthem.......may I suggest Moonriver as an alternative that no one else has.
 
At least PNE , PNE, etc is unique.
There's only Liverpool's anthem that no-one else sings. Everyone else copies everyone else.
I'm surprised Cardiff don't sing that wartime Vera Lynn song. Taffys ay ?

What about Stoke's Delilah and Sheff U's version of Annie's song? Not aware of any other team singing those....Blue Moon too .....
 
Do the singers strike up these themselves, or have to be prompted by the PA systems ? It seemed to be that at Bramall Lane - ( I've not been to Stoke for a few seasons now.) There's also truly awful 'squad' songs that were played at Elland Road, Chelsea & Spurs - but not strangely, they didn't last that long. Others play Jeff Beck's naff "High ho Silver Lining" ( a midlands club possibly )

Just my opinion - they are all forced / fake.
 
Hope no-one clapped.
Suitable reciprocation.
It reminds me slightly of the story about the Emperor's New Clothes.
 
YNWA ?
Young ******* with Attitude ?

tbh I thought it was some Eire Anthem they sang- 'Fields of Atholl' or summat ?
 
We should be singing "Margie the girl with the hooped socks" no one else will be singing that! 😂

It is most likely that even if we had our own song very few would sing it.

Is it just PNE that has this problem?

Guys have tried their best to raise the atmosphere to no avail, although there has been occasions when something seems to spark them into action.

One thing that would help would be if the team started to play some decent attacking football, started to score a few goals and won more home games, that may help put people in a better frame of mind to want to sing.
 
I dont think a clubs anthem/walk out music needs to be unique so long as everybody buys in to it, I dont mind wise men personally but it feels dated now.

I've noticed that we've been switching up the pre match music quite a lot recently, possibly some more RL superstition rubbish or just an attempt to lift the atmosphere. I do think they have it nailed with Fatboy Slim at half time though.

We do have some wank songs though overall. I cringe how often we sing about Blackpool.
 
I know the DJ plays Happy by Pharrell Williams at the end of the match but funnily enough I only notice this when we win. Does it play it after every match?

Keep up
Delilah has been cancelled.
Maybe the town end could sing matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs - very working class and easy enough words to remember as most can’t read
 
Just as a witty wind up...get the deepdale DJ to play going down by Bruce Springsteen at the derby....would be quite appropriate
