Time to Sing
Putting this on a seperate thread so it doesn't get lost on other thread posts.
So what time are we planning on breaking out into song.
Opening number to be "Welford Road" to the tune of "Country Roads"

Re: Time to Sing
First kick off after Tigers' first score?
No, not that one!

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Re: Time to Sing
Apologies to John Denver (Country Roads) and Pithhead
Almost heaven, Welford Road
Where our Tigers, have played forever
Life’s the best there, one big family
Young and old together, cheering on our team
Welford Road, take me home
To the place I belong
Leicester Tigers, you’re the greatest
Take me home, to Welford Road
All the memories, since 1880
All the players, that have come and gone
Premier Cup wins, we have plenty
Europeans, we have two
Welford Road, take me home
To the place I belong
Leicester Tigers, you’re the greatest
Take me home, to Welford Road
We’ll raise our voices, to drive the lads along
“Come on you Tigers”, chanted 80 minutes long
When the game is over, no matter win or lose
We support the greatest, in the red white and green
Welford Road, take me home
To the place I belong
Leicester Tigers, you’re the greatest
Take me home, to Welford Road
Take me home, down to Welford Road
Take me home, down to Welford Road
Almost heaven, Welford Road
Where our Tigers, have played forever
Life’s the best there, one big family
Young and old together, cheering on our team
Welford Road, take me home
To the place I belong
Leicester Tigers, you’re the greatest
Take me home, to Welford Road
All the memories, since 1880
All the players, that have come and gone
Premier Cup wins, we have plenty
Europeans, we have two

Re: Time to Sing
Think we should just start with the chorus

Re: Time to Sing
As much as it pains me to say, Scott is absolutely right on this one …! One verse ! Imagine it increasing in volume, intensity to an increasing (eg clapped) tempo !
Love the idea !
Love the idea !

Re: Time to Sing
Twitter is also saying just the Chorus so let's keep to that!
Try and get as many as we can!

Re: Time to Sing
Pithhead lead our fans on Sunday, it went down a storm, love the long version but as fans we got to keep it short, come on you fans get singing you will love it and hopefully Clermont will remember it for ever. (was Clermont the first time we heard it?)

Re: Time to Sing
And to answer the killjoys who will inevitably pop up and tell us we don't traditionally sing at Welford Rd; we didn't traditionally play Smoke on the Water for the players to run out to until the 2000/01 season when the players decided it was time for a new tradition for a new era. This feels like a new era, time to add a new tradition...
No, not that one!

Re: Time to Sing
Crofty I don't think the Killjoys will object, its a lovely tune and very easy to sing to, it could be our own Sweet Caroline, its almost heaven.Crofty wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:26 pm And to answer the killjoys who will inevitably pop up and tell us we don't traditionally sing at Welford Rd; we didn't traditionally play Smoke on the Water for the players to run out to until the 2000/01 season when the players decided it was time for a new tradition for a new era.

Re: Time to Sing
To answer your question LE18, the live band at Clermont started playing “country road” on about the half hour mark and about 5 minutes later the “Welford road” version started to be heard ..it was the first time I had heard it anyway
