Totally agree with LE18, those of us that were there in Clermont will testify the atmosphere after the game was fantastic. virtually every one including the team were singing, might not have been the same words but we were all singing, it’s up to you if you sing or not but why keep on moaning about others singing & trying to create an atmosphere.

One of the most stirring moments of the Twickers experience was when the players came over to our North/East corner of the ground with the trophy, 'Country Road' starting playing and we belted it out as loud as we could.

It contributed to an amazing atmosphere!

This is a thread about the words to a song that some people want to sing.

I completely understand that not everyone wants to sing along, and indeed I can well imagine some people just don't like the song. But I don't understand the need to keep on saying it in this thread.

It's like if there were a thread on this weekend's French matches and I kept going into it to post "I'm not going to watch this match, I think it's cringe that people are".

Sure, there's nothing to stop me doing so, but what am I hoping to gain from it? It's hardly a discussion, is it?

No one is forcing anyone to like or dislike the song.........it happened in Clermont and seems to have followed back to Welford.......discuss the song and the lyrics but please respect other peoples views.

Not sure why there's so much moaning about this.

I was belting it out on Saturday and loved it.

No one is forcing anyone to sing if they don't want to, I don't get the mentality of those who don't want to sing moaning at those who do

For those who dont want to join in, dont, but for goodness sake please dont keep repeating the fact over and over, those that want the song have heard your views, please relent and join in, its a bit of fun and the players like it. Its not intended to replace our Tigers chant, its just a bit of harmless fun.

Thought I would have a go at an alternative so called new anthem. All lyrics set to the tune of " Ireland Ireland"

Tigers Ti igers
together we stand tall
stronger and stronger
This is the tigers roar
This is the tigers roar

Steel hat and armour firmly on fire away
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Well ours is certainly better than Sweet Caroline that others play during the games! Well done Mike!

Sang at Clermont
Sang at Twickenhan
Sang at Welford Road
Sang in the bar
Sang in the street
Sang with players
Sang with friends
We were united, we roared and people knew we were in town

I can’t see why we are debating something so positive that has come, created and amplified such positive experiences-truly baffling !
