CCFC SONG - Players coming onto pitch every home game....

Tue Aug 24, 2010 7:39 am

EVERY FAN IN THE STADIUM SHOULD BLAST THIS OUT:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD3ovfZXO5Q

Without fail, and make it a proper f*cking anthem, not just toy with it now and again!!

when we get to the premiership - we need a theme song like Liverpools - "Walk Alone"

Gotta be done..... :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

We have one. It's called "I'll be there" you might have noticed it had you attended any home games :walk:
And it's unique to Cardiff City. Not a rip off of someone else's.

Actually Gerry, Merlin is a season ticket holder, so does go to all of the home games, and travels to a fair few away games too.

I think Merlin is wanting us to have an 'anthem' rather than that 'I'll be there' song that doesn't really get the fans going at the start of the game.

I want a unique anthem too, but the I'll be there song that the players walk out to doesn't get the crowd going enough in my opinion.

Good song there Ian!

yer that ill be there song isnt right for us. i think a welsh song would be good as at least its something that the english wont have. ive always liked this one at wales games and it could apply to us about all our tax problems and us still being here inspite of everything

translation
You don't remember Macsen, who was he? You don't know
One thousand and six hundred years is far, far too long ago.
When Magnus Maximus left Wales three eighty three was the year
He left us as a nation, and today – we are still here!

Chorus:

We're still here today! We're still here today
Despite everything and everyone (x3)
We're still here today.

Let the wind blow from the East, let the storm from the sea roar
Let the sky split with lightning, let thunderbolts shout encore.
Let the faint-hearted keep wailing, let the serfs grovel and fawn
In spite of the darkness around us, we're ready to greet a new dawn.

Remember that old Prince Macsen, left our country as one
Let's shout out to all the nations 'We'll be here until Kingdom come!'
Despite all the collaborators, despite Tony's gang, we're alive
We'll be here for ever and ever, and the Welsh language will survive!

"I'll be there" is about as good as we'll ever get at CCFC. Men of Harlech would have been excellent but for the effort required to learn the words. We couldn't even manage the chorus. "Swansea slums" seems to be dying out of late and thank God the bridge song hasa been virtualy abandoned. I've always reckoned we should have an official "choir" whereby we could arrange for a greater range of songs to be sung.

Can't open youtube at work (at least not with sound) so I'm unable to hear what it is although I must say, I'm a bit against having a contrived anthem. You'll never walk alone was sung by the fans and crept in, I don't think I'd want the club foisting a particulatr song on us and saying "This is going to be your anthem". I like "I'll be there..." because it's crept in with the fans starting it in the first place

I have to say I am bored sh!tl£$$ of singing swansea songs - i bet they love it that is all we seem to know!

Men of Harlech should be the song AND the club should post the words up as it is being played - they put them up on the big on the screen

Not difficult really (it's done in the millennium stadium for the anthems) and that way fans old & new can sing it loud and proud

Men of Harlech (Stop Your Dreaming)
(Ivor Emmanuel)

Men of Harlech, stop your dreaming.
Can't you see their spear points gleaming?
See their warrior's pendants streaming
To this battlefield.

Men of Harlech, stand ye steady.
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready.
Stand and never yield.

Through the hills surrounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all to Cambria's call,
The mighty force surrounding.

Men of Harlech, on to glory!
This shall ever be your story.
Keep these fighting words before ye:
Cambria (Welshmen never) will not yield.

It's just one of the song's that makes your neck hair stand up. Would love to replace that current 'la la la' version for the full singy one. Hope it catches in time for the Prem next season.

Men of Harlech - match day programme as i suggested up on the big screen for those that dont buy programmes


I have enquired if the big screen is possible to do - be best thing for the atmo whatever song is chosen

I think the Men of Harlech is a good strng welsh song and the kids love the clapping in it and it looks good too!!!

Lets get it sorted :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

THE CITY ARE PUSHING THE "I'LL BE THERE SONG" - AND WONT PUSH ANYTHING ELSE - THE OTHERS MAY GET PLAYED TO SING ALONG

I like the way that Liverpool have takne an old Irish folk/rebel song, "The fields of Athan Rye" and changed the words to Fields of Anfield Road.

Would be great if we could maybe have some modern day and simple words to Men of Harlech "Men of Cardiff etc" personally, I'd love it if Jamie Fox could write something like "We are Cardiff City and we're going to Wembley"
