Songs/Chants for the Singing Section

My vote goes to "On the One Road" for after the Anthem

**Junior** · 03/02/2009, 10:15 AM

maybe we could just go for soemthing like this half an hour before kickoff - certainly get everyone in to the mood and relatively cheap I reckon.............

i'd play U2's "where the streets have no name" as the teams walks out...

**Cowboy** · 03/02/2009, 12:06 PM

Yeah we could have a "whip around" to pay for it

Plenty for the play list but this is the vital one

On The One Road seems a popular choice or a U2 number, or maybe Dropkick Murphys

So can yis post your own choice please

surely it has to be something that the fans might join in with? assuming that my suggestions would be "on the one road" or "put em under pressure" (with the words put up on the big screen)

could you also suggest the following to them?
- no music after a goal as it actually reduces atmosphere
- if they insist on having the carlsberg band can they be restricted to chants, songs etc that the fans know? too often recently they just play some kind of samba beat that no one recognises or joins in with

thanks

agree, but probably no choice though. realistically those who go on away trips will know on the one road but i doubt too many others will. would apply to most of the songs not sung regularly at our home matches

A supporter will find the song lyrics for himself. The singing section will be full of supporters.

I would have thought that's exactly what you want, otherwise how would everybody else in the ground know what was going on and/or know the words to the song. To get as many people singing as possible is the point after all.

For what its worth & as much as I hate the song why not go with the fields of Athenry with the team appearing as the chorus starts. Its one song that virtually everybody knows

**zenokelly** · 03/02/2009, 3:21 PM

On the One Road defo for me.

**paul_oshea** · 03/02/2009, 3:36 PM

dropkick murphys or on the one road - because both are rocky and u2 are crap.

This from a man who likes bands like Rainbow.

**paul_oshea** · 03/02/2009, 4:26 PM

I like a few rainbow songs, im sure you like one or two of them as well neil. I never said i liked the band.

Check out "since you've been gone", great tune.

Just seen the clip of the derry fans in the league cup final 08, and was well impressed. Thats the type of chant I'd be expecting in the section.

I know what they sing, and its rubbish **** rock in my view but sure each to their own.
