I've heard Scotland sing it, I 've heard liverpool sing a version of it as for the others well Leicester and stoke really sing it? never heard stoke or leicester sing it, wellington phoenix, anderlect really? Stoke first sang it against Arsenal oct 2008. home.wanadoo.nl/maarten.geluk/songs/rscanderlecht.htmlAndelecht have a lot of songs there, I don't think 90 minutes is long enough to sing all of them. Heck it nearly 90 minutes to find out where it was amongst all that. BTW they never sang it when the played TNS on either occasion. As for Stoke never heard them sing it either when we played them so. those 2 prove nothing more than they tried it. Personally something like this would be good

Cracking first song onthetrain92, really catchy and would be great to hear it against Rotherham I also think you second song could work if it was shortened and some of the words changed. This is a song my granddad wrote years ago to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. Of all the teams that are in the world, there's one I'd rather chose. They are the best above the rest, they are the mighty shrews. They play to win they never give in, they never let us down. They are our team the rule supreme, They are the Shrewsbury Town. Would be good to get that going.

It would be great if we had our own song but I don't think it's something that should be forced.
I doubt loads of Liverpool fans sat down and decided You'll Never Walk Alone would be their anthem. Nor did Stoke decide on Delilah, that came from a well-known fan singing on the karaoke after the game every Saturday.
And let's face it, those songs aren't the most fashionable. So maybe, unfortunately for some, the club song is staring at us in the face: Catch Us If You Can.

Catch us if you can should always be our run out to song and will forever be fondly linked with the club however untill someone is able to remix a slower sing along version its never going to be heard sang at a volume at the meadow and certainly not away grounds or even Wembley!
As previous posters have pointed out not something you can force but i think as the feel good factor grows around the club i think it would be good to harness a song that everyone could get behind without losing c u i y c...
Agree with Sam " Shrewsbury boy" is a belter Frank sinatra on the back of Gts fondness for "new york" etc could be a winner, personally always liked Elvis " falling in love" renditions on the Riverside.
Will take somebody to take this by the horns and run with it to make it work, getting something in the programme, ignoring any knocks etc A persistant loud bugger!!!! Sounded like there was a fair few of them at Oldham!!

For those of us who remember when we got promoted to (the old) Division Two (Championship in new money) we released a great tune (not) in The Town, The Town we're in the Second Division (repeat several times). By the way does anyone still have copy of this? Having been to all our games in D2 (as was then in 1979) it was played before every game. So we have a chequered (actually awful!) record of club songs. BTW Coming Down the Road isn't an option, having spent the last 16 years exiled in Scotland where GT's STFC would give most SPL teams a run for their money, do you want to be a bunch of miserable gingers with not even a Wembley playoff to look forward to? I said before about we'll be coming down the road! when you here the noise of the blue and amber boys, we'll be coming down the road. As had been said before somebody get hold of hello cleveland to do a blue and amber boys version of this

Nor did Stoke decide on Delilah, that came from a well-known fan singing on the karaoke after the game every Saturday. . Agreed, these sort of things occur naturally, sometimes very randomly! Handing out hymn sheets to supporters and forcing people to sing a song is tacky and pointless IMO, it's only if (for whatever reason) a song becomes closely associated with a club that people will take it to their hearts. Far better to concentrate on making noise and getting behind the team, songs/chants will originate naturally. I'd sooner have a league title than a club song anyday!
