The club encouraging the supporters to get behind the team? Yeah, it's an outrage.

Never understood why they don't play old faithful when the team comes out. I can't think of another sports club who have an "official" song who don't play it when they enter the field.

I could maybe understand it if it was some chirpy song about a robin but OF is a great anthem

Don't miss understand me mate I have no problem with encouraging the fans (although the best way to do this is to perform on the pitch!). But I have been singing/shouting/swearing/etc of my own accord for long enough without having to be told when and how to do it and the song has managed to start itself for over a hundred years. It's just atmosphere generation instructions such as telling me where to start the 'ooohhhhhllllld' of old faithful and the "let's hear you South Stand" etc can seem a bit desperate and a little embarrassing

I think I agree. Particularly with the part in brackets. If we were playing good rugby and competing at a decent level, there would be no need to issue rallying cries via the official website.

The 'official' version the club has had recorded isn't very rousing though. I feel sure I could do better myself given a day or two of studio time.

Just read the clubs website re singing old faithful just before the team comes out...

Not sure about everyone else but I think it takes a bit away from the song or it's not sang with real passion when we are told to do it... Just IMO of course..

Wondered what others thought? I might be on my own here?

Well with the new bloke on the mic trying to whip it up,it is hard to get any real passion singing it anyway.

Might need to merge this with my New Bulls? Thread lol I agree tho!

Go for it Rock God I agree the recorded version the club have is not exactly rousing!
Atmosphere can be assisted with good music - I used to like it when the KC first opened and they played The Who, but it did make me smile at the message of "teenage wasteland" lol
