Swans Song



Tonight, at the end of the game, my hope is that this song will be played and sung loudly:

"Cheer, Cheer the Red and the White
Honour the name by day and by night
Lift that noble banner high
Shake down the thunder from the sky
Whether the odds be great or small
Swans will go in and win over all
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory"

I love the idea of each team having a song. It provides a real sense of team pride and ownership. Better then "Waltzing Matilda" before every Rugby Union test match. (Oh no, is that "Un Australian").

Come on you SWANNIES

  • I love that photo. I've never seen a fan more scared in his life - i reckon he was certain that O'Loughlan was about to headbutt him or something... Great stuff.
