Chants yes, anthems is different and you sir are an idiot if you dont know the difference, not many teams have an original one off anthem of there own, and guess like the way your team are playing your fans are as unimaginative as they are, try using your brains and find one of your own original if you know what that means, how bout Meatloafs you took the words right outa my mouth. Up the Warriors

Biggest over-raction ever????



Are you like, 12?

It's like Gene Autry never happened

But they weren't singing FC's.....they were singing a song with different lyrics? Next time Wigan come to town, I'll expect them to sing songs no one has ever heard of.

Oh dear, are you all daft or something, once again you miss the point i make, yes your right we all sings songs and some we sing are the same ones you hear at different stadiums along with the chants BUT im talking about the clubs own anthem here which FC fans sing wherever they go dating back years to the Boulevard,its there thing, an original tune with lyrics they slightly changed and even if youve pinched there song and put in different words of all the millions of songs in the world, again i say havent you out of all those the imagination to find one of your own.Sad lot arent you. Come on Wigan do the job today.

Judging by his limited vocabulary and childish remarks, yes he is. Think he needs a couple of pies.

It gets better, if you look at his post history its very clear hes not a wigan fan but has ended every post on this thread trying to make out he is one which is one the sadist little tricks ive seen on here, try to get wigan and cas fans arguing for presumably, his amusement.

So 12 may be generous, seems more like a nine year old to me.

Sad, really. Evidently has nothing better to do.

Let's forget about Wigan for a second...

How many clubs have their own anthem that hasn't been stolen from somewhere? In fact, how many clubs have their own anthem?

Hull - Old Faithful
Hull KR - Red Red Robin (used by many football teams, such as Bristol City)
Leeds - Marching On Together (stolen from Leeds United)
Salford - Oh When The Reds (just "Oh When The Saints" sung slowly and used by EVERY club at some point).
St Helens - Oh When The Saints (again, used by everybody, but I notice they've stolen the start of Old Faithful and now sing it slowly like Salford).
Bradford - Woolly Bully (stolen from Chicago Bulls)
Huddersfield - Falling In Love With You (sung by various football teams, including Hull City).

Do the other clubs even have an anthem?! What actually is Wigan's?!

At the end of the day, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

It seems not many people know Old Faithful was actually number 1 in the charts when it was first sung by a Hull fan too

Not that I give a stuff about chants but... Of all teams, it's a Wigan fan who complains because some other fans just took something from another club and used it themselves.

Perhaps this irony needs a little seasoning...? Oh no, it's delicious as it stands. Mmmmm....

There weren't any charts in 1936, it was a song from a film which sold a few copies of sheet music for a sing song round the piano! ‘Old Faithful’ though is different to most other football and rugby songs because its an otherwise little known popular cowboy song, sung in the mid thirties by Gene Autrey to his horse.
There is no mention of Hull, our ground or even our nickname in it and so as an adopted song that has lasted for 80 odd years it is very special. In fact, It is said that it was first sung by a single voice in the threepenny Stand at the Boulevard and then taken up by the crowd, in a game against Wigan in1936 and was directed to our most faithful of servants and absolute icon of the game Joe Oliver. Only Hull and Hunslet had songs back then and Hunslets about a group of sea farers (I think it was) has long since dissapeared. Whether this is true we will probably never know, but somehow at the next game it was sung again and the rest is history. If you use it I see it as flattery really because that what imitating someone or something is. Whether we win or lose You'll hear it sung properly on Sunday!

I remember something about it on Look North, wasn't it something to do with Oliver hardly missed a goal kick which is what prompted the lone bloke to sing it?

The story goes that it w as first sung at a Championship semi final game at the Boulevard on 2nd May 1936 against Wigan which we won 13-2. Cheered on by 26,000 odd fans Joe scored a try and kicked two goals in that performance and it is said as he walked back from scoring the try the song was struck up. He scored two tries and 5 goals in the final too when we beat Widnes. He was renowned as you say for being a real dead eye when converting tries and missed few conversions. He also scored tries from all over the pitch and had the nick name of 'Give it to' Joe for a long while.Oliver was a prolific points scorer for HUll Fc and his career spanned 1928-1945 although he missed a few years in the war and had a couple of seasons at Craven Park (but we'll gloss over that).. He scored 156 tries and 687 goals in an amazing 426 appearances for the Club in 12 seasons. He played an additional 100 games for Huddersfiled and 40 odd for Batley before we signed him too! Thats over 560 games!!! I'm a blo*dy anarach when I get going!

Its a song f.f.s.
As far as I know F.C. havn`t got copyright on the tune.
A bit like
"Who are ya?"
"What the ******* **** is that?"
and "We can see you sneaking out."

"We're Leeds Rhino's" (or "we hate Rhino's", as sang by most other clubs

), is a variation on "Liv-er-pool".

Not going to get upset by any Cas fans using our tune, it's not like you are dissing Hull with it.

As for Wigan, to my knowledge they only have one song and it has only one word in it, 'Wigan'. This is only sung when they are leading by 30+ points.



The Hull fans are looking forward to their trip to Cas on Sunday, it's their favourite away ground, good fans, good atmosphere and close to the pitch.

Must admit that I do like the one Saints sing.....the one about nights out in St Helens, got something about a fish/curry split in it lol

i prefer the one fc fans sing to saints fans when we beat them!

Since we 1st played you again in 2005 i have been in the bootroom every time with loads of Rovers, i would say that song is silly on all levels, but each to there own

I would say you're being a bit literal...I guess the intention is to emphasize the fact that we're in different leagues (for now). Anyway what do you expect from football/rugby songs....Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan?

Smoking is not good for Monkeys , watch the Hangover 2 to see .

That's a great song.

But again, stolen. Other clubs/sports use it such as Sheffield United FC

I do seem to remember us singing Hull's version of 'Old Faithful' at Huddersfield the year Hull nearly went down.

From memory we had to beat Huddersfield for Hull to stay up - then Hull had their merger and a new stadium and it seems to have been onwards and upwards for them, and I don't begrudge em one bit!

nah , cheeky girls - touch my bum ,

thats a great song
