'Keep right on' was sung when I started following Leeds back in the late 60's

What about 'Always look on the bright side'

Were you on your own? I've been following years throughout that timeframe and have never heard it sung by Leeds fans.

Never been much into the singing myself at games and with my voice, that's probably for the best.

I'm with you on that one, stood in the southstand from the mid to late 60s onwards and never heard it sung in there, maybe it was an old fogey north stand thing ?

I know that Gary Hetherington thinks it would be a wonderful idea for the song to ressurected as a form of pre match sing-a-long entertainment but frankly its one of his more barmy ideas, as I've said many times before, its a dirge.

I've been in the Southstand for most games since I think the 85/86 season, and also dont recall it being sung, so I'm certain it wasnt a regular thing.

On another nostalgic note, as a kid, I loved collecting the player cards from the bobbies in the ground, this is also something I think should be re-introduced for a few benefits. Gives the kids something extra to look forward to, and with a bit of luck, might improve the kids relationships/attitudes towards the Police (Although thats probably a bit deep). But I remember as a kid, it was something I loved doing, although I was always nervous speaking to the police.

I know it has been mentioned on another thread recently, but I would love to see a 'Heritage' round of superleague - similar to the NRL. Where everything traditional is recognised, old kits, old players, old Nicknames, old traditions... etc

"Sponsored by British Gas"

I used to take a friend and his dad to the ground at that time and I didn't know but his dad (who was in his 70s then) used to queue up with all the kids in front of a copper to get his player cards for that day, he collected enough to have two complete sets at the end of the season and again without me knowing he entered his own grandson's and my eldest daughter's (who was then under 2 years old) name into the end of season British Gas draw for a kids "meet the players" evening - and yes, my daughter's name was drawn out, I took her, she hadn't a clue where she was or what was going on

Worse than that none of the players could be d either (this would be 89 or 90), they were over an hour late turning up, most of them went straight to the bar and huddled together for a couple of drinks and then cleared off to a pub somewhere while someone with a microphone tried desperately to get some of them to be interviewed by the couple of dozen "prizewinners" who were there - the only ones who spent some time with the kids were Colin Maskill and Roy Powell, the rest of them earned a fat zero on my respect-o-meter that night.

"Loiners Give us a wave, Loiners Loiners Give us a wave" - Sang to the players upon their entry to the field, home and away and they always waved.

"From the green green grass of Headingley, to the heart of Sicily
We'll sing sing sing for the Loiners, until we win the Rugby League
Ta-ra with Bradford Northern
Ta-ra with Trinity
We'll sing sing sing for the Loiners, until we win the Rugby League...
The Loiners - clap clap clap
The Loiners - clap clap clap"

"Dougie Laughton's Barmy Army (sang by one side of the crowd)
Dougie Laughton's Barmy Army (repeated by the other side)
and repeated continously, on some occasions even sang for 10 minutes.

"I sang for the Loiners when the skies turned black,
it's hard to sing with a heifer (?) on your back,
they buried my body and i thought i'd gone,
But i am a Loiner and still sang on..

Sing, Sing, Wherever you may be,
We are the Leeds RLFC,
and we'll lead you all whever you may be,
We'll lead you all to Wem-ber-lee"

Ah the Laughton era....

'We're all on the march with Dougies army.... We're all off to Wemb-er-leee...
And we're gonna shake em up, when we win the challenge cup coz Leeds are the greatest rugby team.......' And repeat....

There was one game at Thrum Hall (ask your parents, kids) when it just seemed to last for the whole second half. I remember other people around us asking us to stop and it just spurring us on.

Haha I can remember it being like that a few times. In the particularly poor games, sometimes even a try wouldnt interupt it. Brilliant times, even though we were massive under achievers with that team, some great days out, and some great trips to central park.

IIRC it was sang all the way throught half time @ Central Park during the Offiah ten try game. When that massive blue & amber flag was unravelled there'd always be a bit of a reaction. I wonder what happened to the flag, it was brought out at a home game once and seemed to reach from the bottom of the South Stand to the top.

The South Stand is certainly a different place nowaways, I blame the band!

There were some great days out, for me at times it was more about the terrace experience than the game itself. Its funny, at the away games like Salford, Cas, Halifax we'd always stand at the side. i can't imagine the Salford fans being to happy when 50% of the fans in their side terrace were the singing Leeds fans. Central Park was always my favourite, indeed, i think I was first served for beer @ the bar at the end of their main stand.

It wasn't a song exactly, but I'm sure the "Fox Out" chant could be up for an adapted comeback.

"Green, green grass of Headingley" was always my favourite. Brian Mac might like it too given it's based on the (US) Marines Hymn.

Doesnt sound as though there will be enough of you to make a noise. very poor ticket sales. You couldnt even sell you allocation for the semi final only 25 miles away. I think you have all made the right decision me thinks a good hiding coming to you from Wigan.

They say losing in the semi-final is the worst feeling in sport.

Kevin Iro's debut - vs Widnes IIRC on a Friday night at Headingley - That's the only time I can recall the S Stand actually singing all the way through half time. I guess we thought it was the start of something big
