Agree very much with Devonian, the music is awful, yes I know some people like it, but I prefer to let the crowd create the noise, after we score a try it's a competition between the crowds chants and music.
I don't particularly like the liquidator song either and don't think it adds anything at all, not the clubs doing but I much prefer when teams ran out onto the field separately to either cheers or boos which notched the atmosphere up not this football style of walking out slowly together and lining up staring into space for 2 minutes.
And as a singer at the back, I can assure you that most of us are respectful towards the opposition although we do our best to put then off during a game.

Huddersfield Giants - "We know our place":



Quote: meast "Agree very much with Devonian, the music is awful, yes I know some people like it, but I prefer to let the crowd create the noise, after we score a try it's a competition between the crowds chants and music.

The Liquidator song is rubbish. It doesn't mean anything.

The club needs to understand that the history is there and it's something that they can tap into and sell.

Here's the music to the original club song. I'm not too good at reading music, but I think I have an idea how it must go.

rlhttps://www.huddersfieldrlheritage.co.uk/Documents/Souvenir%20Brochures/Hurrah%20For%20The%20Claret%20&%20Gold.pdfrl

And here's the official song of the Adelaide Crows AFL team

rlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v

My suggestion would be to record "Hurrah for the Claret and Gold" in the same style as the Crows song - and play that when they come out.

If you've listened to the Crows song, you're probably thinking that would be rubbish. But trust me, I've watched the Crows and it's brilliant.


And here's the legendary Harry Caray singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the seventh innings stretch at the Chicago Cubs.

rlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v


This is the sort of quirk and tradition that gives people a feeling of connection to the club and the traditions of the club in a way that playing something generic like The Liquidator can't.


If you played Hurrah for the Claret and Gold at the start, then people's first impression would be to laugh and say it's crap. Within a few matches they'd be singing along. After a couple of seasons it would be such an integral part of the whole thing it would seem like it was always the way it was. That's how you build a connection up between the club and the people who support the club.

Didn't they try the "hurrah for the claret and gold" thing a few years back?
I remember something on here about it.

DON'T DIE WITH THE MUSIC IN YOU:13072.gif



So OK we don't like the Liquidator - but agree in as much as if we are going to have music to welcome players to the field then it should be something that the fans can sing along to. Heard the Hurrah for the C&G before and whilst very old fashioned is a club song. Perhaps a remix?
Just another idea - at one time they played The Great Escape theme during a season I seem to recall. Now that is damn catchy and easy to chant to? Perhaps apt given our last season?

The Crows have the advantage that their song is a rousing tune

If we had a song using Halls of Montezuma as a basis isn't a bad plan

As some have pointed out many of our fans like to spread out. We know that because at the moment they have the choice of cramming themselves into the middle or spreading out and many go for the second option. If we don't allow them to do that are we risking losing even more fans? BTW I sit close to the middle so personally I'm not bothered either way.

It`s nice to have a spare seat when your pockets are full with phones and wallets and keys, it saves squashing them into the person next to you.

Yet their brave bid came to a stunning end when Cudjoe stepped out of the defensive line to intercept a pass and then run away for a 90-metre effort. (Times 2) Roses are red Violets are purple The Giants are sweeter than Maple Surple.:

If i was to marry, i dont know if i ought to, if i would, if i should , i'd marry a Prop's daughter, she'd go down, i'd go down, we'd all go down together, we'd be alright in the middle of the night going down together!!:icons42da_files/5417-2890lipst1ck_d0rk-msnicons.jpg



a046.gif Looking at the pathetic arguing with each other on some of the Giants posts think its wise to keep our fans well away from each other rather than move em closer together!!!! a026.gif
