    Bring THE Footscray Football Club song back

    With the events of yesterday and thoughts of how to 'improve the match day experience' (urrgggh) for Footscray games next year, i think it's time to bring back the definitive version of our song.

    That's right folks; From the early 70's it's the Fabulous Fable Singers. Check it out and tell me this doesn't ROCK!!!




    Oh and it starts about a minute in... take it away Teddy...

      "we will come out smiling if we win or lose"

      make up your own mind on that line

          Fantastic. It might be some novelty value.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Having checked it out, can safely say that it does not, in any shape or form, rock.

              Lord no.

              Smiling of we win or lose! Made old Footscray's name! None of these are positives.

              We need to scrap our song completely and start again, there's so many patches on it that is just a mess.

                They definitely took the opportunity to upgrade the original one when the name change came in
                If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                  Big NO from me, never smiled when we lost and never will.

                      No way.

                      Change the song to Enter Sandman and only play at night so we can shut out the lights for maximum effect when we run out.

                        Re: Bring THE Footscray Football Club song back

                        I propose we change our theme song to this:



                        How good would it sound at the start of a home game when our fans shout out in unison to the opposition "You've got no fear of the underdog, that's why you will not survive!". At the very least we should use this in a similar way to how Port are using 'Never Tear Us Apart' at the start of their home games.
                        "Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"

                          The way I interpret that line: Sportsmanship. It's a shame the line is gone, really.

                            It was ok in the days when Sportsmanship existed, but not any more, that is long gone.

                            If we had of won 20 premierships I would have kept it.

                              "Think they know the game" isn't sporting
