WalterPlinge Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hope every club in the league downloads the King's Lynn anthem and plays it when the Stars come visiting. Should demoralise the KL riders. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of an anthem/chant is a good one there is no doubt, this one hasn't gone down so well on the net, I hope something good comes out of it, that's all. We must all want that for 'our' club eh.... As for Haza, he's just a wind up, I'm not biting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micman Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Somebody sent me the link to this 'anthem' and I honestly thought April 1st had come early! Seriously guys, I'm halfway across the world and speedway people I know here have tears running down their legs laughing so much!Whoever thought this was a great way to inspire/motivate/put the fear into the opposition needs to reconsider when their meds kick in! Yes, I know it's nothing to do with me, I'm long retired from speedway and live in Aus but I still care about the club where I spent many a happy evening on the mic from way back in 1988.Hell we go rid of the war crys in 1990 (sorry Wild Wayne and Mother T!) because they were old hat . . .let along a choral extravaganza. Back in the days of the PL when the club were feared home and away it was 'Welcome to the jungle' that became the parade truck theme tune and even that sounds dated now so, for what it's worth, whoever came up with this idea. . .maybe ask the paying public for once - or as that just stating the blindingly obvious? Wishing everyone a safe and successful season ahead. . . now where did I put my Vera Lynn records???? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing everyone a safe and successful season ahead. . . now where did I put my Vera Lynn records???? I feel sorry for any new promotion team at Lynn, as I think it is hard to meet the expectations of fans who supported the club during that era... and for good reason. The parade track rolling out to the intro of 'welcome to the jungle' always made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, and everyone involved (from fans to riders) were emotionally immersed in the club. 9 titles in 4 years (from memory) is as good as it gets and shows what the club was all about back then. Unfortunately since then the club has lost yourself, Rob Lyon and me and personally I do not believe any have been appropriately replaced... although not through lack of trying as I did recently read a job advertisement for a centre green announcer who must like wearing illuminus shell suits 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere that we all generate in that amazing era was 2nd to none and one of the best times I can remember in speedway. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmosphere at a high octane, adrenaline fuelled sporting event? No doubt infused by fans' noise and engagement to what they are watching? Now that there is a 'novel' idea..... Wonder if it will ever catch on? Who knows, if it does, maybe some fans would go back the next time to sample some more of the same?.... Nah... What am I thinking?....

semion Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) JC, Micman I can feel the man love coming through. You are of course right. The bar was set back then. Sadly the standard has fallen way below that level, but of course, as always. Buster knows best. Still here we are new year, a new kid ( well You know what I mean) on the block. Hopes are high. Can They deliver..... Over to you Buster its time to walk the walk. Edited March 20, 2018 by semion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'd love nothing more than singing on the terraces but never ever ask anyone from Norfolk to think up a chant. Just look at Norwich City, they love 'On The Ball City'. I can't think of a more dreary football chant anywhere in the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go to Anfield, nobody sings 'you'll never walk alone' louder than I. With 50,000 fans singing, it makes my hair stand on end, and I'm only a supporter. Imagine what that must do for the players.... I'm all for verbal chorus for the fans to cheer. But surely in this day and age we could have something more modern than that new anthem . I'd rather we went back to 1.4.2.4 who the hell R we 4. we use to sing at the Firs 50 odd years ago..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
