A New Terrace Anthem! The Fields of Villa Park - WITH DESTRUCTION POLL!

[WittonLaneLion]

What is everyone’s thoughts on the below, taken from The Fields of Athenry...

Outside the Holte End,
I heard a Villain calling,
Saunders they have taken you away,
But you left a great eleven,
Before we went to Heaven,
Now there’s glory round the Fields of Villa Park,

All round the Fields of Villa Park,
Where once we watched Shaw and Cowans play,
Tony Morley on the wing,
We had dreams and songs to sing,
Of the Glory around Villa Park,

All round the Fields of Villa Park,
Where we once watched Shaw and Cowans play,
Tony Morley on the wing,
We had dreams and songs to sing,
Of the glory around Villa Park.

Peoples thoughts??

From a reputational point of view, it is an absolute no.

[Ger Regan]

It's a hard no for me, clive.

[Brassneck]

Is it too much of a challenge for us to simply come out with something original?

[Three Spires Villa]

Sorry, no.

[UK Redsox]

No, and can we scrap the Allez dirge as well

[wince]

I don’t like the Allez allez one either. It is rather annoying but I’m rather grumpy!

[cdbearsfan]

I can live with the Allez Allez song as so many clubs sing a variation of it, it has become generic. I'm not too keen on going full Liverpool though, thanks. It's a no from me.

When did Saunders die?

When did Saunders die?

That occurred to me, thought I'd missed something for a minute.

For what it's worth, the Liverpool version is chronic and doesn't scan, I've always loathed it. Conversely, I love the original song but I'm not sure so sure everyone that follows us will share that view.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of a villa version at all, considering the context of the original song.

I'm with you, Ger.

where does it say he died? We gone to heaven would relate to villa winning European cup....
It was only a thought, cos I am bored of the same old stuff, we need new songs...

[pauliewalnuts]

That is mind-bendingly cringe-making.

So that's a no from me.
