Been thinking about our history and great players seems to work well for our scouse friends from football what do you all think :-

All round the fields of Hilton Park,
Where once we watched the King Woody play,
and could he play!
Dessie Drummond on the wing,
We had dreams and songs to sing,
Of the glory round the fields of Hilton Park.

A bit less controversial than the flute song???

What about us all whistling ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST

Scousers, you are having a laugh Ste. I'd rather have my scrotum nailed to the floorboards.

I like it. Like you, I think there's a need to move away from the flute song and create a club anthem.

Fairly sure that could be arranged....

I don,t dislike anyone that much Maurice mind you I,m not that brave but this suggestion might do a lot worse than bite you on the bum.

I seem to recall a similar version being sung a few years ago (Batley away when we won the league rings a bell?), though I thought it was "where we once watched a young Woody play" and "we had Dessie on the wing".

Bring me sunshine , bring me try's

We are the Leythers , we 8 the pies

In our now ground where we play

Bring us lots of happy days

da da da da da da da , i've forgotten the rest

GAAAAZZZ

Doesn't quite have the ring to it that Liverpool's "Fields of Anfield Road" does but a nice effort

We love you Gateshead we do
We love you Gateshead we do
We love you Gateshead we do
Oh Gateshead we love you

Mixed opinions,

but the key is to move away from our scouser friends and make it our anthem!! I will leave Matt and the gang to the tunes but worth considering.

Id rather sing nothing than a sectarian song that continually gets us bad publicity and the RFL will hardly need any excuses to keep us out!

Anything is better than any reference to these words

Which is a doctored version of " The fields of Athenry" ..........

Maybe we're back to: To the tune of ''What shall we do with the druken sailor''

Lobby on draught with a beetroot chaser
Lobby on draught with a beetroot chaser

Lobby on draught with a beetroot chaser
Proud to be a Leyther

Small Faces - Sha La La La LEIGH - (60's hit)

C'mon Matt - I know it's before your time but have a listen & maybe someone could come up with some appropriate lyrics. The chorus is ready made.

=redPicked her up on a Friday night
Sha la la la lee, yeah
I knew everything gonna be alright
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

I asked her 'where do you wanna go?'
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Well we went someplace, I don't know
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

I held her close and I asked her if she was gonna be my baby
It felt so good when she answered me
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Oh yeh, oh yeh, oh yeh

She looked good and she moved so fine
Sha la la la lee, yeh
And all the guys knew she was mine
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

I held her close and I asked her again if she was gonna be my baby
It felt so good when she answered me
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Oh yeh, oh yeh, oh yeh

Wanna know how my story ends?
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Well we invited just a few close friends
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee

Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee

Sha la la la la la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la la la la la lee

Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee

I was at a wake yesterday afternoon in Latchford and a lady from Warrington got up after everyone had had a few drinks and did the Wigan Haka. It was hilarious and I may perform it next time I am in Leigh.

Come on wednesday night.
See Ian Millward, the players, the new shirt and now Frankb doing the Wigan Haka.
Can't wait.

There you go Frank - how to get in without a ticket - 'Guest Entertainer'

do you not think its a bit erm.... long?

I've post this before, (did no good like

) last few lines need tweaking, someone suggested change it to rape and pledge

and then changed it to something else but I can't remember who or what



Is this the way to Amarillo (LSV)?

Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la

When the day is dawning,
On a Leythers Sunday Morning
How I long to be there
With the team who plays for me there
Every lonely city
Where I hang my hat
Ain’t as half as pretty,
As where the Leythers at

Is this the way to Leigh Sports village?
Every night I’ve been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of our village
And the team who plays me
Show me the way to Leigh Sports Village
We’ll have you weeping like a willow
Crying over our Village
And the team that plays for me

Sha la la la la la la – Leigh
Sha la la la la la la – Leigh
Sha la la la la la la

5 years ago maybe, but the (original) song has been done to death, glow

I did say I'd posted it before,





How about the Floyd one then? or the Proclaimers 500 miles? sure they sing "Im a Leyther, I'm a Leyther, nah, nah, nah, nah, nar, nar,"

Flute song alternate

When i was young i had some sense
I bought a flute for twenty pense
The only tune that i could play
was we are Leigh Rugby
And we're here to stay

nananana Leigh etc...

Thats the true Leyther song for me class

Surely the point is to move away from The Flute Song.........whenever anyone tried to sing your version, the 'lunatic fringe' would sing the old lyrics, and we'd be back to square one - painted in a bad light by opposition fans, and the RFL!!

I've kind of lost touch with 'The Hit Parade' these days!! (Radio5 or Radio Manchester when I'm in the car most of the time!) Is there not some catchy, anthemic song currently riding high in the charts that could be adapted?? I suppose the real trick is to find a tune that no other fans use, and make it synonymous (sp?) with Leigh.
