I feel it would be good if we had a chant for tomorrows gathering! In fact, it doesn't have to be just one, it could be a couple. We need to keep them simple of course, so everyone can pick up on them quickly.

I feel it needs to be about jobs, growth, sport and this being 'our' city. I think it should avoid being too Wakefield Trinity orientated but equally, there is nothing wrong with a few actual Wakefield Trinity chants being thrown in there as well.

So, thinking caps on and see you all tomorrow at Wakefield Town Hall, 9am. The weather is supposed to be sunny but cold, so wrap up warm and lets show the inspector how much this mean to our City!

How about:
What do we want? A modern sports stadia and sporting facilities for the district of wakefieild suitable for the 21st century, a chance of some employment and economic re-growth, common sense to prevail, not being under the thumb of our greedy neighbour Leeds who want all the development for themselves, and a lasting legacy for all the people of wakefield for years to come.
When do we want it? Now!!!!

Don't forget to mention the NIMBY's in there as well.

feel free to add if you like, i didn't want it to be too long.

Catchy!

Jobs for us,
Sport for all,
Wakey Council passed it all,
When a fat man with a plan,
Went and dropped a ball,
Leeds council should feck off home.

To the tune of Knick Knack Paddy Whack

I prefer mine!

How about:

Wakey need a stadium
I need a job
Leeds Council can suck my ......

Fill in the blank as appropriate

Jobs for all!
Sport for all!
LCC can't have it all!
(repeat)

I think thats more the thing!

give us a stadium or we will wreck the joint

to the tune of mygirl

To the tune of sweet Molly Malone:

[iIn Wakefields fair city
Where Newmarkets not pretty
We need these new jobs so Leeds leave us alone
With the jobs market fallow
And the NIMBY's minds narrow
Singing Wakefield, Wakefield then just watch us go[/i

To the tune of sleepy Genie

[iLet us build in Wakefield
Think what it would mean
To those who need employment
And our superleague team[/i

Build us our home
Build us our hooooome
Balls to the water voles
Just build us our hoome!

(sloop john b)

Somewhere to work
somewhere to play
So why dont Leeds council
Just.....go away

Followed by we love you wakefield

Or

Nowhere to work
nowhere to play
Please vote yes
And we'll all go away

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

Who's the bear that you all know, Yogi Yogi........

A festive one

[iOh come Wakefields faithful
Till we have been triumphant
And built our new stadium
In your back yard

Come and support it
Building on an old pit

Oh come on let us build it
Oh come on let us build it
Oh come on let us build it

IN YOUR BACK YARD!
[/i

Singing in the rain may be a start.

If you want Newmarket clap your hands
If you want Newmarket clap your hands

If you want Newmarket
Want Newmarket
If you want Newmarket clap your hands

You look in the dustbin for something to eat, you find a dead rat and think it's a treat.....

How about that well known "green" song by Ian Campbell (aka ICE MC) - Look after nature:-


Cu dem no seh dem a chop down tree
di tree dem serve fi di human to breath
di way dem treat nature is a idiocy
dash weh glass bokkle you deh a country
no badda nasty unu better clean
look after nature and keep it green
no badda nasty unu better clean
look after nature an do mek it bleed

Roughly translated as:

I'm shatting myself that you will build
A stadium for trin and the tiger will be killed
Cas are up the creek, Wrighty sold us a load
Now we're expecting trips to Post Office Rd
don't get angry at me, please take pity
I'm a yokel from Cas, a small town in your City

Like it.
