Great original, linked to a successful period for the club, would sound brilliant with 50000 singing in unison!
I’m in!!

It’s got big association with us after the ‘84 Cup Final of course and it always got blared out in the likes of The Winslow and other EFC pubs after matches.
That song doesn’t seem to have made its way across into the stadium and onto the terraces though.
Totally agree re: Hibs adopting “Sunshine On Leith”. That’s unsurpassed when they’re all in unison singing that. Superb.
Would be great if we had “our” anthem for sure.
The club could help with growing one into everyone’s conscious on match day inside the ground given it sounds like a mini DJ set before every home game now :D Previous Message
Flower of Scotland makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, every time and whether its the Football or the Rugby on TV I'll always pause and take it in.
Sunshine on leith when Hibs do well is the same and more recently, Arsenal's North London Forever.
Something about a full stadium belting those out that just gets to me, I get the same buzz from the siren and the start of Z-Cars but I'd love us to have a similar song to those above that have more raw emotion to them.
Spirit of the blues is fun and sounds brilliant when its at full volume but those other types of song just get me.
Maybe I'm just getting more sentimental and emotional in my old age!
