Thanks for posting this @tiger_one.
You and England have got my interest in Soccer going again.
I went to quite a few games when South Coast United, Apia, St George Budapest, Hakoah etc were around.
I even went to a Aust V Croatia ??? World Cup Qualifier played at the old Sydney Sports Ground.
They were GREAT days.
A mate of mine at the time could have gone on to play for Aust as goal keeper, but even though he was a good guy he was also stupid.
He had long hair and dabbled in drugs.
He was keeping the bloke that did become the Aust goalkeeper out of 1st grade, cant remember his name though.
My mate refused to get his hair cut, coaches orders, was dropped and that was the end of what could and should have been a great career for Australia.
Great to read your post champion @magpie1963 - my eldest son was in the UK a few years back and all his friends there were Tottenham Spurs fans, so we changed as a family from general fans to (sort of) rusted on Spurs fans back here in Oz (only fair since I reared everyone to be Magpies - then Wests Tigers hahaha).
There dasus I really like the EPL and the generally attacking style of footy.
I even spend a bit of time doing the fantasy comps as I just like watching the progress of all the players.
But getting back to your post, the football support overseas is addictive.
I love the singing, the chanting and the complete immersion - sport is a great balance for life generally.
I certainly agree :100: re the singing and chanting @tiger_one.
If we could get a responsible mob to get that started with Wests Tigers, that would be something unique and positive for Our Club that could get more people interested in attending games regularly.
And it sounds like You may be the guy to at least give some tips in that regard.
One of the Wiggles is a supporter and may be interested in writing some quality stuff for Us.
I wonder if @cochise could be persuaded to 'Ambush' him.
And in finishing, I love the Viking Clap and horn the Raiders have, being something every Raiders fan can enjoy.
The club actually tried in in think 2018 to have a fan engagement song written by the Wiggles but is wasn't well received. I am actually in the process of contacting Anthony Field to see if we can get him as a guest for one of out Ambush events.

Go You good thing @cochise, go get him.
I really like it.
It's a feel good, easy to sing along to song, but maybe needs to be more hard hitting/aggressive sounding, just a though as I know nothing about music.
Still there's no reason why this couldn't be used with a few words obliterated.
It wasn't popular at all
Jimmy Barnes is a WT's fan ...surely he and Fields /Cockroaches can put something out there .....
You can't have Barnesy doing it the players will think it's Madge screaming at them.
