This is at the start of the game, naturally. It's all standing for as long as they keep playing the song at the end!
    I'm superstitious and won't sing the song before the end of the game. I have this horrblw feeling if I sing it before the game that we will lose.

      You aren't the only one. To sing it before the end is hubris and inviting the wrath from above. As bad as Joffa putting the jacket on too soon.
      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

        Isn't that funny. I think if I'm not in my seat singing the song when the boys run out we will lose!

          I sometimes find myself singing "shake down the thunder from their thighs".

            This thread does serve very well as a boredom buster, does slow down the fingernail biting, and is very funny. You are all hilarious about this.
            I say leave "the name" as is. It has a certain mystery to it.

              Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                Must be a girl thing Lucky cause I'm exactly the same. On a couple of occasions I've been caught out off at the shop or toilet or something and my heart fills with dread cause I 'm certain I've jinxed them!

                  Damn, I am never going to be able to sing it other than Shake down the thunder from their thighs ever again!

                  Mind you Benny's thighs are worth singing about; oh bugger it, lets just sing whatever words we want to just not before the game starts, as we may jinx everything, make sure you have your lucky ring, scarf, knickers, left boot on first, throw up in the race, moments and make SURE you are in your seat prior to start of game (I think I would doie if I wasn't in my seat), start a whooooaaaaah! at the first bounce, finishing off with air banjo. Sorted?

                    Ha - and I think if I don't sing it, the boys will think we don't care, and have a bad day...

                      And I try really hard not to listen to the other club's song.

                              Not for IPhone! Next they'll cut out the chardonnay and stop game day bus services to Balmain.

                                What other club ..... Well, always be respectful of other people's views but hope they are the ones leaving before our club song is played at the end of the game
