Rumours and Stuff

A bit of tradition here and there is good, and I think the song should be kept the same. West Ham use "Bubbles" written in the early 1900's. Liverpool use "You'll never walk alone" written in the 60's.

The club just has to market it better, rather than just having it as an afterthought when we win. We raise our voices to the sky and glorify the Eels.

As a young person I like the song.

A change to our theme song to something more modern would be great and if it coincided with a new modern stadium, even better. One problem we have though is that "Eels" don't feature in too many rock songs suitable to rev up a 30,000 seat stadium. The Dragons did well to use the Hurricane Katrina inspired "The Saints Are Coming" from U2 for a while, but I imagine the royalties would be a killer.

Pretty sure the squad can be changed prior to pre season, I would imagine the dogs named Klemmer? What’s his chance of staying though..
That would mean if mennings or others are traded then the squad could look different

If you force some merkin out you’ll have to pay at least some of his salary as part of the agreement. That payout will count in your top 30, assuming it's more than $72500.

I have had some lengthy discussions with people in the club regarding improvements to our game day experience in order to attract a younger crowd and these have included music, live bands, fireworks, etc. Who knows what will happen next year.

I’d take having a team that turns up for 80 mins as my first step to improving my game day experience. It is however, good to hear that the club will talk on these things.

What do they say "you can please some of the people some of the time " etc. I would have thought a top notch CEO could manage a few jobs at the same time. Maybe not.
"Click go the shears boys, click, click, click".

Yeah I reckon he could to and I am sure there are plenty for him to handle without worrying about a song

It's the victory song... When else would we play it?

The one with Jon English is the one they play at other times, which I quite like. The "Click goes the shears" song is just for post game victory, like most other clubs have.
