  1. Of the guys on the list, is everyone singing from the same hymn sheet? ie. New, non-offensive, Rangers words.
  2. What we need is to realise that WHATEVER version of TBB we go for, the same haters who've managed to maintain a fiction that our club had died in the MSM for so long, will be all over this chant making a mile out of every inch they can get. TWO things are non-negotiable in order to retain the best bit of the chant: the atmosphere it generated. 1. The tune. 2. The line "Hullo Hullo we are the X boys Hullo Hullo ul know us by our noise The rest is peripheral to the chant and must be tailored to bring: a. popularity/legitimacy with the fans b. minimal hassle towards the club/bad publicity As long as these principles are kept at the centre of this thing, I believe it can work with the right support (TBO and UBs backing is essential)
  3. Delighted this finally looks like happening. Back in the day, I can recall conversations with fans of other clubs (english) saying.."why don't you just change that line to something different?" It sounds so simple, but the reality is a little more complicated. I think our support has shown - with songs like 4 men had a dream - that singing about Rangers is no poor cousin to the old anthems that were a product of the times to a great extent. Do it properly - don't waste time clinging to old words when it was always the Hullo Hullo roar that made the chant what it was: the best. And let the fans vote - that way this will be a anthem from the fans, for the fans. An old anthem, with a 21st century Rangers makeover. Can't wait to hear it again.
  4. Spot on mate. The bottom line is we need the Hullo Hullo roar back, and only new words will do it. For atmosphere, intimidation, sheer volume - no chant came near it and to leave it consigned to the history books for the sake of an incidental line or two cannot be the Rangers way
  5. Don't understand why we need to cling to "up to our knees"/threatening death without surrendering etc...? The million dollar question: What was the biggest factor in making the chant the greatest terrace anthem around? 1. The deafening roar of Hullo Hullo you could put your body and soul into and shook whatever stadium to the foundations or 2. That line mumbled between choruses as you got your breath back Watch that Hampden video when the entire stand is rocking to TBB. If the fans were singing something different to the f blood line, I'm damned if you could even tell the difference.
  6. Any news on whether TBO/UB are on board with this? Without their support this is impossible.
  7. Present Bears with 3 choices: 1. Never sing The Hullo Hullo chant again - admit defeat in losing our trademark roar. 2. Bring back the old version and risk arrest for the individual, tarring and feathering for the club 3. Help bring about a new RANGERS worded chant, that retains the roar that made TBB so special Now if you think the majority of Rangers fans are happy kowtowing to the haters, you'll think option 1 will win through. If you think the majority of Rangers fans are stupid, you'll think option 2 will win through. If you think the majority of Rangers fans are neither, you SHOULD be confident that option 3 is worth a damn good shot Ask yourself the question. Have faith in your fellow Bears.
  8. Obviously the date would need changing but other than this, I think it could be dusted off again :-)
  9. I thought the branding on this was pretty good - welcome to use it again! http://savetheroar.blogspot.co.uk/ I got 270 odd votes on FF http://forum.followfollow.com/showthread.php?t=754432 and another 70 odd on here http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=183903&st=20
  10. Posted 07 May 2009 - 10:20 AM Talk is cheap - Its time for action on this. We need our favourite roar back again, and what better time than drowning out YNWA on saturday! I've not got a ticket for the game, but im travelling a long way to come to Ibrox before the match. I will be (unless i see sense beforehand!) dishing out small flyers to fans with the following message: QUOTE WE ALL WANT THE ROAR OF THE BILLY BOYS BACK NONE OF US WANT TROUBLE FOR THE CLUB OR OURSELVES THE ONLY SOLUTION RANGERS WORDS, TO A RANGERS SONG. An online poll of Rangers fans voted for the following words: HUUUUULLO! HUUUUULLO! WE ARE THE RANGERS BOYS! HUUUUULLO! HUUUUULLO! YOU’LL KNOW US BY OUR NOISE! …………………… FOR WE ARE THE BRIGTON DERRY BOYS! BE WARNED: THE “OLD” WORDS REMAIN BANNED AND SHOULD NOT BE SUNG – YOU RISK TROUBLE FOR THE CLUB AND YOURSELF. SING RANGERS WORDS, TO THE GREATEST RANGERS SONG, AND WE CAN BRING BACK THE ROAR FOR GOOD! I will choose the words based on the results of the poll above. I have deliberately chosen words which will not incriminate the singer - nothing overtly offensive, sectarian etc... purely Rangers words. If anyone is foolish enough to wish to sing the old banned words, thats their choice but they risk trouble for themselves as well as jeopardising the spirit of the old thing - to return the famous roar for good whilst keeping the club out of trouble. Ill be posting a wee link hopefully to a finished "flyer" once im satisfied the poll is closed. The flyers were actually printed, but a lack of man power made it impossible to distribute. It proves the importance of getting TBO/UB on board. I can remember showing one to a Copper on the day near the ground. He looked at it and said "nothing wrong with that". The words on the flyer ended up being ... Our cry is No Surrender, We're Rangers til we die, for we are...
  11. I posted this in 2009 http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=102767 Posted 17 March 2009 - 08:04 PM The roar, the defiance, winding up for a big HUUUUULLO! HUUUUULLO! the hair standing up on the back of my neck. Now this was just in the florida Park on Sunday, imagine getting that back for the next OF game. this is how IMO it could happen - with some help from the supporters groups. 1.Appointed representatives from The Blue Order, Union Bears, Club Deck Loyal, Vanguard Bears, EE fan group etc.. meet (online if need be) and agree something along the lines of the following: We need to rescue our greatest terrace chant from the dustbin to which its been discarded at matches. The only sensible way to do this whilst avoiding sanctions against the club is for us to change the words. 2. A new set of words is decided upon, true to our core traditions and values, whilst being robust enough to survive the inevitable spotlight upon which they will be placed - fan votes on the net could also be taken into account. 3. The groups agree they will sing the New TBB at a said time during a said match - ie. The start of the Old Firm match vs the Scum, drowning out YNWA. 4. A joint statement is penned - stating the new words and the philosphy behind it. This is emailed to supporters groups, the club, the media, etc... the word is spread so that as many people are made aware that the New TBB - words included - will be getting sung at particular time. A pot of £50 would cover a hell of a lot of flyers to distribute on match days or day of planned rendition. It is highly likely that the media would pick up on this story and the word would be spread even further afield. 5. The New TBB is sung at said time/said match. 6. the extent to which it works/ the number of people sing it vs old version will determine what happens next. 7. Worst case scenario - the initiative is a failure and messages that TBB is banned are reiterated. A return to status quo with the cost of some time and effort and £50 of print outs. 8. Best case scenario - the majority drowns out any attempts to sing the old words and the chant goes from strength to strength. The club approves of the initative whilst reiterating any return to the old version will result in trouble. The Hullo Hullo roar becomes re-established as the best chant around once again. We could have this for the next Old Firm game if enough people want it
  12. A while ago I was on here suggesting: fan vote on new words flyering before an organised rendition at an old firm game Is that the plan with this thing?
  13. They will. But hopefully - like with Follow Follow - there will be an accepted publicised alternative of Rangers words to sing instead if you so wish, for obvious reasons.
  14. It's good to see Bears getting behind this. The critics usually shout the loudest of course. But they need to answer a basic question. What would they suggest? 1. Ditch our fantastic, famous anthem, the loudest roar in football, altogether? Where's the defiance in that? Then wait for the next chant to be targetted, before TBB comes back - like it did before - and it all starts again. or 2. Keep singing it as is and allow the club we love to have the shit kicked out of it in the public eye, totally defenceless against being labelled - and ALL of us labelled by association - bigotted, sectarian, hooligans. Are either of those two options so much better than getting behind Alternative Rangers words?
  15. This is simply a vote for Alterantive Rangers words to TBB which aim to Save the Roar, Protect the Club This is solely about the 8 words of the loudest chant in football that have damaged the club's name and our own as Rangers supporters. This solution aims to be from the Rangers fans, for the Rangers fans. Further votes may need to follow, with the least popular choices eliminated, until a "winner" is elected. The ultimate goal, to follow election of a "winner", is publicity, flyering, organisation and promotion of a massed rendition vs the Vice Champions at Ibrox... Save the Roar - Protect the Club. on the way to 3 in a Row. Feel free to spread the word, twitter, facebook etc.. http://savetheroar.blogspot.com
