Swim away on 21:45 - Feb 18 with 2279 views | BasingstokeBlue | Probsbly why (for last few home games) I thought the new song was "Run away - run away; ... It turned out to be a weird "We're on our way" song, There must be a choir practise event during the week before a match. Since the missus and I have to travel 4 hours up to every home game, we can't attend choir practise. Can somebody post a clip of what new songs have been devised, please? |  |
