£50 Up For Grabs For The Best New Saints Song
A member of The Ugly Inside message board community hedgeend61 is fed up with the lack of quality new songs in the repertoire so he has decided to do something about it.
Certain teams have some great songs, anyone who has heard Liverpool fans belt out a version of Scouser Tommy or Fields of Anfield Road to name but two examples from their song book or even Manchester United's varied output will know what I mean.
But in the main for the rest of us its about churning out the same songs that everyone else sings and just changing a few lyrics along the way.
hedgeend61 is hacked off with this and wants to change our culture and get the Northam End singing something a little more original every week, something that pertains only to Saints with original lyrics and with a tune that hasn't already been recycled by every other team in the league already.
This means that there needs to be a little thinking to be done.
In order to encourage those budding songwriters amongst you he is willing to put up a cash prize of £50 and for the best four runners up there will be an Ugly Inside T Shirt up for grabs.
The rules of the competition are simple.
1. The song & lyrics need to be original and not in common usage (Obviously the tune itself has to be well known, just not used before)
2. The competition closes on Monday June 9th at midnight.
3. The judges decision is final
4. hedgeend61 is putting up the £50 prize and we take no responsibility if he doesn't pay up lol
5. All entries must be posted on the official thread on the Ugly Inside message board
6. Other rules may be made up along the way.
7. The winning song must be about the club rather than individual players, although legends from the past can be incorporated, but the idea is a song that will last over the years.
What to read next:
Ipswich Town v Swansea City : Swans with decisions to make Swansea City visit Ipswich Town on Saturday with the majority of people already putting this clash down as a home win. That may well be the case but the Swans are not exactly playing badly with their last two away games resulting in a win and a loss.
Cullen saves the Swans in a world class moment The Swans most certainly flattered to deceive last night at the Swansea.com. In a game where all the focus was on investor Snoop Dogg the pre match build up made the game itself feel secondary. After all the glitz and the glamour that turned out to be the highlight of the night - there was little of that on the pitch.
TEAM NEWS : Swansea City v Preston North EndTonight we see the Swans take on Preston North End which again is a form of six pointer with the Lillywhites three points ahead of Swansea. Win and the hosts move onto forty eight points, level with the visitors. Lose and it’s a six point gap.
Snoop Dogg brings worldwide glamour to Swansea City v Preston North End Swansea City take on Preston North End this evening at the Swansea.com in front of a sold out home crowd. It could well be the Swans see their second twenty thousand plus attendance of the season In a cleverly promoted fixture which will include one of Swansea City’s investors, Snoop Dogg.
Swansea City 1 Bristol City 0 : Swans under par but they still take the points !Swansea City most certainly were not at their best for this early afternoon kick off but they still managed to take all three points today. Despite an exceptionally poor completed passes stat (63%) which tells you some of the story, they had courage and endeavour which we wouldn’t have seen before Vitor Matos took over as head coach at the Swans.
Swansea City v Bristol City : Match day morning & team news Swansea City now know if they take the points today they will most certainly be three points outside of the play offs (for a bit anyway) after Blackburn Rovers last ditch goal to defeat Preston last night. Tuesdays visitors Preston North End lost 1-0, so they will be looking to put that right on Tuesday in front of a completely sold out crowd.
