JFKvsNixon Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yes. It looks naff at the rugby when the others all have national anthems and we use the UK one. Can't we just continue to use the UK anthem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Is there a difference, or could we all not use the same one? theres a website for something here. http://anthem4england.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Can't we just continue to use the UK anthem? We could do, but thats rubbish. And it's for the UK not England, and on that basis whenever we play Wales or Scotland both sides would have the same song about an old rich woman who lives in a big house and how we should give her stuff. Booorring. We need to follow our Celtic chums lead and have our own tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yes. It looks naff at the rugby when the others all have national anthems and we use the UK one. I think what looks and sounds naff are legions of fans attempting to sing a song that they don't know the words to. If we really must have a national anthem then it should be instrumental - music by Peter Maxwell Davies would be a good choice. And he's a Master of the Queen's Music. So there.

Just put the words on the programme. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 And he's a Master of the Queen's Music. So there. But not a Master of The Queen's Navy. (So he's not a very model of a modern Major-General). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
