They played the real Royals Anthem at half-time and, because of its title, had to announce it as The Royals Anthem.
Ashes is a good song but, other than the fact it is one of those frequently played at our games, it has absolutely nothing to do with our club. It is also highly unlikely that many will sing along to it, let alone sing it at other times.
On the other hand the true Royals Anthem is ours and has everything to do with our club. It was composed and sung by an employee of the club and the lyrics are all about the club, match days and the team. What's more, it is catchy, the words are easy to remember and it's easy to sing along to. Yes it's a bit cheesy but IMO it is not naff and is far better than songs that have been released by other clubs - I have the displeasure of having to listen to my neighbours' absolutely awful Chas and Dave style QPR songs.
The club were lucky enough to gifted the Royals Anthem and I am just amazed they haven't grabbed it with both hands and declared it for what it is - The Royals Anthem.
