Goodnight Irene has been sung continuously since the 1950s, and is now sounding its age. A new Rovers song will be a breath of fresh air for a forward thinking club!

Completely agree. We should also get rid of the quarters that have been around on and off since the 30's.

Shall we ditch the quarters whilst we are it?
It is part of Rovers, it is tradition and it should stay. The Mem belting out Goodnight Irene after an important goal, result or even in memory of someone still gives me, and I suspect most other Rovers fans, goosebumps.

We've also been Bristol Rovers for over a hundred years, surely time for a change there. What the hell is a Rover anyway? A car? A dog's name?
Also Gasheads. Surely with today's announcement about temperatures exceeding the 1.5 degree threshold, that has to go. Up the Windheads?

I've started taking my son over the last 2 years and he loves singing along to Goodnight Irene! Nothing like it when in full song. Does anyone know the history behind it out of interest?

When we played Newcastle FA Cup lots of their fans were in town due to being in the navy and Irene Goodnight was top of the then Hit Parade.1951.There is a PATHE NEWS Video on You Tube but not sure how to share.Pitch that game probably would not be deemed playable these days!! |

Hmmmmm……..with our history of grounds it’s probably the most appropriate name out of the whole football league We’ve roved the waves as pirates - attempting to steal and pillage the Library when they went bust in 82. And we’ve roved from Purdown to Eastville to The Library to Twerton to the Mem - need I say more |

Perhaps the fact that it's still sung continuously gives you the answer to your own question? I can't recall anybody suggesting to the Kop it's about time they moved on from signing You'll Never Walk Alone. |

If it acts like a shithead, looks like a shithead and stinks like a shithead, it's probably a shithead.

If we're going to ditch anything, maybe the Pirate in his current form. He's about as intimidating as candy floss.
