CCFC - Men of Harlech

Tue Aug 24, 2010 10:28 pm

Looking at the thread earlier I think we need more identity when we come out so lets do something about it and lets get those words learnt?

You'll never walk alone at Anfield has an amazing feel but its because they all sing together and IMO Men of Harlech would more than match that at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Words -
Men of Harlech, stop your dreaming.
Can't you see their spear points gleaming?
See their warrior pendants streaming
To this battlefield.

Men of Harlech, stand ye steady.
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready.
Welshmen never yield.

From the hills rebounding
Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call,
The mighty force surrounding.

Men of Harlech, on to glory!
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before ye:
Welshmen will not yield.

REPEAT

MOH is played every game if you chose to sing it or not, learning the words and joinging in will only help the atmosphere ;)

At the next home game, could someone ask Ali to play the first few lines as a cue and then turn off the music and see just how many of us know the words?

Re: CCFC - Men of Harlech

Wed Aug 25, 2010 7:06 pm

205 in less than 24 hours can't be bad, even if it's just a few learn the words it all adds to the at atmosphere.

Could someone post it on CCMB?
