MEN OF HARLECH

Just a thought on that.Wrexham getting all "it's our north walesey song"! if you watch the film zulu you will all know that the song was sung by the south wales borderers.Now me personally have great respect for those men and if its good enough for them its good enough for us,so f**k you gogs and stop bloody moaning about it.

my favourite part of a home game when that is played,absolutely love it

Wrexham would probably answer by saying there is no historical connection between Rorke's Drift and the song MOH, it was simply a scene contrived for the film Zulu.

Further Harlech Castle is in North Wales and apparently the song originated from a medieval siege there in the 1400’s.

That said we thought of it first and it is associated more with Cardiff City than any other Welsh club.

that'll do me mate

The South Wales Bordrers are based in Brecon, & have been for 120 years, correct me if i'm wrong.

For this reason, I never understood why Men of Harlech was a Cardiff song.

ONe thing that really piss me off is a welsh guy calling another welsh guy name like gogs . For christ sake dont you think the fking english do all the name calling without our own kind doing the same ? We are all Welsh.

I was reliably informed the last time this subject came up that SWB didn't move to Brecon until 2 years after the Battle of Rorke’s Drift and the Regiment was full of Brummie's as well as Welshmen.

But even if they had been based in Brecon, they never sung MOH towards 4,000 Looney Zulu warriors, which is a shame.

Not to mention that Stoke City want Tom Jones to sing Delilah at Wembley's FA cup final!

I hope he does a better job than his attempt at the national anthem at that Calzaghe fight a few years back!

And anyway, maybe Cardiff City just love the film (scene included) and are proud of the South Wales Bordrers? More than an acceptable enough reason to sing it.. we are all Welsh after all..

i cant stand the song! and when we hum it cause we dont know the words it sounds pathetic! .... let wrexham keep it!

I really do know why they go on and on and on about this song, I have seen some really good song put up on here , but there too fking lazy to learn them and if your reading this and you know your one of them , well yes I mean you ! Told you I only ways speak and say what Im thinking and I this there a lazy bunch of U S twats . to say you love your team and not be bothered to learn a song that would take about 30mins tops. ok I know some are as thick as fk so for them 1 day

Actually I think you will be surprised at how many fans do know the words of MOH (may be a pole would confirm this?)

You can definately hear the sound of fans singing above the version Ali plays pre-match, which wasn't the case not so long ago. The problem might actually be how to start off a singing version of MOH during match time, simply because it hasn't been done before and the humming version is well established.

Im not a fan of Tom Jones , But i love my country next to my children who are learning Welsh and the film was ok , but the roots go back well before that, but as a part time Welshman guess you wouldnt know that anyway. and I guess you would know all about shit then.
