I like Shihad's Home Again. Has the right sort of vibe I reckon.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

I'm a huge fan of the song but wouldn't it just be an absolute mare to sing/chant? Not having the guitar riff in between each line would throw off the timing and I think it would just get messy. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Supergroove - Can't Get Enough?

The "So high, can't get over it, so low can't get under it, so wide can't get round it" bit would be easy to chant. + it has ready made actions too.

Or there's the classic Th' Dudes - Bliss.

By contrast the Liverpool fans sing "Never Walk Alone" unaccompanied and it's moving, loud, scans well etc. It's the epitome of a football anthem.

Pretty sure they just stole this off Celtic, so they had a nearby template on how to do it.

There's some evidence suggesting that the song was originally sung by Manchester United fans.

I think that's a pretty good shout. Flows pretty well without big pauses between lines. It always seems to be a popular singalong at cricket and rugby games, too, so I think it would catch on pretty quickly.

Time to resurrect an old thread. 

We have lots of kiwi awesome music to choose from that would be belter before the game. I reckon Blacklisst - Home would be a goody to chant out and could would even work for All Whites games. Thoughts or suggestions?

One day the world is gonna turn on you
Hold on tight, I'm there with you
They'll try and break you, but they won't get through
Don't be them, just be you

[Chorus]
When you're falling
I'll be coming home
Don't stop calling
I'll be coming home

Someday your heart is gonna break in two
Take my hand, we understand
That it will hurt, it won't break you
Just be strong, ride it through

[Chorus]
When you're falling
I'll be coming home
Don't stop calling
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home

My skin, my flesh, my bone
Call on me and I'll be home
No matter what you do
I'll be waiting right here for you

[Chorus]
When you're falling
I'll be coming home
Don't stop calling
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home
I'll be coming home

Big Country - Big Country...

I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive, here we go

Counting The Beat/"that song from the countdown ads" - The Swingers

All would be pretty good to belt out before the game

I got you
That's all I want
Got my stripey
That cost a whole lot

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
We're still in the league, we're gonna make the play offs

"Counting the seats" could be a message to the FFA?
