I have emailed NZ soccer requesting that they play Dave Dobbyn's "Welcome Home" before the Vanuatu game. They emailed me back thinking it was a good idea. At this stage they are trying to include it in the pre-game build up. Probably during the final stages of the warm up.

I think it's a pretty appropraite song seeing the AW's haven't played at home and many are now based overseas. Would be great to get the crowd joining in?! Could even become the AW's home game anthem?
 
Here are the words
 
tonight I am feeling for you
under the state of a strange land
you have sacrificed much to be here
�there but for grace�� as I offer my hand
welcome home, i bid you welcome, i bid you welcome
welcome home from the bottom of my heart
out here on the edge
the empire is fading by the day
and the world is so weary in war
maybe we�ll find that new way

so welcome home, see i made a space for you now
welcome home from the bottom of our heart
welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
keep it coming now - keep it coming now
you�ll find most of us here with our hearts wide open
keep it coming now - keep on coming now
keep it coming now - keep on coming now

there�s a woman with her hands trembling - haere mai
and she sings with a mountain�s memory - haere mai

there�s a cloud the full length of these isles
just playing chase with the sun
and it�s black and it�s white and it�s wild
all the colours are one

so welcome home, i bid you welcome, I bid you welcome
welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
welcome home, see i made a space for you now
welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
from the bottom of our hearts

If that's confirmed then I won't be at the match...

What a crap song to play at a football game, how about something more upbeat ... Trust SoccerNZ to think its a good idea to play Dave Dobbyn, how about sticking with what is played pre-match at the Phoenix games, apart from Phoenix City (or even that maybe)

I know, like maybe that Dave Dobbyn song is appropriate for a bunch of lawnbowling grandads


crank out "Home again" by Shihad if you wanna get all Kiwi.

So sleep, and wake, and dream up your fate,
and rise and fall, watch you, grow tall.
I'm here, you're there, but you should know I still love you,
when I'm, miles away.

I'll be home again,
I'll be home again,
Comin' home again.
I'm comin' home again.

etc.

Definitely the Chills!

That Dobbyn song is good, but too much of a dirge for a football game ...

Sorry Jerimiah for calling you a Placenta eating Horse teaser (among other things).
The powers that be have told me I am a bad person.
