Mate I’ve been here (Canberra) for 28 years now. It does get easier to ignore the bogans over time.

Don’t worry mate. I love the place.

Im a Rooster through and through but being a local here, I have a soft spot for the Faiders. GIO is a fantastic ground to watch footy so although it’s not my team, it’s a good time heading out to home games here.

All we have really is

Here come the Roosters
EASTS
Roosters (clap clap clap)
ole ole ole Roosters
If you're a Roosters fan stand up
Rooster Rooster man
Cam Smith is a wanker (oops that was last week, any targets this week?)

After last year's GF on the streets of Bondi a kid brought a trumpet to play 'the chicken dance' that was pretty funny

Don’t we have We are the Champions? I did hear that Freddy (Mercury) wrote it for us.

[Hawkeye]

Sung to Land of Hope and Glory chorus

We hate Manly-Warringah

We hate Cronulla too

We hate the Can berra Raiders

but the roosters we love you

I remember the second line as "we hate Parramatta too ... there sh!t ! "

I can still recall some old Parra biddy ringing up radio talkback to complain that we chanted her team are sh!t ... LOL !

[Frozen Chook]

The beauty of this chant Hawkeye, is you can update your rankings of your dislike of teams as required. Insert team as required.

I always knew he was a roosters fan.

Pffff now the raiders want Roosters fans to join in the viking clap



Canberra want Roosters fans in Viking clap

• Eamonn Tiernan

The NRL has approved the Raiders' pre-game ritual to be performed at ANZ Stadium before the grand final on Sunday and it will be led by club legend Mal Meninga.

Canberra assistant coach Brett White called for fans to join forces on the NRL's biggest day in a bid to outdo the rival code.

"I really hope the Roosters fans jump on board and they're all doing the Viking clap because all I hear from Victoria is the AFL grand final and how wonderful it is," White said.

"Imagine if 80,000 people were doing the Viking clap.

"The NRL grand final could be a spectacle on the world stage and we'll blow the AFL grand final out of the water if everyone jumps on board.

"How good would it be to sit back in 10 years time and tell your kids about the day the Viking clap came to ANZ, it's an exciting thought."

The Raiders are outsiders in their first grand final since 1994 while the Roosters are attempting to become the first club in 26 years to win back-to-back premierships.

This one has always been one of my favourites. Could easily substitute Easts for Leeds.......

The one that made the biggest impression on me was one I encountered way back when I was a teenager in the 80s. There we were, a bunch of mates on the loose, on what was left of the old SCG hill and our defence was swarming all over the well-fancied Parramatta side. Everyone else seemed to know the song already but it wasn't hard to learn and we sung it as loud as we dared. It went like this.....

"Roosters here, Roosters there
Roosters every f**king where
Tra la la la, la la la, la la!"

Anyone else recall that one? Pretty sure I'd get clipped over the ear by the missus these days, but I reckon if there was an outbreak of this song on Grand Final day I'd cop the hit!

Still sing it

I still sing it to myself with parra verse

[The Axe]

Also sing to manly Warringah song....
Manly warringah. Eadie’s a stinker

“How good would it be to sit back in ten years time and tell your kids about the day the Viking clap came to ANZ”

I don’t think that’s such a great achievement I’ll be telling the kids/grand kids about - hopefully we all have bigger events in our lives to pass on through time.

F@$k the Viking clap they want to do a cheer that belongs to their team and want us to join in - are they serious - EASTs - definitely between every clap for me!

To the faiders club and supporters,

I'll do the viking clap if you do the EASTS chant. Agreed?

Yours sincerely,
