Absolutely, no discredit to the song, but it's been done to death.I guessing you're going to ditch Penny Arcade as well then.

Absolutely
Agreed.Not kidding myself on. Anyone spouting that will be shown the door, they are not welcome.
The thing about this night, us it is offering some Rangers fans an option that is not there for them now. There is plenty out there for the FTP or whatever. If someone wants to jeopardise this for them, then they will be made to feel unwelcome. If I were not able to do one of these without the nonsense I wouldn't even think about doing another.

The difference here is, it's not just going be a random gathering of bears. Those who choose to buy a ticket, are doing so knowing they are going to an event where it is specifically targeting a certain group. If, as is so evident there are so many fed up listening to loyalist songs when gathered with Rangers fans, then there will be a great number who want this and want to keep it. Again what is very evident, there are plenty who go to sash bashes who fancy a change.A lot of songs that will need to be ditched.
I really do doff my cap to the lad for trying and hope it is a success, but I can't see it being, or I can see it turning into exactly what he doesn't want.
It doesn't matter where you are, you get a large group of bears together the Loyalist tunes come out, the add ons get sung and that happens everywhere.
As I say I hope he gets what he wants, but I can't see it happening at all how he thinks it will.
And let's be honest, calling it a Rangers night and not having that song as the OP is a bit like toast and jam without the jam.
I understand some people might not dig or enjoy the Loyalist element, but it is part of Rangers, and the vast majority of fans mindset and isn't going away anytime soon.

I'm not saying it will happen. The Liverpool Boss nights tour.The more I hear the more I wish I could come to one. (I live in Northampton sooooo...)
????what next Sweet Caroline ?
Well it won’t be the people on stage doing the performing spouting any FTP stuff or shite about a dead terrorist and the type of songs being sung anyone trying to bastardise the lyrics is going to look a complete imbecile and be ejected. It’s all about the Rangers!

Alright mate. This is something I could contribute to. Without sounding like a total square though I do have questions.
Is the expectations to give it the %^*& the Pope and the IRA chat?. Being honest, I'm all for a sing song amongst my pals. But to be fair, taking this on is not something I want to lose my job over after becoming a viral sensation after managing to fit Bobby Sands being deed into every second song.
Whats your audience you are aiming for?
Watching all those Liverpool fans at the Boss nights, bouncing about singing their hearts out, sharing and showing their love and passion for the club they adore. So jealousy really.Whats brought this on anyway WBD? Did a weird naked indian visit you in your sleep telling you to put on a concert?

It’s a part of Rangers support, not a part of Rangers. I used to be in the OO when I was younger, now tbh I’m sick to death of it. I’d much rather sit and sing songs that are actually relevant to football than loyalist stuff. That’s the purpose of the idea and if people don’t like it then they should have a look out for a sash bash and leave this to the people wanting to attend it for the right reasons, to get songs for our club that are about football and actually relevant to 2019
Absolutely!!This isn't and shouldn't become a Us vs Them between Rangers fans, lets not turn it into that - we have enough factions, splits and arguments as it is
If I can put on an event that satisfies those interested in having it, then Result. I'm not looking for a massive event. Initially it will be small. If those who attend enjoy it, they spread the word then next one will be bigger. If they don't enjoy they won't be back and it will be history.I don't see where that is very evident at all.
Serious estimate how many do you think you will get to a night like this if you make it clear any form of loyalism or add ons and you are out the door?
Genuinely I am not having a go and I hope it works, the more nights and coming together of bears the better but I am just failing to see 1 , where the appetite for it is, 2 how you think this isn't going to turn into what you don't want it to.
Claims that are evident so many are "fed up listening to loyalist songs" , I just don't see it, don't see evidence of it, and even then some may say they are then a bit of bevvie and the old tunes come out
As I say, good luck, but iv never been in a group of bears, and Iv travelled and continue to travel the world with Rangers, that don't start singing the tunes.

What about Bear Nights
I understand it less than you.Am I alone in wonder what the hell this means?
I don't mind loyalist tunes in principle. The vast majority are toe curlingly embarrassing with their childrens TV instrumentals. An absolute red neck. I'm all for a night of pure rangers songs, sung and played live with guitars etc. I couldn't give a monkeys about Bobby sands or the King of the peados. I do however love the rangers.I don't see where that is very evident at all.

I had a meeting tonight concerning a possible venue, but this would be a larger venue if the nights were a success. A very productive meeting which has me even more determined to make this happen.Definitely something that could be a goer, if the correct singers, correct sound systems/venues etc are in place as the liverpool ones are good.

All I need now is more musicians committing to the idea, if not the actual night. As I said as is the way with musicians, I may get some but when it comes to it the date doesn't suit. But I can still use your services outwith the actual gig night. So if you are thinking about it. Contact me.

Ideally it would be a good thing to have a spin off, to have a mini version of it at fan zone events next season. Also, Liverpool did an event for youngsters, which should be something we should look at doing, get the youngsters, our future into this sort of culture.Be interesting if you get it off the ground, good luck to you. Could be more in the market for folk to take their kid along to perhaps.
Gig72Need a Glasgow word for it. 'Boss' is such a scouser word.
Just call it a sash bash and be done with it.Agree 100 and open to suggestions

I have 5 possible musicians. 1 definite.How many musicians have come forward @WBD ?
This is a great idea but will be hard to get the message across? Maybe get in touch with @David Edgar and the H&H boys to talk about this idea on there?
Good luck. If you book them they will come.
