£50 Up For Grabs For The Best New Saints Song
A member of The Ugly Inside message board community hedgeend61 is fed up with the lack of quality new songs in the repertoire so he has decided to do something about it.
Certain teams have some great songs, anyone who has heard Liverpool fans belt out a version of Scouser Tommy or Fields of Anfield Road to name but two examples from their song book or even Manchester United's varied output will know what I mean.
But in the main for the rest of us its about churning out the same songs that everyone else sings and just changing a few lyrics along the way.
hedgeend61 is hacked off with this and wants to change our culture and get the Northam End singing something a little more original every week, something that pertains only to Saints with original lyrics and with a tune that hasn't already been recycled by every other team in the league already.
This means that there needs to be a little thinking to be done.
In order to encourage those budding songwriters amongst you he is willing to put up a cash prize of £50 and for the best four runners up there will be an Ugly Inside T Shirt up for grabs.
The rules of the competition are simple.
1. The song & lyrics need to be original and not in common usage (Obviously the tune itself has to be well known, just not used before)
2. The competition closes on Monday June 9th at midnight.
3. The judges decision is final
4. hedgeend61 is putting up the £50 prize and we take no responsibility if he doesn't pay up lol
5. All entries must be posted on the official thread on the Ugly Inside message board
6. Other rules may be made up along the way.
7. The winning song must be about the club rather than individual players, although legends from the past can be incorporated, but the idea is a song that will last over the years.

Season Preview Revisited – Bottom HalfThe concluding part of our season preview revisit looks at the teams at the foot of the 23/24 Championship – we got two of the bottom three correct but there were some other big misses here too.
Season Preview Revisited – Top HalfIt’s that time of the year again where we look back at the hits and misses from our season preview – this year we either got your team exactly right to the place, or missed by half the division.
End of Term 23/24 – AttackThe fourth and final part of our annual review and number crunch of the QPR squad finishes with the club’s amazing non-scoring strikers.
End of Term Report 23/24 – MidfieldThe third part of our end of term report focuses on QPR’s midfield – an enormous problem for this team for a number of seasons now, it’s been one of the areas of significant improvement under Marti Cifuentes.
End of Term Report 23/24 – DefendersPart two of our annual individual player reports for the season focuses on a defence which really came into its own under Marti Cifuentes and contains the two outstanding candidates for the club’s player of the year award.
End of Term Report 23/24 – GoalkeepersThe first of our annual four-part individual assessment of the QPR players’ performances during the previous season always starts with the goalkeepers – and, regrettably, that means we’re puncturing the recent feel-good factor round here by beginning with a negative.
The Coventry Conference – ReportCoventry away, for so long a fixture that loomed almost as large as the spectre of Eoin Jess over Queens Park Rangers, turned into an eighth away win of the campaign and survival party for a manager and support base who both really stepped up when it mattered in 23/24.
