"Hello,
I have been a Knights fan since I was 9. I am now 17, 18 in August. I was wondering if I could get an explanation as to why "This is our house" has seemingly replaced "Go Hard, Go Knights" as the Newcastle Knight's run-on song. Why is this?
I personally feel that "Go Hard, Go Knights" is the better choice of song as it gives the team individual identity. It gives the feeling that we, the fans are supporting the Newcastle Knights, not supporting the NRL. "This is our house" is the NRL Theme Song. When we hear that, we think of the NRL as a whole. When we hear that, we do not think of the Newcastle Knights. In previous years, "That's my team" was not played when the team ran out and as far as I'm aware, neither was "Simply the best". Why has this seemingly changed with the introduction of "This is our house"?
Teams such as Manly and Melbourne do not do this. They have "Eagle Rock" and "Thunderstruck" respectively remaining as their team song. If dirty Manly and Melbourne can do this, why can the Newcastle Knights not do this?
I also feel that "Go Hard, Go Knights" gets the crowd pumped up ready for the game and gets the crowd involved. This in turn pumps the players up knowing the crowd is behind them.
Any information you can give me as to why this has occurred would be greatly appreciated as I am severely disappointed that "Go Hard, Go Knights" is no longer played.
Regards,
Daniel Turner."
Probably won't get a response.
