At least we are going better than Coventry as they are wallowing in the lower reaches of the Coca Cola League or Old Division 2.
Still their last major trophy was the 1987 FA Cup well after ours.
Nevertheless is that the official song of the club?
Have they copied us?
Have we copyrighted our club song?

Put in a bit of effort to rip it off, so doesn't sound like an amateur job.
It's the best song going, but it's ours :-(

Like most AFL clubs the tune to our theme song isn't ours. It's from Row, Row, Row. The lyrics would be ours but I dont know outside Australia if we copyrighted the lyrics. Hull City will be spewing if this is for real as they are the Tigers in English soccer.

ps. If the AFL had relegation we'd be in the conference after the past 25 years  :P.

This is amazing.
I remember the story on the guy who wrote the RFC song.
Even the tune. in the sky blue land is the same.
Something fishy going on here
You might find that its copyright in Australia only ?

That's what I think Jack. A worldwide one would cost a bloody fortune and the powers that be at the time probably thought there was no point in having a worldwide copyright for what was then a Victorian competition. There can also be time limits on some intellectual rights whereby it's considered the creator has had time to make the most of out of their idea before it becomes free for anyone to use.
