The beautiful south Manchester.

From Northenden to Partington it’s rain
From Altrincham to Chadderton it’s rain
From Moss Side to Swinton hardly Spain
It’s a picture postcard of “wish they never came”

And whilst that deckchair in the garden it makes no sense
It doesn’t spoil the view or cause offence
Those Floridas, Bavarias and Kents
Make gentlemen wear shorts but don’t make gents

So convertible stay garage-bound
Save after-sun for later
If rain makes Britain great
Then Manchester is greater
As you dry your clothes once again
Upon the radiator
What makes Britain great
Makes Manchester yet greater

From Cheetham Hill to Wythenshawe it’s rain
Gorton, Salford, Sale pretty much the same
As I’m caught up without my jacket once again
The raindrops on my face play a sweet refrain

And as winter turns reluctantly to spring
For the clouds above the city there’s one last fling
Swallows build their nests, chaffinch sing
And the sun strolls into town like long lost king

And the mood of this whole sodden place is melancholy
Like the sun came out to play, shone through the clouds
But dropped its lolly
And everyone looks so disappointed, so, so sorry
Like the rain blew into town, kidnapped the sun
And stole its brolly

The Blue Order along with the other fans groups from Ibrox including the Union Bears, Club Deck Loyal, East Enclosure and the Family Section Loyal are joining in with the campaign which has started on various forums in the last week or so regarding making the cup final a flag day like the ones the Rangers support have had before.

 

The Blue Order urge all Rangers fans to mark the day (it could be quite an historic occasion!)  by bringing along a flag to help turn the Rangers sections of Hampden into a sea of colour. TBO feel that the Rangers fans should bring any flag at all rather than having a 'theme' so dig out your Union Flags, Saltires, Lion Rampants, Red Hands of Ulster, St. George's Cross, Red Ensigns, White Ensigns, Rangers Tricolours (reversed French flag), basically any flag with our colours upon it or with a link to the Rangers.

The Rangers supporters  have the finest collection of flags and banners in the country and we'd urge all RSC's etc to bring their flags and banners to Hampden on the 24th May to turn the day into a spectacle.

Come on Bears, let's do it.
