It’s lucky that hope springs eternal in the hearth of the Raider’s true believers at The Green House.

Despite as disappointing a season as can be imagined they’ve put together a highlights video featuring the club songs.

Well, all two of them.

“The Bad and Mean Green Machine” will of course be familiar to many, but “We Are The Canberra Raiders” was a new one on me.

I vaguely recall they had a different song during Superleague. Can’t remember what it was but I know it wasn’t as good as the bad and mean green machine song … if only the green machine could discover how to play again like they did when they actually won stuff.

PS. Nice to see The Greenhouse called “the hearth of the Raiders true believers”!

I remember it. But then again, I am one of the Raiders’ true believers.

Go the Green Machine in 2012!

What a brilliant clip! 🙂 We are the Canberra Raiders was the original club song. It was played once this year at the ground… after a game and everyone asked the same question! The song was changed by the time of the first premiership in 1989.
