Anthem for the English ?

They are not changing the National Athem , God Save The Queen.  It's an anthem for The English for sporting events nobody intends changing the National Anthem that we all sing and respect at international levels such as G B teams 

as I am a socialist I don't sing the national anthem on principle also because it is boring I am also totally non religious

How about "Roll out the barrel"? a catchy tune and quite relevant to some people in a lot of ways 

Anything by the 'Wurzels' would be appropriate

I'm sorry but far too many Brave men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice in its, and our Countries defence, for us to just to dismiss our National Anthem as irrelavent. So I for one will never accept any replacement for our National Anthem.

I regret but I regard any such proposal as nothing less than treachery to the memory of such brave souls, be they English Welsh or Scottish or serving under any of the flags of our Commonwealth Nations. I am ashamed that such a proposal might have been made,, and discussed with such levity!

God save the Queen!

I think that you have missed the point TF?  No-one is suggesting that we dump 'God Save the Queen' as the BRITISH National anthem just to have an additional anthem for England as we have in Wales, Scotland and Ireland!

Aren't you getting confused with the Referendum?

I think that I do now understand your point, but apart from internal to Britain games dont quite understand when it would be used?  What other Countries uses such regional anthems?  If a German team came over here would they use for example an East German anthem if it applied or the French a Basque one?  The Australians A Northern Territories one?

Or is it just another silly game, in which case How about "Where be that Blackbird be?" a nice Somerset one!

You obviously have not watched Wales, Scotland and Ireland playing rugby overseas singing their own National Anthems with gusto TF!!
