Now, a few words from some of those who were involved in creating this huge piece of Magpie memorabilia.

-----------------------------------------------------

When craig and JLC contacted me and asked would i be interested in being a part of putting a CD together i was pretty excited in fact the boys even let me put 2 speeches on the CD one at the beginning and one at the end. The object of doing the CD was one word and that is 'FUN' it was fun doing it and it is fun listening to it although at the time in the studio it must of been 40 degrees celsius and at the end the joint stunk, i will get the boys underarm deodorant for chrissy. In recent times we have seen the Collingwood family come together like never before and its mainly due to nicks board and fromtheouter which has made all this possible the cricketers prematch is well known all over the world and many other magpies from all over Australia head to the cricketers as well, the way the magpie throng responded to the red flag chant at colonial is further proof we the collingwood people can do things no other lot of them other supporters can do.

We hope this CD can bring more of us together and celebrate our love for Collingwood, the CD was made by Collingwood people for Collingwood people nothing more nothing less and all proceeds from the sale of the CD will go to charity we are not doing this to fill our own pockets.

The CD is not a musical masterpiece but it is equal to the passion at the punt road goals or the top deck Coventry end goals at colonial, some chants you will know and some you wont, some are new and some have been around for ages, we hope you like our new extended version of ' every where we go'

Thanks to eddie and lisa without lisa's help i dont think we would of got this thing of the ground thanks to all the guys who participated in making this thing happen, and thanks to you the 'Collingwood supporter' this CD is dedicated to you, we hope you enjoy it, we really do. We are Collingwood and by god we will always be Collingwood.

cheers joffa

On a sultry Thursday night in November the Cricketers and 'The Outer' came alive in a recording studio in the back streets of Fitzroy. Thirteen of the Magpie faithful gathered to create a CD version of what we do, hear and yell every week during the footy season.

The making of the Magpie Army CD was a great opportunity to bring together a group of mates who all bleed black and white. It turned out to be a win-win situation as we has so much fun making the CD and a charity will benefit from the proceeds raised. The CD will provide everlasting memories of our friendships and chants which is something that money definitely cannot buy. The chants are certain to bring back those somewhat hazy recollections of the Cricketers, and of the many good times had both this season and in the past. It will also certainly raise the eyebrows of anyone not of Collingwood inclination! It was definitely a team effort - Megan Christie did a great job with the artwork and for that we are all grateful!

Mike on behalf of all the guys thanks for getting behind us and supporting the CD without nicks board and FTO we simply would not of been able to do it.

The prodceeds of CD will be directed to charity the cost of getting this thing off the ground was about 1000 bucks the initial sales of CD will return the money to myself and the other guys who put in out of there own pocket to get this thing up and running.

I cant recall when we did this thing if we planned to share it with other collingwood people or if we were just doing it for a memento of the fantastic times we have all had over the years at the cricketers..the chants are from the ponny end goals, many can be heard from the cheer squad on any match day and of course you will hear all these chants at the greatest magpie pre match get togethers ( the cricketers arms hotel )

Sometime after recording the CD we sent eddie a copy and as it turned out eddie loved it which was probably the reason we decided to share this thing amongst all collingwood supporters, a special thanks to lisa ( eddies secretary ).

This is a first amongst any football supporter from any football club although the CD isnt a musical masterpiece and wasnt designed to be it really captures the magpie enthusiasm and passion..we're pretty excited about it.

At the moment we are witnessing the uprising of the magpie army we are doing things together that no other supporters are doing i cant ever recall a moment in my time supporting collingwood when this has happened ( at the cricketers week after week we hear other opposition supporters saying " i wish our lot could do this'...people are amazes at how big the 'winners circle' has become after each game when we celebrate another collingwood victory..the way the army responded to 'our march to the MCG during this years finals series..the fantstic effort in getting behind the 'red flag chant' are examples of we can do together as magnificent collingwood people.

The cricketers has become known world wide as the place to be as we celebrate together our love for collingwood on any match day at the MCG, many many collingwood people from all over Australia come to the cricketers whilst in melb to watch the maggies.

But without the fantastic contribution such as nicks board and FTO bulletin boards none of this would be possible.

The making of the CD is dedicated to these boards and all collingwood people all over the world, we hope it excites you as much as it excited us, we really do hope you support us in making this thing pretty big
long live the magpies.

PS after we have collected our initial return all other monies will be taken to victoria park the club can decide in which charity the money can go to, we are accountable for every money recieved and JLC ( the accountant) will have a book in detail accounting for every cent.

We are trying to get copies into the souviner shop at collingwood.

When making out the cheque or money order please do so by writing them out to...J.CORFE
AND PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PUT YOUR RETURN ADDRESS.
any questions regarding the CD ? .....FIRE AWAY !!

It sound fantastic Joffa,
I'll just add that to my Xmas collection (already got DVD's 2002 highlights and triple pack).
The great thing about the CD is the fact that this is what we actually live every footy season - those of us who are fortunate enough to go to the games that is.
We'll be playing it and chanting along all the way to and from the games next year.


If you bleed black and white you'll never walk alone.

if we wanted we could stand outside richmond station on any match day and we'd sell a 1000 copies easy no probs at all, but we decided to do this thing exclusively via the internet to give all collingwood people right across Aust and even overseas the chance to obtain a copy.

It was a hot November night, when a few of the faithful gathered in a dingy Fitzroy recording studio, and laid down some tracks.

And I do mean hot. We had to take a breather in the middle, just to rehydrate (I had brought a slab for just such an emergency). Lorelei reckons that the "boy smell", that hit her like a ton of bricks, when we opened the studio room door was an experience that had to be endured to be believed.

I remember being in there and thinking "I hope everyones underarm deodorant holds out". The sweat was pouring off the lads. The other thought foremost in my mind was, that I hoped Clokey's Neighbour (Anthony) did not decide to start playing "Dutch Oven". That would have ended our project then and there.

In the end we got down nearly all the songs and chants that were heard in the Cricketer's Beer garden on Grand Final Day. These include our club song, an attempt to recreate Joffa's "southern" version of "everywhere we go" that enthralled all present on grand final day (does anyone out there have a good recording of this?, no joke people were holding up their mobile phones, and demanding again and again that Joffa do it one more time), "I still call Collingwood home" (inspired by some guy who looks like Peter Allan that keeps wandering into the beergarden, he's an Essendon fan), "There's only one Nathan Buckley", and many more.

Lots of chants in there too, including "Anthony ROCCA", "Neon Leon!", "Jar-rod MOLLOY", "the Rupe, the Rupe, is on fire", "Stunning, Steve, MCKEE".

All in all it was an experience, that generated much enthusiasm. I thought Chris was a bit too optimistic by trying to pick up trendy Fitzroy chicks who wandered past the recording studio, as soon as we had finished. I tell you not, his line, "we just recorded a CD" got the girlies interested, but he blew it straight by admitting it was a footy CD! Those sort of girls were not interested in footy.

Anyway, it's a must have for most of us here. Whether you have heard them before or not, you just have to hear it.

Rule 1. Barrack for Collingwood
Rule 2. See rule 1.
Rule 3. There is no rule 3.

CARN DE PIES!
