[edit] Club song

Club Song:

"We're a happy team at Violet Town,

We're the mighty flying Town,

One for all and all for one,

The way we play the Towners,

We're the mighty flying Town,

There are times when you'll see us,

Busting our guts,

There are times when you'll wish,

You had never known us,

And there's times when you'll know,

That we're really made of gold,

We are the boys from Violet Town,

You will see us in the finals,

You'll see us do or die,

We'll fight and fight forever,

To see our banner fly,

Are we good, Are we good,

Are we any bloody good,

We are the boys from Violet Town."
