Club song

edit

Oh we're from Clifton Hill,
a fighting fury we're from Clifton Hill,
in any weather you will see us with a grin,
risking head and shin,
if we're behind, we'll never mind,
we'll fight and fight and win,

Oh we're from Clifton Hill,
we never weaken til the final whistle blows,
like the Hillmen of old,
we're strong and we're bold,
oh we're from Clifton
the blue AND the white
oh we're from Clifton Hill!

Club Ties

edit

The club maintains tenuous links to Crystal Palace via a bi-annual Australian based supporters trip.[citation needed]

Sadly after 7 years without loss in front of these loyal fans, season 2013 bore witness to a 0–1 loss to Noble Park. The supporters trip has now not seen CHU score for in excess of 300 minutes.[citation needed]

There is also a mutual relationship with Heidelberg United due to the Greek Heritage of both clubs.[citation needed]
