Put the words on the screen and give it a go. As PB said last night, people are not compelled to read them.
It hasn't been done before.
Except to put "Seagulls, Seagulls" up, which was plain stupid.
Fading the music down after the intro seems the way to go, so people take over and sing. Putting the words up to assist younger fans who don't know them seems sensible. If they offend anyone, don't look at them.
If anyone is worried that the away fans might think it 'cringeworthy', get over it. I suspect they'll actually be impressed with the noise we'll make.
If its some Palace fans on twitter, posting a few lol smilies, about it, maybe you need to get a life.
Was it not done v palace first Amex season?
Not that I recall
For that I'd need to be on twitter, which I'm not
Totally agree, how do we vote against if you are an old git that does not know how to use Twitter. I don't care what Palace fans think, although not a lot skill involved to remember the words to 'Glad all over' but it is a truly awful idea, we are a football team playing in a football stadium not a bloody Karaoke bar. Sometimes think the PR of our club needs some attention. We will be asking next if we want goal music and a lone seagull display swooping over the ground before the game.
It takes about 2 minutes to sign up www.twitter.com You can then vote against if you wish.
Oi. I'm old too and managed it ok. Signing up to Twitter is as easy as it was to sign up to NSC. If you feel strongly enough about the issue, you'll sign up to vote. Won't you?
I've voted now. Come on, if only one of you sign up you can cancel out my vote!
Fans should know the words - simple as that. If they insist in putting the words in, put them in the programme.
Its a bloody awful idea. Oh, and that Twitter "poll" results have been severely changed by Palace fans.....shows how embarrassing it is. Its a football match, not a karaoke session - know the words before you go to the game. As a comparison, do Palace stick the words to "Glad all Over" on their screen ? No. Do Liverpool for YNWA ? No. Do Sunderland for their song ? No.
Its almost as if we are trying to look like a laughing stock and pretty much admitting we have too many new fans, which we do.
*Awaits flaming for actually coming out and saying my full opinion against what others think*
I couldn't give a monkeys cock what any of the Nigels think, putting sing along words on the screens is only 1 step from clackers, goal music and drums IMO.
As I'm not on twitter does that mean I've got more if a life than you?
If the club are really adamant about getting the atmosphere going why not put the beer prices down and print the words on the tickets and/or in the programme.
But not everybody DOES know the words, except to the chorus. I'd rather the words were up and 15,000 voices joined in, then they were not, and 7,000 mumble along, going der der der der der.
Other clubs DO put them up, as well. Derby did for the play off game, and sounded brilliant. Are they the laughing stock of British football because they do so?

Then stick them in a programme. Its football, not karaoke. You learn the words - not sing from a screen. We had words on the clackers.....that went well didnt it
Oh, and pre-match atmosphere really isnt THAT bad, its during the game where its dire. Just removing the music for the chorus would improve it pre-match.

Derby do it with their club song, and the crowd really ramp it up. I don't think they are particularly tinpot, and that ground has one of the best atmospheres in the league. IMO, of course.
Far too many precious people, get embarrassed about far too many pointless things, IMO, like.
