It was der-der-ders all around before the words were put on the screen in my part of WSU.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
I have 2 'small' requests of our club for this time next week please......
- Thread starter Milano
- Start date

Like SASTA could arrange that
Easy. They can dramatically reduce the capacity of the trains running out of London during the evening peak. After all, the passengers using those trains are captive season ticket holders who will not desert the service, even though they pay thousands of pounds a year to travel.
There's some thundercunt in front of me who's reason d'etre is to do this. That's the only noise he makes. Slaps his programme on his free hand and stands there with a huge grin on his face.
Sometimes he doesn't even get up when we score.
Maybe he's doing a thesis on population mobility?!

Hence my statement saying 'had things worked out more favourably' ..... i.e - securing promotion that day
Pitch invasion without securing promotion or a last day relegation suvival is all a bit...: Reading FC

It's a sad but true fact that the majority of the crowd don't know the words. Putting the words up on the screen is helping to remedy that and each week the response is slowly but surely getting better. There will be lots of youngsters who have now learnt the words and many adults who could previously only der-de-der and who are starting to joining in. At some point in the future the words can be dropped but we're not there yet. Having suffered der-de-ders or silence from most around me for too many years I applaud the club's initiative. Cardiff City put the words to Men of Harlech on the screen before their games and the fans really belt it out now.
Whilst the words are being displayed, if you are one of those few insecure or overly sensitive types then why don't you avoid any crushing embarrassment by cringing quietly in the toilets?

Maybe the club can send the words out to all STH's via email or post for them to learn at home.
Putting words on the screen is beyond embarassing. Seriously

Doesn't sit particularly well with me either to be honest.

I was at the Derby playoff second leg game.
They have been putting the words of their song on the screens for a long time. If you were there then you'll know that it eventually pays off-it felt like every Derby fan in the stadium was joining in and it was bloody loud.
Wembley (old) used to hand out printed song sheets for the 'community singing' before games. Abide with me, John Brown's Body, etc., etc., were all on it.
We needed to start somewhere and not everybody knows the words-the screen makes it easy for newcomers to join in.
There is nothing embarrassing or tinpot about putting the words to our county's anthem on the screen for all to see. Far more embarrassing to have endless der der ders rather than the real words.

Personally (though I may be in the minority?), I don't sing it because I think it's a pretty rubbish song and the words don't really scan with the tune, making it quite difficult to sing anyway....
Sorry.....! Cue hate mail?
No hate mail, but seriously? This is utter nonsense.
The words only fail to 'scan with the tune' if you've got the wrong tune - i.e. way too fast.
The words are important. Are special. Are OURS.

No hate mail from me. But that is a very odd viewpoint.
The words are very stirring, they have true meaning behind them, its our anthem, it scans perfectly with the tune, and I am very proud of it.

Ha. Now we're talking! Maybe also giant letters scanned onto the side of the stadium outside for passers by to also join in!!!

I don't get this aversion to our County Anthem being there for all at The Amex to see. Especially visiting fans who can see that we haven't simply joined the herd and have used some sixties or current pop song. Palace have chosen The Tottenham Sound as 'their song'. THAT is embarrassing. Sussex by the Sea isn't and we need everybody singing the REAL words at the correct speed.
Be Proud and f*cking well join in-with the correct words please.
