What makes me laugh is how gobby Melbourne Victory fans tend to be, because they are the best supported club in Australia. Then Liverpool rock up for a friendly in their own city and there are only about ten Victory fans there!

Meh, ****ing plastics. Should be supporting their local team!
(But yes, pretty good rendition. Puts our too-fast version of GOSBTS to shame)

Shows what you know then,..... back in the 70's and even into the 80's,... most teams sang it at one point or another, in fact we regularly sung it home in the North stand and even away from home at times of great results or performances.It makes me cringe tbh so many teams across the works from all different sports sing it now and I may sound like a grumpy bugger but it irritates the hell out of me

There were a fair few Victory fans there. It's a big stadium, easy to get lost in.
it was Liverpool's biggest ever crowd to one of their matches for the record books.
So crowds of 82,000 and 95,000 for Man Utd and Liverpool this week, the socceroos have qualified for Brazil, Australia host the Asian Cup next year and the A-League is just about to switch over to free to air.
Good news for football fans in Oz then - football looks well set to be the second most popular sport in all states there I'd have thought.
We did indeed, I used to quite enjoy it, although we only ever did the 'Walk on' bit rather than the whole thing.

Quite often in the North Stand the only time you knew the South Stand were singing "Walk On" was when you saw all the scarves in motion

The Rendition of your never walk alone for this fan must have been emotional to say the least. probably deserves a thread of its own.

To be honest I thought after the first WC we made it would take off. I hasn't really in a way I thought it would.
Quite a few non soccer fans I know tuned into watch the game and their feelings at the end of it are why it'll never amount to huge crowds here for normal league matches. Too slow, not enough goals and too boring.
It just can't compete for a fast moving, high scoring, crash and bash spectacle that the AFL provides to fans.

hmm - Rugby's great anthem 'Swing Low'
Firstly, there are a great many followers of teams, most notably Wales, who would take real issue with that!
Secondly - I only recall Swing Low being sung at England matches in the last 25 years or so
Thrdly - Englands real rugby anthem is 'Jerusalem'

What do you mean it was Liverpool's biggest ever crowd to one of their matches? How about countless cup finals etc?

Tin pot.
Almost as bad as some of the morons amongst our support who sang it in the cup game at anfield. Almost as bad, but not quite.

I am in the finding it 'cringe worthy' camp on this. On our visit to Anfield in the cup the other year the song was presented at its worse. They had to play an example over the speakers to help the many non native Liverpudlians who attend (support Liverpool) cope with the words.
I really don't think we are in any position to have a go about people not knowing the words to their club song.

It's not the song that's cringeworthy it's the fact that there are 95,000 "Liverpool" supporters living in Australia. 
What's the point of supporting a team that you have no affiliation to? You can only really support the team from the town you live in. It's like all the Palace muppets that live in Sussex - what's the point?

Agreed. I genuinely have tears in my eyes watching that. Incredible scenes.
