It's not often I support Barber but maybe he thought you might have learnt them in over two weeks.

I think they saw sense and today proved it that you did not need words on the screen, it was sung really well, after music went off.
No it wasn't. It was a shambles. And the words were a complete MESS.

Going up to win the cup was sung. I didn't hear much else sung. I hope that they get the words back up for a few more weeks. Most people don't have lives that revolve around football and will only learn them at the game.

Must admit that after a few beers I ended up singing that version out of habit. Would much prefer "stand or fall" line.

Two points.
First, people who have been going for years know the words, Or at least their own version of the words.
Second, new supporters may not but they will soon learn. This is not Shakespearean sonnets or Greek prose here, they are relatively straight forward words to a very catch tune. Anyone interested in joining in the singing can do so pretty quickly after listening to other people.
If they want to sing they'll soon join in.
If they don't, the words on the screen aren't going to persuade them.
Do we feel the need to have the words of other songs on the big screen?
We're the right side, we're the right side............
Stand up if you hate Palace?
You're s**t, Ah!!!!!!
This is a football club, not the Salvation Army.
I haven't been to Anfield since we got stuffed a few years ago but I don't remember seeing the words of You¡ll Never Walk Alone on the big screen.
Sake!

It would not have happened in GERMANY. The military version would have been adhered to and anyone daring to sing the traditional Albion version "Going up... etc" would have been sorted.
Maybe we should have the words put up for who we are meant to vote for in the general Election.

I'm in the 'no on screen lyrics' & 'up for the cup' brigade.
Pre Norwich I sang my heart out as usual but looked around the stadium. 99.5% of the home supporters were also giving it their all. West Upper, West Lower, South Corner, North Stand, East Lower & my lot in the East Upper. All stood clapping and singing. As one we sing 'going up for to win the cup' but does it matter. My Daughter, a ST holder, has no idea what SBTS is all about, but sings along with us. I thought that sing-a-long was the best for many a year. The music stops and we all get LOUDER. And when it was over the Norwich fans stood and applauded and yes, I believe it was for us.
Is there an on pitch video of the pre match singing?

Whilst I was initially "anti", I did vote "yes" in the end as it was clear that so many fans were just too lazy to bother to learn the words.
And it did work...far heartier rendition of SBTS with the words on the screen.
It worked well, good feedback, positive response from fans..........so we stop it after just one game.
FFS Barber...get a f*&^ing grip.
