I suspect much of the crowd wasn't expecting it.
It seems to have well received around me in the ESU. Although one wag suggested that 'Stand or fall' should be etched in the last line. I agree.

They were on the screen today for those who don't own a phone or to busy drinking their pre match beer to look at the tv screens.
I'd like to have an opinion on this but unfortunately, I couldn't hear the music cos of all the Wolves fans laughing,pointing, and calling us tinpot. I may never live down the shame
It'll take a few games, but I think it'll work.
It's crazy that there are three different versions being sung at the same time (more if you count all the variations with der der der in and around), so I'm looking forward to everyone singing it together some time soon.

Complete waste of time. Everyone round me just sang the 'going up to win the cup' version.

This. I have never been so EMBARRASSED in my entire life.
Palace doing us in the play offs was bad but nothing like I felt today as those words came up on the screens.

Thought it was well received once people realised the words were up on the screen. I never thought it would create miracles after just one game, but I definitely think today was a positive and a step in the right direction!
Funny how some are claiming it's "embarrassing", yet no Wolves fan have mentioned it on Twitter, funny that!!!
Long may it continue!!!... until we all know it off by heart and are singing it loudly, and proudly like a crowd at the Millennium Stadium.

I would ignore it, but it has cut too deep.
I'm afraid the only answer is to start drinking heavily, and step into the billiard room with my loaded service revolver
Goodbye cruel world

Did you enjoy singing the magnificent "Now is the time for marching" and "You may tell them all we stand or fall for Sussex by the Sea" ....?
Persevere and those around you will catch on.
I learned the words - the proper words - in Primary School where we sang it regularly. I'm probably one of about 10 people who's sung the verse in the past. I'm not going back to the "proper" words when I've got a hundred people or more round me belting out the version we know from the Goldstone North Stand.
My word, if that's the most embarrassed you have been, you really must have led a sheltered existence.

This was a massive fail today! No one sang the words which were on the screen so kind of defeats the object

Wrong! In the West Upper centre a lot of people were actually singing the real words rather than going da da da! Keep it going and it will do its job and teach people to sing the right words.
