And since I don't know the lyrics to this song that hasn't been regularly sung for about 25 years, it doesn't seem too much of a stretch to assume that lots of other people don't. And since it's two verses long, and I have hearing problems and find it difficult to determine the words in chants from half a stadium away at the best of times, I doubt I'd pick up all the lyrics immediately. It obviously wouldn't work - your reaction is your reaction, and multiplied by 10,000 or whatever the scorn would be endlessly damaging. But the logic of having a sheet to know the words is there, and it's simple. You don't get to pretend that your visceral disgust at the idea is based on it being unreasonable. You make some fair points. Perhaps I have a bit of a blinkered opinion on the matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I find it pretty amazing it doesn't get sung at games, home or away. It is often belted out in pubs before away games but has just never caught on in the ground apart from small pockets of fans occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
