That's how the original goes....


Indeed. The problem with the "fans version" is that it is always too fast and in too high a key, resulting in it gradually descending into chaos and most people dropping out way before the end. This may not be brilliant, but at least it sounds possible to sing along with...
 
IMO we're making people think we're a pretty small club by making this game seem so important.

The song has nothing to do with that, the fact is that this game IS important. Get through this and the away leg and the Wembley game then becomes important.

Or would you argue against that as well?

I'm not saying that the game is not important. Releasing a song for the play-off semis makes us look small time. Anybody on the outside would think this is our greatest achievement.

No, that was beating Forest which is why that got a DVD
 
Sounds good.

Not really sure how they can make it more like our chant - it's a recorded song with instruments and backing vocals at the end of the day.
 
I don't even like the fans version. I don't feel most fans see it as much of anthem anyway.

I agree. I much prefer Molly Malone or Those Were the Days, although neither is barely sung any more. They seemed like much better anthems to me personally.
 
I actually think this sounds quite good, will be interesting to hear the whole song tomorrow!
 
How does 'Those Were The Day's go?

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Supporting the boys in Royal Blue

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la la la la la la la...
 
Well apparently some people were singing along (even though at the end of the article the words are there in case you didn't know the "terrace anthem")

Can't wait for the performance at half time...
 
We were told by the PA bloke at the Walkers on Sunday that it "will be available to download from the website sometime in the near future, no doubt". Nice and specific.

I didnt hear him say that, I think my ears were bleeding at the time.
