We'd better be.
Do you want the words to Sussex by the Sea on the big screens before kick off?

That's 'Glad All Over,' a song written by Tottenham supporters Dave Clark & Mike Smith, performed by the Dave Clark Five, a band originally formed by Tottenham supporters with the intent of raising money for Totenham Hotspur to play a match in Holland.
Are you really using evidence that Crystal Palace fans know the words to a song by Tottenham fans which was around for a quarter of a century and played by a band known for the 'Tottenham Sound' before being adopted for a novelty single by Palace as evidence that your club has no 'plastics'?
Presumably you can tell a die hard Palace fan because he'll also know all the words to 'Nice One Cyril' and Chas & Dave's 'Spurs are on their way to Wembley'.

Glad all over also played at Blackpool and other clubs I believe. Palace do not even have their own song.

Yes, heaven forbid keeping something that sounds great and seemingly the whole ground joins in with.

I agree it sounds good away, Fulham the striking example but does not quite seem to work at home. Might be the euro-pop remix rather than JC version but just sounds iffy. Back to 'Sussex', was quite ironic when a person near me exclaimed they preferred the 'up/cup' lyrics to these 'weird' ones"

This is an absolute classic. Your going to put the words of a chant up on a big screen to create an atmosphere because you don't know them.
Sigh...
It is not a 'chant', it is a World War 1 song, sung by soldiers from Sussex, who knew that there was a high chance that they were soon to be killed fighting for their country.
It is a little more complex, a little more meaningful than 'Glad All Over'. And there is no singing in the tune to sing along to.
Now, run along.

Imagine if we had goal music! Or cheerleaders, or flying a bird around before kick off, or ultras that wear all black like the SS, or even when we scored a goal the announcer would get us to repeat the strikers name.
Now THAT would be really embarrassing. Or even worse, a giant penis display
!
I didn't realise it was the school holidays again.

You would so love an atmosphere, c'mon own it.

This isn't a Palace thread, , you're not wanted, piss off
Joke today. They get a singer to sing along over the PA and she manages to sing different words to what was on the screens.
Just stick to stand or fall. That was piss poor and sums up our season. Disjointed and unorganised.
