I’ve read it all on here now, a Brighton fan thinks Borussia Dortmund might be‘Tin Pot’ over one song they sing.

Lost for words. :D

Surprised at who posted it mind, have I misunderstood a certain nuance?

Celtic still sing it now. It was a hit song from carosel that many clubs sang including Manchester United https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...ws/youll-never-walk-alone-is-our-song-1121768. Much like you heard the Spurs fans singing "Oh when the Spurs go marching in" many clubs sang that too but now its pretty much only them and Southampton.

It was a hit from Carousel that was popularised by a group from Merseyside. Spur's traditional anthem was the Battle Hymn of the Republic (Glory Glory Hallelujah) since appropriated by Man U. At least nobody is likely to pinch our song - it's all about identity !

Of course, we NEVER use songs that originate from other clubs.

I think you are nuance-ely challenged ! Think I've seen more surprising things on this board though.

The film wasnt made in Merseyside it was that that made the song popular. As you say at least nobody will copy ours :D

I remember we used to sing a speeded up version of YNWA, with handclaps in it.


Walk on, (clap, clap) Walk on (clap, clap,) with hope(clap,clap) in your heart,(clap , clap) and you’ll nev, (clap clap)er walk(clap clap) alone,( clap clap) etc,etc, etc.

We may even have been the first club to sing this version.

This from someone who's club anthem is from a completely irrelevant randomly-plucked obscure 1960's slice of PAP, that nobody likes, or remembers.

Lets face it. The sole reason it was adopted by CPFC was because it has a great big "DUM DUM" in the middle of the chorus, so that your mammering lobotomised slack-jawed dead-eyed GUDGEONS in the stands have something supremely basic to clap along to. Like a diseased drugged-up lab rat twitching a leg to an electrical current.

When you have a proper, genuine anthem like the famous and evocative WW1 marching song Sussex By the Sea, your feeble 'Dave Clark Five' shabbering dreck doesn't quite cut it. Does it.
