Sat next to a Liverpool supporter down here on business yesterday. He thought the stadium was great and ready for the Prem. His only negative was the lack of what he called a club anthem. I told him that GOSBTS was our anthem but he questioned why it wasn't sung loudly and passionately by the whole crowd during the match. He certainly wasn't impressed by the 'we are the north stand ' etc and thought that was lower league stuff. Decent bloke though and thought we will be in the Prem very soon, and not gone unoticed on merseyside.

The Leeds fan that I've taken a few times says the same about the stand singing. Mentioned in his blog that got a bit of an airing on here a few weeks back.
Bloody loves the stadium, football style and beer though!
Thought the atmosphere was good yesterday despite Brum fans being very poor

None of the old songs sung from days gone by get sung anymore. Just attempts at signing about what stand you are in. I guess times haved moved on, but I'll always remain old school it seems.
I get annoyed that the songs are about the fans and not the club or the players. It's all so... 'look at me' and it's often a distraction from the game.
I've never really understood the point of that song, perhaps the overall atmosphere would be further improved if it was dropped and time actually spent singing about the game and supporting the team vocally rather than singing at each other for no particular reason?

I enjoy the east side west side at away games but the home game attempts are just a distraction from what is going on on the pitch (in my view that is!)

This too.
tbh I get annoyed with people moaning on here about songs - sing and join in or dont - or start another one?
And me. Let's sing about the club and players.

At least GOSBTS isn't sung by any other clubs. Knob.

So this scouser comes down to the game and then sits telling you how Brighton are a bit two bob because we don't have a Fields of Anfield road" or "scouser tommy" style song?
I would have told him to stick it up his bin dipping arse.

Didn't know Spurs are a lower league team. When did Lolopool last finish above them? They sing this song too.
I like it.

Good friends with an anfield reg myself. I really like their attitude to songs sung at the ground and the way their triditional support tries to maintain the integrity. The problem we have is only 5000-8000 fans know and understand the significance of GOSBTS. The rest like songs they have seen on TV sung by other teams.
