I've never heard it sung either despite standing next to the signing section in Selhurst and attending a large selection of away games for the last 4 to 5 years. Ah, you are all so young. Of course I hate you for it. But yes, we used to hold up our scarves and sing the song, maybe that's why it doesn't hold the same concerns for me as for many people here. I've been going since 1968 and I've never heard it, let alone participated in it.

Quote Gribbo at 21 Apr 2014 10.52am So will there be a similar recognition of 25 years since the Heysel Stadium disaster in 2015 - the 36 fans who died, the 600 who were injured, or the 14 Liverpool fans who served manslaughter sentences of 3 years apiece for their part in events. In 2015 it will be 30 years since that tragedy. Sadly it's a tragedy that many Liverpool fans believe the Juventus fans need to get over it. Sad but true! And I see signs of half remembered days, I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

Quote thosewerethedays at 23 Apr 2014 2.45pm Im with you on this one Maple I really appreciate that. It seems I am a Nigel for not hating other clubs' fans. The thing is, I remember a time before the really nasty times. Yet again we dwell on the nonsense that happened when I was a young man instead of the better times both before and after. This is absolutely one of the best times ever, we should enjoy it to the max. We KNOW it can't last.

In those days we used to sing a few other clubs' songs too, sometimes with different lyrics, sometimes not, such as West Ham's "bubbles" and the "play up Pompey" song. We also nicked "celery" off Chelsea and a version of "oh when the saints..." from Southampton. I never understood why but it did happen. "You can feel the stadium jumping.

As I recall back in the day (60's / 70's) , just about every teams supporters sang YNWA. It was a standard football anthem. Not advocating singing it for Liverpool , just saying.
