I think it's more a dressing room song for the players.
I don't remember it in the 70's.Did we abandon it for a while? Never heard it on the Kippax in the 70s and 80s.
Not that bothered about Sweden, Kentucky, New York, Cornwall etc. But singing a scouse associated song......sour taste.
I like it but agree with the scouse connection and it seems every other bloody club has it now as well ..Can we fck off Hey Jude. Embarrassing we sing a scouse song.
What's our connection to it anyway?
I don’t know, I wasn’t born until the early 80s.
To be fair to those four Scousers: one was an Everton fan, one was an Arsenal fan and the other two didn’t like football.
That's what I console myself with too, but everytime I'm unfortunate enough to be over there at the inlaws, they ask why we sing a Liverpool associated song.I don’t know, I wasn’t born until the early 80s.

Watch the first 6mins 40secs of this^:
No earsplitting adverts on a big screen, no daft microphone bloke coming out with utter nonsense like ‘Our Number 25, the Human Calculator, Manuuuuuuuu Akaaaaanjiiiiiiii’, ‘Our Number 19, Al Araña, Juuuuuuulien Ááálvareeeeeeez’, no Danzone Fanny or Natasha Spike, no pitch-side interviews with some random boxer from Azerbaijan promoting his fight at the Co-Op, no crap pop-punk version of a dreary song called ‘Blue Moon’, no light show with wolves howling at the Moon like we had last season, just Blues making a racket!
As far as I know, it was sung after the capri song .That's what I console myself with too, but everytime I'm unfortunate enough to be over there at the inlaws, they ask why we sing a Liverpool associated song.
Not like we haven't got enough Manchester songs to go at.
so bottom tier i can walk to 110? or 010 nowdays, that works for me… theyre considered the singing stand anyway so anywhere close to them is mint.Bottom tier can you not walk all the way round? Atleast go into the south east corner closer to away fans
I think Amarillo was a Newcastle chant firstWe’ve been singing it since the 60s. We were the first set of fans to make it a football chant, coïnciding when we were champions of England in 1968, came out the same month we beat West Brom 6-1 at Maine Road in the Charity Shield.
Much like we were the first to make ‘City til I Die’, ‘Voulez Vouz/Bernardooooo’, ‘here’s to you Vincent Kompany’, Billy Ray Cyrus/‘don’t sell Joe Hart, super Joey Hart’, Amarillo/‘is this the way to Istanbul?’, Fleetwood Mac/‘I’ll follow you everywhere’… into footy chants.
You wouldn't have enjoyed city fans singing YNWA then back in the dayDid we abandon it for a while? Never heard it on the Kippax in the 70s and 80s.

The version I remember City fans singing on The Kippax had slightly altered words to the Scouse version.You wouldn't have enjoyed city fans singing YNWA then back in the day
Walk round to block 110, the tunnel club is blocked off and you can't get round to that side of the south stand. I've tried it myselfso bottom tier i can walk to 110? or 010 nowdays, that works for me… theyre considered the singing stand anyway so anywhere close to them is mint.
I do, especially at away games along with “we are city..” (sailing) but I think it’s time to drop it now, everybody does it, doesn’t have the impact it did in 2012I don't remember it in the 70's.
ok then I’ll just walk to 110, bur from the inside right? like through the concourse?Walk round to block 110, the tunnel club is blocked off and you can't get round to that side of the south stand. I've tried it myself
No we really fuckin don’t mate ;)What we really need is Mr personality Hugh Ferris back.
