You'll never walk alone

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I have heard it sung on the Kippax but in the late 80's early 90's it started to be greeted with whistles and boo's.

Early to mid 80's it was drowned out by a "dirty scouse song, dirty scouse song, hello, hello...."

Late 70's /early 80's nightclubs would close with it.... Awful places..... Last two or 3 songs.... All arms around each other in a circle to YNWA and New York New York.

Just decided to give this a listen on YouTube.

Fuck me, talk about a song for the truly needy lonely cunts of this world to shed a tear to.

Sling it!

Will never actively listen to this song ever again.

I have an indomitable spirit, I don’t need some singer to tell me I can hold my head high and I’ll never walk alone.

It’s almost laughable!

Pisses me right off when the totally impartial BBC turn up the effect's mic's at the Dippers when they sing this during the build up to their games. They probably even have a audio feed from their PA into the mixing desk so they can convey that 'special' Klanfield atmosphere that we get rammed down our throats.

One of my favourite songs.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Everyone sang it back in the 70's holding up their scarves, then there was a second version which was slightly more upbeat

On a slightly different note could anyone tell me why everyone hated Nottingham Forest and who did they hate when they sang that song?

Havent heard that sung in years! Didnt Leicester get a bit of hate as well in that one?

 

[Magicpole]

All 9693 of them? It’d take me about a year to type them out.

You're so selfish

 

[peoffrey]

It makes them think their pointless lives have meaning.

Did you watch the original version from the musical? When her husband dies and she is being consoled?

In it's original context it has meaning, as a football chant maybe not




And yes I blame my mother and her love of rogers and hammerstien musicals for my vast knowledge on them

Yes
We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too - and Leicester!
We hate Man United
But City we love you (all together now)

The "and Leicester" bit an added shout to fill in the gap between lines

I remember when it was sung at Forest, as soon as the first line ended, the Trent End chanted
"And Nottingham boys will see you outside"
