Blades vs Leeds- sing off

[penthouseblade]

I find something incredibly cringey about Marching on Together.

It's fucking wank mate, fact.

I get your point but by the time the rest of the ground joined in we would already be on the "oooooow".
Seriously though, unless it kicks I fast- the begining of the song would never be heard.

It wouldn't be that difficult to all start on the refs whistle. Would it?

When did they start singing it as "their" song? I don't remember it being sung the last time I was at Elland Road, which was a loooong time ago, 1986, we beat them one nil. I think it was Dirk Benedict who scored.

I think it's from the 70's when they reached an FA Cup final (no doubt disgracing it in the process). The team sang it back then and now we are left with the awful legacy. ....

Well unfortunately so do we. I wish the club wouldn't do that and just let the fans cue themselves.
Worst was at Wembley where the twat in charge of the music played the whole bloody song.

How many of our great fans cued themselves at Wembley against either Burnley or Huddersfield?

There tends to be a problem when the regulars, especially the song leaders, get split up and spread around, mixed in with a lot of casual fans. I don't know what the answer is to that, but because it can be stilted at large, neutral venues doesn't mean we have to be force fed in our own ground, does it?
