Genuine Question

[JJ Sefton]

...and another one of the best songs at the club is an adaptation of another teams song.

No, its an adaptation of Rod 'Hot Legs' Stewart's 1975 hit 'Sailing'.

We are bladesmen was first sung at Plymouth in dec 1976. At half time the Plymouth announcer played 'Sailing' by Rod Stewart and said Plymouth should adopt the song cos of their seafaring tradition.
Around 200 Blades who were there changed the words to 'we are Bladesmen' and sang it all through the second half.
Get to know your history pal.

Is that what you call 'getting owned'?

You're not allowed to say that brownie, as people young and old love the singing section and all those who sail in her (apart from those who can't follow logical arguments or actually read what people have said, of course.)

You're generalising by saying those who want the singing section are younger and those who think it's a "bit daft but each to their own and all that" are older. This is despite the fact that many people have listed their age in this thread and those generalisations, as generalisations tend to be, are generally true.

You might be interested to learn that someone received short shrift somewhere else too....

Hilarious! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

what a comic!

P.S Strange that so many older Blades think it's a good idea...but ignore that. Something about not reading what people have said and all that

To be perfectly honest i don't see the specific need for a singing section, as if the team play well the crowd usually get behind the team and a few songs get going on the kop. Play poorly and it doesn't happen and its not hard to see why.

I'll give A-Force 6 games next season and if we start badly then they will be a singing section with an anti-Blackwell agenda.

I love the Blades, and know the vast majority of songs through travelling with the Blades.

I don't quite see the point of singing something Dale Cavase when we have such a rich and varied plethora of our own songs to sing and to choose from.

A couple of starters for 10

Three Blind Jellyfish

One man went to mow (with his supersonic sausage dog with a Blades tattoo on his knob)

I'm a rambler

All three would be good ones for A-Force to learn but apart from the One Man Went To Mow i very much doubt they would know

We played well against Bristol City, Blackpool and Palace at home to name a few but the atmosphere was still very poor in all those matches. That argument doesn't stand up for me and it seems a singing section is the only option, unfortunately, now.
