How come we used to sing You'll Never Walk Alone?

Been meaning to ask for ages.

Does it really matter. It's catchy, it got people singing and the atmosphere yesterday was great and a lot better than it has been.

Agreed, i think 2700 singing it yesterday says it's not wednesday song and L'pool were doing before them, and it wasn't from the Derby fans - done it at home a few times too on gangway D - think it will be a permanent one now so live with it - everyone was singing along and enjoyed it.

Sometimes you don't have to directly support the team at the match and can actually go to a match to enjoy yourself you know.

For me a Der-Der-Der song is a pig song. A load of noise in support of no-one in particular. As likely to lift the opposition as your own team. It just reflects a lack of imagination to get proper songs going.

Besides that, I like the things which distinguish us from Wednesday, and hate it when we try to sound like them - whether it was their idea originally or not.

Wordless songs are generic tat, sung by every plastic club across the country. If Wednesday want to be that type of club - fine. I don't want United to go the same way.

It's great that the atmosphere's picking up again - but please let's keep it United.

The S U F C part does distinguish it though doesn't it?

Whilst I agree that I wouldn't want our support to follow the 'plastic Wednesday' route, I think we need a song that comes in fashion and will be gone again in a few years if we're honest. I wouldn't want us to have more than that one song BUT I disagree completely that it picks up both teams. Imagine 25000+ Blades fans singing that on Friday night and tell me it won't intimidate Wednesday just a little.

Some of our songs have gone a little stale and folk don't sing them with the ferocity of the past few years. The 'Sheff United, Sheff United, Sheff United' one needs a break as many fans aren't reacting to it as much as they were. Obviously the GCB will always be special but we need a song that will make some din and keep the atmosphere bubbling sometimes. And the kids will love it - much as I like the Ched Evans song, I can't see many 6 year olds remembering the words!

UTB!

Like the new songs, or loathe them. I thought yesterday the away end at Pride Park was rocking and it made a good day even better.

There was a thread on here the other week about the youngster being self-styled Blades Ultra's and they whipped up the away support in to a frenzy with their passion and good natured attempts to get things going, and as a result we was cooking on gas, and i think the backing was superb, and helped the side no end
