How did the song before kick off at the CBS start?

Most (if not all) love it from what I can see and never fails to make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

Sure somebody said they had been trying to get it going for a while but to me seemed to have come from nowhere this season. I’ve been to most home games and I think it was only playing (at least right before kick off) a few months back?

A lot of the ground was actually singing the verse too at Wembley!- That solves the problem of no singing until the chorus and therefore Away fans given the chance to make all the noise.

Saw a comment on Youtube from the guy who plays this at the CBS about the song from this video
The person who's got WLADITT going from the start is Stu, he's got this as the anthem. In terms of it being played in full, that'll be a production schedule discussion and where the club and Stu think it would work best. In it's current spot (between teamsheet and KO), there's not enough time, so would need to be earlier in the schedule if that was to happen. Thankfully, that's not my call

It was also at the play-off final. But I’m impressed how much it has taken off. It’s the right note pitch for everyone to sing. Unlike LAST.

I remember them trying this years ago maybe in 2005 for baggies fa cup game where Doyle got sent off and we lost 5-0.

Different more positive times now and we needed another anthem so there we go

It started way back at the beginning of last season. However the first game I really remember people singing it was Birmingham last year. Then two weeks later for the Middlesbrough play off game

Also, Wembley showed how much better it is if you crank the volume up.
It’s played to quietly at the CBS, the crowd completely drowns it out so people go out of sync with the tune. Same with Take Me Home, the rendition at Wembley is the first time I’ve heard us sing it at the correct tempo

Even I sung it at Wembley. I usually mumble it at the CBS.

You one of the Enemy? Fair play for trying to get the song going 2 years before it came out

Not sure I’ve ever joined in at the CBS but sang every word on Sunday. Just had to. I probably start from here.

You don’t have to like it in fairness. It’s not played for entertainment value.

It’s an anthem. A show of strength & unity before battle.

Was at both those games and don’t remember that. Was it not sung as loud or not just prior to kickoff?

Maybe against QPR we can give the team one last show. Everybody bring their flags and we do another full rendition of the song?

It certainly wasn’t as loud. Probably just singers corner singing it.

Showing my ignorance here but I didn't realise they are a Coventry band!

It is so very fitting that this particular song is adopted by us. No-one can steal it or copy it!
