Sorry if it's behind a paywall.

Coventry City have the most inspiring football anthem in the country

‘We’ll Live and Die in These Towns’ by The Enemy has been adopted by Coventry City and is fuelling their bid to reach the Premier League

Its that time of the year again where we get national, and international coverage!

This is the one thing I see as being better in the PL than the Championship

Just read it now. Frank listening to WLADITT whilst walking his dog and Christine filming the kids singing it is just lovely

Fucking incredible. I love the song and I love the city.

I remember buying it on CD despite the fact I was rinsing Limewire (or whichever one was going at the time) of every other album.

59% on the Telegraph poll reckon it’s football’s best anthem.

I’m obviously bias but this is the most original and authentic football chant in the Football League.

WLADITT was penned with many parts of the country in mind, as was The Special’s ‘Ghost Town’ but both songs had Coventry specifically in mind.

As a principle, I love it when clubs adopt a local anthem because who wants the same copy & paste chants? Not me!

I wanted Bristol City to get through just because their "Drink up the Cider" from the Worzels is an absolute belter. Better than anything Sheffield has

I'm glad we are not singing Ghost Town. What a miserable song from a miserbalist lead singer who didn't support Coventry City. My main problem with the 1981 Ghost Town is its inaccurate portrayal of Coventry at that time. The place was relatively buzzing. Certainly more night life in our City than we have now.

Love & best wishes to all Cov tonight.
WLAD ensures we're not late to our seats.

Ghost town was never specifically about Coventry. It was inspired by Glasgow

As opposed to the Enemy lead singer Tom Clarke who was born in Birmingham and supports manure?
