Blue moon is an 1930's american song. Barcas is theirs but it is 50 years old. YNWA is 1960's I am not saying that Waterfront is the best song for us but it is associated with us and has been for a long time I think its a great song. Aye mate but City’s fans sing Blue moon and we don’t sing Waterfront so that’s completely different. And whilst that’s not where it came from, the song also has a slight relevance with City’s colours. What relevance does Waterfront have to us? Gerry and the Pacemaker’s who did their version of YNWA were from Merseyside. Barca’s anthem is their song. I’m not against old songs per se, the Hearts song is from the 60s, but it’s a club song. It’s about Hearts and Barca’s is about Barcelona. Waterfront is just an old pop song. It has had its day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also disagree that Waterfront for many Wednesday fans is not 'just an old pop song' because if that was the case it could be replaced by any other old pop song. I think becasue we have used it for as long as we have that the tune does 'belong' to Wednesday. But as I said you make valid points. I just dont agree with them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic do sing YNWA but Celtic’s main anthem is the Celtic song, and that’s what they come out to. Funnily enough that song has been copied too, Everton have their version of ‘It’s a Grand Old Team’ that they brought out after Celtic. Hibs also sing It’s a Grand Old Team too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I also believe that a couple of North Stand Pointers whilst doing missionary work in Glasgow helped simple minds with Waterfront. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to play the top 10 before kick off in the 60s at Anfield. Obviously YNWA was a bit hit and was in top 10 for weeks. Fans enjoyed signing it, and when it disappeared from the top 10, they all chanted it anyway and asked for it to return. So it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I dont mind it. I wouldn't care if they didn't come out to anything to be honest, why do you need a walk on song anyway? I also wouldn't be happy if we just chose a random Sheffield band song. It would just be like we are then trying to force a connection with a band/song just because they are from Sheffield. If they came out to a rendition of Singing the Blues then it would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
