I'm happy with whatever way it rolls. I think it'll work either way and however it starts it'll be up to us to keep it going. It's a small thing but also can be such a huge thing/statement at the same time.

Thats why I menitioned earlier that someone should contact the banner crew, what better place than that???

Banner is already done & dusted this week.  

No offence to anyone but that's a soccer song - it really belongs to Liverpool - our go-to song should really be 'We wont back down' since it's the one the team ran out to for years.  
Reebs said years ago it fits perfectly for Storm and I agree with him.
When I want your opinion - I'll give it to you!

Woah Big Jim, keep it down willya?  :P

What I meant is that that particular song will always be associated with Liverpool, nothing wrong with that - it's a bloody great song.  I just believe that our own (well Tom Petty's  ;-)) is the best one for us to show a united front.
Then we can't be accused of pinching another teams 'official' song.

Fair point but i would of thought a song which is easier and more common would have been a simpler song to follow.I will still ne there with my Purple Latex Pants screaming for the Storm

To have the club seen to be doing it may look a bit rich to some if you know what I mean. At first I think the Club should just co-operate by turning the MC off at a pre-convened time, then as time goes on and wounds start to heal they can seen to be more hands on.
So what do you want me to say to Haley if she calls back? Please let me know the general feeling and I will pass this on. Great idea though Noa which ever way we go.
Yeah tell em to put it on but there doing so at the request of the fans.

Good thought, but do we rally want to associate this with Hillborough?

Its not about whose sung it before, who still sings it or who you think it belongs to. It's all about the words in the song and that they will not "Walk Alone" we are behind them. I don,t think anyone wants it sung week in week out, it,s all about showing support this week. Most of the players will not know that the other song used to be a club song, but they will know the meaning behind "you will never walk alone"
