Heard this sung loudly at Rochdale and it sounded great and since the injury to Bojan and all the support he's received from us Stokies quoting this saying! It's quite powerful! I really think we should promote this song and phrase more! Sing it more at games and maybe make it our hashtag so to speak, the same as YNWA and COYS as it's personal to us, unlike "oh when the reds". It's unique to us and I don't think we use it enough! Thoughts?

Correct. More WBWY, less OWTR.

It needs to be slowed down drastically and there should only be clapping after "City".
There's Bob Hope of that happening though.

Apologies if posted elsewhere, but has anyone thought of starting some applause for Bojan on Saturday, in the 27th minute to correspond with his squad number?
Such displays of appreciation should not only be for sad occasions! We all love him , so let's show it!! d.

Clapping @ a certain minute relates to a 'DEATH' Bojan is alive and kicking, watching Speedy Gonzales and eating Paella.......so answer is no.

I think a 90 minute applause for everyone who has been injured in that corresponding minute. Or whatever age they died...maybe for every match.

We could sing we'll be with you on Saturday swapping the words City for Bojan just to let the little fella know how special he has become to us

EVERY song we sing needs slowing down with the inane clapping being confined to the dustbin. We'll be with you is a great song that is often totally destroyed. I literally couldn't keep up at Leicester it was sung that fast. Delilah has already been destroyed as has the Robert Huth song. |

Really like it because it's a Stoke original, sounds great and keeps going. As much as Delilah is our anthem, every other set of fans knows we have it, so are ready to piss take it when we start singing it - noticed at Leicester for instance, their fans kinda kept quiet while we sang we'll be with you. Can almost picture them all discussing it among each other "what song are those loud, handsome devils singing?"

Correct. More WBWY, less OWTR. Yes, yes, yes; it's our song, written for us and can't be stolen, just like our appropriated anthem Delilah. 'Oh when the reds..' is a horrible, generic dirge that gets sung to our team that, actually, wear predominantly white  |

"Small ones (ll)'Long ones (l l), Some as big as your head(=)" I always thought it was 'long ones short ones'. Also, I don't think clapping all the way through we'll be with you is too bad. As long as it's kept to a slower tempo and everybody is in time. |

To my mind We'll Be with You is the worst football song in history and sounds like it was written for an under 5's tea party. Although Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent supposedly wrote it to specifically celebrate our reaching the 1972 League Cup Final they very careful managed to omit "Stoke"or "City" from the words in the hope that it would have wider appeal and thus make them more money.

Is that true? Ive always wondered on the history of the song. The lyrics are a bit cheesy but the song sounds great when its done properly. |

No there are worse songs as we all know, how about 'Back Home' 1970 England World Cup song, hated that. I even think Chelsea's 'Blue is the Colour' is totally cheesy and unfortunately very catchy...bugger. No definitely not the worst in history! |

Plus I know it was not specifically a song written for football, but I really hate 'I'm forever blowing babbles'.......that song must be close to being the worst sung on the terraces. While we are on the subject, we used to sing 'Walk On' (with slight modifications ;-)) and it went down well. When they sing it at the start of games at Liverpool now it sounds like a funeral dirge, never used to in the 70's.

Slow "we'll be with you" down. I'm sure when I bought the single it was on a 45 not a 78  |

Funny, my copy of the single definitely has the word "City" at least four times in each chorus? You must have a duff copy Skeelsy!!! |

Exactly, well said; we're not playing the record, we're singing it out for the lads (as long as we don't try it ten times a game a la OWTR!!!) |
