    It's about NYC, not a scarcely remembered strip of Rotherham. It's written by a guy from Kansas City. It's sung by a guy from New Jersey (covering a woman from LA). We'd be no worse off playing a Don McLean song because the stadium backs onto the River Don.

    True, but the New York place name was used in our area before New Amsterdam became New York in the USA.

    Ours traces back to land owned by the Bishop of York, the USA New York links to the Duke of York

    So we have a good claim on the name

    A claim made to try to get some buy-in from American investors (the Yankees owner, etc). It was largely disingenuous, meant very little to Rotherham folk, and the song is still nothing to do with our strip of land regardless of legitimacy of claims to the name.

    Because it involves the word Millmoor so is totally outdated.

    I thought they updated it?



    The crowd would only probably be singing the chorus anyway.

    Just play New York New York when they are about to kick off instead of at the end when they've won. It's so obvious but it never dates old blue eyes singing that not like Bachelor boy!

    Out of all the U turns that is one thing that will NOT be U turned. That song is a long term plan!

    99% of the town had no idea about the 1,400 victims, but in the tribal world of football it doesn't really matter. CR may be a saint, and none of us knew about the abuse, but opposing fans will still chant their tragedy songs.
    ...and the other 1% ignored it...........
