    It’s a song that I sung home and away when I was a pup . Fans did have a chance to vote. Wasn’t cliff Richard innocent of any charges.

    In what way was it skewed? Genuine question by the way.

    Do we really need a song?

    Someone is right, it’s nothing to bother about. But, a lot to do with the introduction was to cringingly try to mask what was going off, like the LR coming out and pointedly clapping.

    It’s the timing, it’s amateurishly way of going about it. The spirit isn’t there for it….that’s the problem.

    Talking of all the past songs, mighty quinn, work together, I don’t recall anyone singing those?

    So, trying to get singing going….that’s where anything falls down (at the mo)

    Why don’t they just stick to what they did. It worked.

    You want a come on roar before kick off….not a badly timed, damp sqib sing song. Esp not a misplaced “till I die” song.

    So, the club acknowledge the vote went wrong? Good, the chairman can veto it, and U turn….should come easy.

    No. He wasn't pursued further. Only he (and any others involved, if applicable) will know if he's innocent.

    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.

    That means he must be presumed innocent!

    I agree what you say about the connotations though and it does sound a bit naff.

    Technically he was never arrested or charged, so the presumption of innocence doesn't apply - that's just a status afforded to anyone accused of something. Innocence outside of a legal framework is different, and I doubt we'll ever know. He's a weird f***er, whatever else he may or may not be.

    And yeah, it's a tragic song... if it had been played for years, fair enough (many clubs do that) but forcing that on us all just makes me want to take my seat after kick-off. Maybe a good ploy to sell more beer!
