Claps are better imo, the old codgers just can’t accept it 😝
TamNeither for me. I might have got this wrong, but when I first started singing it in the early seventies, I don’t think that we did either. I think that it’s better without, but just my opinion.
Agree.
La all day long … however when I’m there I never sing it because they’ve usually started it too fast and in the wrong key ( too high at the start leaves you running out of voice)
I'm most definitely a la.
Clap - I'm out
La when I 'm clapping, I always la when I 'm clapping..

Wait till you've got arthritic hands! Cheeky whippersnapper.

Less breathless?

Agree.
Same. Neither are in the original song and are a bit cringe (but that’s just me).
If I was forced to do either I’d clap.

I do find it a bit cringey as well, but each to their own, I guess. Tell you what though, the Harry Lauder original version that's now played just before kick off brings tears to my eyes when we get to the last line and the crowd takes over. It's slow and really powerful. I can hardly sing it without getting choked up, soppy old tart that I am.
Yeah I love they play it before KO now too. Shame they’ve truncated it from the start of the song, like they were doing early in the season, to just the chorus now though.

Yes, that's true. It's a wonderful song in it's own right, and (I might be a bit biased) the best club anthem that there is.
PoloIt's sung too fast to get the la, la, la's in these days. I tried it on Friday.
And what key should it be sung in?

OK.
WHAT. KEY. SHOULD. IT. BE. SUNG. IN!!!!!

For a predominantly male crowd belting it out without too much of an upper vocal reach, around F or F sharp, I reckon.
