Dunno if it matters that much does it?

Having missed around half a dozen games at Goodison in the last 25 years, I suppose that makes me not a regular match goer then.

Agreed. Norwegian behaviour.

I took some people around Liverpool yesterday and done the mersey ferry.

I haven't been on it for years.

Took these pictures of our new stadium. It's looking amazing.

Fair enough, maybe they were singing it in the noughtese, just didn’t hear it.

In your Liverpool slum, you dip though the bins to find something to eat. If you find a dead rat then you think it's a treat.

No, not poverty chanting at all....

Don't know whether you'd class this as poverty chanting, everything doesn't need a label. I used follow Hibs when I lived in Edinburgh and the older fans used to sign it to the Hearts fans, "In your Gorgie slums".

Think the chant is just a generic derogatory one used by many fans bases, I've heard far worse sung at Old Trafford during away trips. Every fan base has its morons, even ours.

Personally, I think if there is a category of poverty chanting. This is definitely in it.

But should we be arsed if people sing it?

God forbid someone to sing something mean.

This was an 80's thing in my experience. The mancs sang it... the irony. The cockneys did it, alongside sign on etc.
Chants were far more targeted back then and picked anything out to sing about.

A little sparse for now, but this is a huge landmark for us

I'm guessing when they had all the barriers up and stewards there they were expecting big queues. You'd have thought it would be better to launch it on a weekend.

I thought there would be more of a build up to the opening, cutting a ribbon, player present that sort of thing, but on the other hand, a less high profile, mid working week opening does avoid the Clarkson Pub type issues of till systems etc melting, staff getting a feel for the place and so on.

Mr Drone one of the first in and having not seen the place in person myself, you get an idea of the scale of the stadium when he films the walk from the gate to the shop door.

It's a conversation I avoid with my dad. A certain generation of blue (those born before the 80s I suspect) fucking love a home-brew song about their club.

Gen-x onwards all think it's a bit cringe (percentages increasing the younger they get).

It's why cup-final songs are no longer a thing now.

Generation x tends to be those born up to the start of the 1980's. I was born in the 70's so dont throw me in with that crowd!

Maybe its a generational thing as you say.... but being self concious and worried about appearing super cringe isnt the high ground. That tends to diminish with age.
