When You're Smiling before kick off.

[Ashley]

I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct way to go about it however it's a start. 

 

Whilst we might not agree on a version of WYS to be played can we sign this petition so WYS can be played before Kick Off? Hopefully we can get enough signatures to approach the club. 

 

Any suggestions for a better atmosphere then put them in here. Let's get our atmosphere rather than giving the away fans a sing song before kick off with playing Hey Jude.

[one F in Fox]

Signed!

 

Not too fussed which version, as long as it gets people singing along!

[H.a.r.r.y]

good luck

[yorkie1999]

I thought the version they played a few years back was great, no one else seemed to like it though.

[Dan]

Signed. Got to be worth a go.

[jmono84]

Signed

[VIKTOR-LE5]

Signed, done my brothers also, without permission..

[Ginger_Filbert]

Signed. But why is it only aiming for 100 signatures?

[Guest bss9401]

Leftover Cuties' version for me. 

Definitely not Jersey Budd. That one's pub singer standard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Arkie Bennett]

Not the Jersey Budd opportunist effort - it's not even the right melody.

[Buce]

Not the best version (that would be Loius Armstrong, for sure) but tempo-wise, this is perfect to get people singing it properly:

 

 

[FoxInTheBoxes]

We need to make this happen!

[Channy'sboots]

Signed. Let’s get this going

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Jersey Budd's version can actually be belted which can't be said about most versions! 

[Bayfox]

I'll sign but I raised this at one of the your 90 mins and was basically laughed off by the club staff which I think speaks volumes about the gulf  between the staff and the fans.

[Hollyfox]

Does anyone know the words? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

?

[linemakers]

Anyone know when and why we first sang WYS ?

[SystonFox]

“Jersey budd is pub singer standard”

 

i wasnt aware we had a load of Andrea Bocelli amongst our ranks in the king power?!?!

 

pub singer is exactly the style we want not Doris bastard Day.

 

WHEN YER SMILIN WHEN YER SMILIN.

 

someone posted an incredible YouTube clip of some boozed up old boys singing it down pub once and it sounds terrible but it’s so much a football chant version it’s unreal. You can tel people in the next room are thinking “oh no not these dick-eds”

[Plastik Man]

I actually think it would be better played after the final whistle.

 

A lot of European teams seem to play old or traditional songs after their games have finished, which seems to work well.

 

I think it it would fit well whilst we applaud the players or wait miserably to stumble down to the concourse and off home,whether we win or lose, we'll keep on smiling.

When was the last time rock in all over the world was played post match? I remember hearing it against spurs in 2006 the de vries game but not since. However I wasn’t at every home game since so if someone can enlighten me?

 

status quo post match was class. Was it played at Wembley in the 90s?

[yorkie1999]

Doris day!!! ffs, sing a long to that.. not

This be me:

 

 

[Finnegan]

I know I'm in a minority but please no. 

 

It's shit. It sounds shit. It's never worked. The reason it never really catches on with everyone is because it just doesn't sound good. It's a forced tradition that mostly millennial fans want to drive because they want us to have something to rival the great anthems of other clubs.

 

But that's the problem, it's not an anthem. It's not anthemic. The closest version that's ever been to an anthem was Jersey Budd and that's ****ing vile. That level of cheese is what you'd need to make it  "epic" and none of us want that. 

 

I would 100% much rather everyone got behind a Kasabian song, LSF had an amazing vocal hook that sounds superb at Kasabian concerts. That's far more Leicester than WYS will ever be and actually sounds far better. 

 

I do appreciate this is a hugely unpopular opinion but still. Soapbox rant over.

@Walkers why the ?

I'm sorry but I'm not a fan of the "quo". It was definitely played at Wembley though, I remember Liveaid! ?
