And did this happen when they did used to play it?

No, but a lot more people did join in with it across a wider section of the crowd. It sometimes takes a night like Thursday to push things into the hearts and culture of the club. The more people see that clip on social media the more will join in because it looked and sounded great and they’ll want to recreate something.
 

Hopefully the same will happen for LSF now. Especially if you could get different sections of the crowd doing to each other, call and response style.

Club have had it requested to them countless times, just not arsed I think. Sad really.

Which is weird as they commissioned that version of the song. Long time ago now granted.

Jersey budd version or Louie Armstrong (or similar). I suspect it was the latter which could possibly be why.  Asking for Budds version, citing psv, might swing it more.

We were going out for a meal Thursday night so left after the game and had BBC radio Leicester on in the car. While Pipes was speaking, you could actually hear the fans singing blaring through. Recognised the Jersey Budd version straight away. 

 

I was always surprised we got rid of it completely tbh and didn't even get an airing after the FA Cup final when club songs are usually played

It sounds so much better like this then how it's usually sang in L1. I'd be in favour of it being used more if it were like this.

This is really doing the rounds on Social Media. No way the club won’t be aware of the request. Fingers crossed.

I've never liked the Jersey budd version, but I think it works better in terms of it seems longer and slower.  The problem with the proper and best version is our fans want to sing it at 200 mph, and by the time other parts of the kop realise its being sung its already finished.  What I would say, is when this was first brought out a few years ago, the club did play it before a few games and it never really caught on.

A good point.

 

tbh I didn't like the Jersey Budd version when I first heard it.   But times change ... and we've shown that we're utterly incapable of singing the original (better) version at its proper speed.   No matter how many times fans have been told, you can't rush it ... that's what they do.   It's gabbled and rushed, and totally un-singable in the modern "sing it as fast as you can version".

 

So we might as well start again from scratch, and I think the JB version could catch on.

Looks like around 500 signed that petition, we'd need way more to get any actual action

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

Absolutely right ask anyone who was at PSV after the game when they played the Jersey Budd version.It sounded great with everyone singing it👍🏻🦊💙

[Vlad the Fox]

Let’s have it today, get it started.

[ealingfox]

They did it then...

[jeffschlupp]

With time I think this will sound class. Hope they continue it through every game and it becomes our thing

[LFox99]

Yeah just need to keep playing it before and after every game, it'll catch on 

As much as Anfield's atmosphere can be a bit of a myth at times, they always give 100% for you never walk alone, I want the same at the KP

Big fan of that tonight, it's the best version to get us our identity in a song back again.

[Corky]

Good to hear.

 

If they bin off Sweet Caroline then we're getting somewhere.

[coolhandfox]

Think they took fans by surprise with it, play it every week it will be rocking.

[OntarioFox]

Can't believe Jersey Budd made me cry. I've gone soft. Sounded great in SK1.

Talking of football anthems this is the best in my opinion. Absolutely pisses all over you'll never walk alone.

 

....I admire their ability to stay in tune, but that is so dreary, I could not listen to that for 4 minutes!!!

...they use to play it before, not sold on it, a bit of a hatchet job on the song!!!

The problem it seems is the original tune is sung too fast, but it is surely a lot better than the JB version.
