I remember Hull away 2009 or 2010 ish and it was played over the tannoy pre match and our away fans completely took over the song while they stopped, even after the match kicked off. There’s a video of it on YouTube, I’m actually on it.

I remember last time we were in the PL Hill fans were fuming at us for claiming it was ours.
Unfortunately for them since then we’ve done some pretty impressive social media marketing around it, especially last season in the PL, and also the Elvis shirts coming out next season - I think in the eyes of most neutrals it’s ours and looks like they’re copying us when they sing it this season.

I think pre-social media most fans wouldn’t necessarily associate the song with us if I’m honest.
Same as other clubs and songs/ chants that I only know of social media/ videos over the years

Sheff United were singing "Take my hand, take my whole life too" in the early 80s when I started watching them.... they never sing "wise men say only fools rush in"

I only found out it was yours from here tbf 
Think that's the part we sang traditionally, but it's the wise men say part they play pre match for some reason.

Would be no doubt at all if the egg chasing scum bothered to follow their local football club instead of f***ing Leeds and Liverpool ffs. Would need to make XL seats for their fat arses mind

I would expect the League to give them a points deduction and make them play the rest of their home games behind closed doors if that happens
Ramone
Central Defender
Where are the Palace fans with this, noticed they like to do their version now and again. Recently in Dortmund with an Everton fan, after match singalong and my pal had his Everton shirt out. He was just shouting the word shite when they all started with You’ll Neverr Walk Alone. They strangely loved him.

I was at Hull away in the 77/78 season, just after Elvis died in the August.
SAFC were there in huge numbers as per usual, and "Can't help falling in love" was played over the PA system.
BOTH sets of supporters joined in and sang it.
So in my opinion Hull have just as much rights to sing it as we do.

I might be slightly out with my years then mate because it definitely wasn’t either of those scorelines. Can’t even remember what it was tbh but I would have remembered 4 or 5 goals. It was a boiling hot day in May at the end of the season I think, sure we wore a white away strip.
Edit: just checked. Won 1-0 Darren Bent. 24th April 2010.
