Elvis - Episode One

Not sure that’s true, i thought both fans adopted it during the same time just after Elvis death.

Hull did drop the song for a good few years, before picking it up again.
They are a small club in a rugby league area who have only had 4 seasons in their entire history in the top flight, and WMS will always be associated with SAFC.

I just took it as an attempt at smart arse grammar pedantry which I do really dislike, and while I still don't entirely rule that out you've either styled it out really well or it was an audacious bit of wit on your part and I've misread it entirely and done you a huge disservice.

I think this sentence is far too long. You should maybe consider not using 'and' so much, and use more full stops.

Really need the 'like a river flows' verse to become standard as part of our singing it as well, really build to a crescendo, prolong the whole ground choir. Fitting that the club is on the balls of the River Wear that 'flows surely to the sea' as well. Words on the big screens for a few weeks until everyone gets it?

Like the Wear flows,
Surely to the sea,
Sunderland, so it goes,
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,
Take my whole life too,
For I can’t help
Falling in love with you

Sing that loud and proud and that’s hairs on the back of the neck standing up time

Love it. Can anyone on here with connections to the club get this up on the big screens karaoke style for the first few home games.

With Hull City coming up and having the same song as us, it’s a great opportunity for us to really claim it as our own.

I think if you asked a thousand random football fans “which club has wise men say as their theme tune?”, I reckon 989 would say Sunderland and 10 would say Hull and a Liverpool fan from Surrey would have no idea whatsoever
