well despite the Ultras taking a casualty in the form of losing the vote on 'the sing' to Thin Lizzy, I will still be singing The Impossible Dream.

Oh yeah, article in todays Star: Alex Ferguson has stated the Old Trafford faithfull need an anthem to sing as Liverpools' You'll Never Walk Alone can intimidate opponents, and, to a lesser extent West Ham and Bubble Blowing. He has, out of his own pocket, commissioned some mate of his to record a footbally version of the Andy Williams classic and expects 70 000 Mancs to turning this into their new song.

I for one hope that it goes off really well and becomes a modern day classic that football fans the world over know all the words too. Just so we can say that we were there first and got out voted. ;)

This would be a good choice while Glazer is in charge mate"The Impossible Dream" LOL:D :D
 
Maybe if the Andy Williams version was in the vote instead of that wimpy Carter effort it would have gathered more votes!
Impossible Dream would be immense for an anthem if only we could get everyone singing it!
There's 10-15 people in the Clayton end who sing in the first half at most, it's a real poor do. Me & my brother started a song in the main stand against Forest and got the strangest looks imaginable! ...like we were singing for the opposition...in swahili.

Yeah sitting at footie matches has killed the atmosphere for years.When I left Old Trafford to go watching F.C.United I was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere that could be created in lower league football:) :)
 
as most of you know, I will sing a song on my own whether Clayton End, Millenium Stadium or our moaning old main stand if you give me enough lager. Let me at em.

The only reason for this post really is that it is my 1000th and I need a post connected to footy,.

And you know I'll always sing it with you! Balls to Thin feckin' Lizzy!!

Although, if a few people start joining in with Cart on Stanley, I'd have no complaints with that becoming 'our anthem'

Dumbest post ever? Arguably...

Carter USM's version of Impossible Dream is supposed to sound very Karaoke, thats the whole point of it. I love Carter USM's version of it, and I've heard quite a few versions of it.

Also, the point that a lot of people seem to of missed, despite the fact I've pointed it out numerous times, is it's not the song itself, but the meaning thats the reason I wanted it to be played as the team ran out.
 
as well as the fact that the people who voted Thin Lizzy are mostly sitters whilst the majority of the singers voted for Impossible Dream. You sing yours and we'll sing ours. But it would be better if we had a working, loud tannoy behind us. Lets show the prawn sandwich munchers that we had the song first!

Personally I prefer the Andy Williams version of Impossible Dream, just has more uumph, the Carter version, to be honest reminds me of Joe Pasquale attempting to sing it :)

If the tannoy man can REALLY turn it up on the Clayton End, we'll get that going, no problem. By really turn it up, I mean full bloody blast, can never hear it behind the goals.

I did read your post Diesel but sorry I still don't get it, maybe it's my age :) but in my opinion (and thats what its all about - right?) the other version by Andy Williams is much better

I've no problem with your opinion, don't get me wrong. But what I'm saying, is people are slating it for the god-awful singing, when that is the Bands aim.

It's supposed to be a pub anthem, something you sing when drunk. Just like Hurry Up harry was, by Sham 69.

We'd have a much easier time getting an 'anthem' going on the terraces, rather than a 'crooner' version.

At the end of the day, the idea isn't for people to listen, it's for 'em to sing along, and try to make the FES a little more intimidating for opposition. Lets face it, Andy Williams is about as intimidating as Frank Spencer.
