    Agree! Fantastic song but completely irrelevant to the Bloods and what they're trying to do on game day.

    Would be good if someone from the club could read this and respond to the overwhelming dislike of this song on match day

    A few tragics here overreacting to the short snippet of a song at quarter time doesn't compare to the thousands that enjoy it and sing along with it, taking it for the silly little interlude that it's meant to be.

    Well according to the Sweet Caroline poll, only 3 out of 31 who voted want the song to remain.
    So perhaps a little more than a 'few' tragics.
    You would hope that those who bother to come here are a fair representation of Swans supporters....

    The great majority of the crowd at any Swans game of the last few years have sung along and seeemed to enjoy it.

    Not sure why some people here are getting so angry about it.

    The great majority? I reckon there are about 5 people within the five or so bays in the O'Reilly around me who sing along. So maybe 1 or 2% of that section of the crowd...

    Not sure where you're getting angry from.
    The title of the thread is pretty self explanatory.

    What did you expect to read here?
    You've made your POV pretty clear. You like the song, you think discussing its removal is "tragic" and making people "angry"
    Yet you seem to be the only one getting upset with the discussion.

    Perhaps just don't open the thread?
    I doubt the negative comments about the song are going to stop.
    It will likely just frustrate you more....

    I'll never complain about Sweet Caroline again after hearing what West Coast have planned. Apparently before the bounce, everyone must stand on one leg, flap their arms and scream "I'm a Weagle! I'm a Weagle!" then pash the person standing next to them. Tru fax.

    Ew, imagine having to kiss a Weagle! They really shouldn't be encouraged to breed.

    So if today�s vote can be believed (and I�m a little dubious) Sweet Caroline is the crowd�s singalong choice.

    What choices they gave. Love is in the air? Hotel California!

    Now sweet Caroline is by popular demand...

    ?? When was there a vote (other than on here)?

    I watched the crowd around me as the song played today. I swear there were precisely two people in my section of the O'Reilly singing along. Two.

    It was weird, they put the poll up just before they played it anyway, and then left it up afterwards. Then they played Livin' On A Prayer at 3/4 time (which we were by the as it turned out).
