| Utter, utter woke nonsense…. on 11:40 - Aug 20 with 3205 views | Radlett_blue | The problem isn't that the song is offensive, it's that it is regularly accompanied with explicit hostile chants directed at WBA. I personally abhor the juvenile playground name-calling directed at local rivals e.g. "die, Delia die". |  |

Don't they just shout 'fk off West Brom' during it? |  | |  |

….scenario though. Singing about an old woman dying is not the same as singing “F off West Brom”. This is the thin end of the wedge. UWN. |  |

Oh yes they did. https://wolvesforum.co.uk/thre I’m assuming that these Wolves fans know their stuff - it’s dated 2012 so before it become fashionable to call everything which some dislike as woke. By all accounts there were calls to ban the song in 2002. [Post edited 20 Aug 15:32]

Is there more to this song that I'm missing? Its been a staple at Wolves, West Brom, Chelsea for years. What's offensive about it? |  | |  |

….I was wrong, although there has obviously been requests to bring it back hence the announcement today. https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/ As others noted it’s sung pre-match at other grounds, with the same response. My point of where does it stop remains. UWN. |  |

Apparently as it is instumental, thousands of people would be shouting F West Brom. This was an issue for broadcasts, which led to complaints to and from West Midlands Police and West Brom. So more about broadcasting santitation. |  |

Right. I would understand it if the actual song contained such lyrics, but I can't help but think if fans want to shout / sing anti West Brom songs they're probably going to find a way to do it anyway. Seems a little ridiculous to me given there's nothing offensive about the actual song in question. |  | |  |

No, your point was to push culture wars propganda with a "Utter, utter woke nonsense" header. I don't believe this song meets the threashold for banning. |  |

WBA have definitely still been playing it fairly recently, as it was playing before we played them there 3yrs ago |  |

Doesn’t really remain. The ‘where will it end’ argument is what someone like Richard Littlejohn uses when he gets angry about something. |  | |  |

….online. Their fans think it’s hilarious that they play it and sing “F off The Wolves” while Wolves themselves have announced they won’t be reintroducing it. UWN. |  |
