Sheffieldblue Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 Trouble with Hi Ho Silver Lining is it just ends abruptly, Perhaps its time to revert to :- Hi Ho Sheffield Wednesday, Every where we go there's agro, i see your boots are flashing, We're going Shoreham Bashing! Or maybe not Quote

However, not at the expense of Hi Ho. So yes. You’re being a miserable twat. 😀 1 1 Quote

owl71 Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 We always sing it at away games, including the second verse. We never sing “we are the owls”. If they stopped playing Hi Ho before kick off we’d still sing it anyway. Quote
Tylluan Posted September 14, 2022 Posted September 14, 2022 I think I'd quite like it if once in a while they played all the old Wednesday songs in the run up to the warm up, like when We Are The Owls was played at the Wycombe game. It'd take me back to standing on the Kop from about 2pm when I was a kid. But if I had to choose one it'd be Paul Carrack's It's a praise for Sheffield Wednesday. Just that Bob Jackson intro is enough for me. 1 Quote

Or am I just been a miserable old twat. just think it’d be much better to play singing the blues, or one of the old Thompson twins Wednesday songs before ko I’ve been thinking similar lately. When I’m at an away game and they have a pre-match ritual, it all seems a bit tin pot. Hi Ho is getting much the same. I think my problem with it is that it with the first Hi Ho many sit down and shut up. I try to get the second Hi Ho before kick off, but I’m in a small minority. It’s all become a bit orchestrated, as though we’re told to sing it and then we’re confused as to what next. But on the other hand. It’s the only time when everyone, directors box included, joins in. And several players have said how inspires them. So for those reasons, carry on. Quote

The Internet Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 I'm an old fashioned bugger as well. Don't like any walk-on music or Hi Ho and all that stuff. Drowns out any spontaneity and soul. Should be just players sprinting out of the tunnel towards the Kop with the roar of the crowd and whatever song or chants the fans feel like singing. Quote

bricat Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Interesting comments in the press and various footballer autobios of visiting teams getting totally nervous when they hear Hi Ho , at great volume, in their dressing room immediately before kick off. Edited September 15, 2022 by bricat Quote
Paul from Wisewood Posted September 15, 2022 Author Posted September 15, 2022 Don’t know why, it’s camp as fuck Quote
Skamp Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 It's not played whilst they're still in the dressing room. Quote

Ya miserable old bugger. 😜 Haha! No, not the Sherlocks kit one - that was very good, a few other media videos have had what is blatantly the video editor's taste in music on them, which have been crap. All for supporting Sheffield acts IF they have talent. Quote
Otto_Man Posted September 17, 2022 Posted September 17, 2022 No hi ho today and we serve up that performance, two things definitely linked... 1 Quote
