- If You're All Going to Wembley Clap Your Hands
"If You're All Going To Wembley Clap Your Hands" is traditional football song, sung to the tune
She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain . It has many word variations.A football crowd will generally sing this song if their team are going to reach a "cup" final at
Wembley Stadium . The final could be any one played there from theFA Cup through to the Johnstone Paint Trophy. The clapping of hands by fans implies that they will loyally be going at the final.While Wembley was out of action (2000-2007), finals took place at Cardiff's
Millennium Stadium . So "Cardiff" was sung as the final venue instead."If you're all going to Wembley" clap your hands,"
"If you're all going to Wembley clap your hands,"
"If you're all going to Wembley,"
"All going to Wembley,"
"All going to Wembley clap your hands."
