A rare community singing sheet for the 1927 F.A. Cup semi-final Cardiff City v Reading played at Molineux, The tradition of community singing at the F.A. Cup final first took place in this year for the Arsenal v Cardiff City game at Wembley. Evidently, something of a dress rehearsal was organised at the Molineux semi-final. As this would have been a new experience for many spectators the songsheet was printed with four hints to singers: (1) The band will play the tune, or part of it, first, then you will get the signal to start from Mr. Casey, who will be up on his perch. (2) Don't forget to take that deep breath before you start. (3) Read the words, a line at a time and then look up to the Conductor to see how the tune is going along. (4) As before, like good footballers, play to the whistle.
