Come on YE Saints, who the hell decided that was the right thing to put on the boards under the stands - Shakespeare ? It’s You Saints always was and always should be.

If it were Shakespeare then it would be Come on the Saints as the Y in Ye from that time was a symbol called the thorn that represented 'th' .

But Shakespeare wrote in the idiom of his time, and if he had written it then it would have been "Ye"

The one that is on the wall is more based on the town-crier call of "hear ye" which was picked up by English fans and is still fukkin stupid
