If you are not happy with the anthem being played wait outside for 5 minutes. There is a protocol here and the reputation of the club is at stake. If you care for the club do the sensible thing.

That’s my main concern, the whole world is watching the UK atm, we could ruin our reputation for years to come all because a few ppl can’t be silent for 3/4 mins

But we play in the English league and are a UK team
I’m not bothered by the song itself, I’d sit through it. My concern is that it will very likely attract boos from some of our fans which isn’t going to do our reputation any good at all.

Asking me to sing God Save The King would be like asking me the sing the The Star-Spangled Banner or the La Marseillaise or the Deutschlandlied or the Japanese national anthem, it's just not my national anthem.

But you don’t have to sing it, just be respectful whilst it’s played. Don’t think anyone will be expecting the whole ground to participate. Just be respectful is all
I could never sing it but I’d stand and be respectful.
We’ve all got out individual feelings and reasons why we got there. If you’d asked the 18year old me is have said no way, but I’ve grown up since then.
Mates who’ve been in the forces have talked to me about their feelings on GSTQ and I’ve softened.
Booing it would make us look like small minded bigots. This is a unique occasion.

If people don't sing it there doesn't seem much point in playing it, it's Englands national anthem it's seen as Englands national anthem and if the football authorities had any sense they would say to any Welsh teams playing at home during this mourning period, would you like to sing your own national anthem (Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau) as a tribute to the Queen.
I'm sure that would be acceptable to most and would have a big take up of participants.

Yes I have lived in England for a few years but would still not sing GSTQ.
We had a street party for the jubilee and nearly all the street sung it I was to busy sinking a few trying to calm my nerves for the Wales v Ukraine game.
A few came in the house and cheered Wales on which wss nice a good bunch.
More British teams in the World cup the better.
But singing the anthem is a step to far for me don't mind listening to it and never booed it.

We've been taking the knee for an American criminal, every home and away game for over 2 years, with very little booing, I do think the Queen deserves at least one game where we show respect.
If you don't want to sing, don't, if you don't want stand, sit, but please, please show a little respect for one game and no booing.

I must have missed my vocation in life, I always seem to pick you up on technicalities, it's lucky you don't face me in a courtroom every week you would never win a case, lol, it's the United Kingdom's national anthem.

play it, people who don't like should be entitled to make their views known,
minutes silence for a dead person, be less sympathetic to that not been observed, but again, ultimately if people want to signal dislike of something she has done, then up to them.
a public persona has to expect to take the rough with the smooth.
personally I'd just be respectful and if I felt strongly enough about the whole thing find other ways to make my point.
this wall to wall assumption that anyone deserves respect tends to provoke the rebel in me.
