You may be right, but for a different reason ...

"Let all tonight then drink with me
To the football game we love,
And wish it may successful be
As other games of old,
And in one grand united toast
Join player, game and song
And fondly pledge your pride and toast
Success to the City club."

So - the whole song contemplates thinking about the future (1st verse) and the past (scoring etc, other verses) - the present not being at a match at all, but drinking and carousing generally, of an evening.
