The first time I recall hearing it, was the 0-0 draw at the madeski, reading. This woukd be about 12 years ago. We nearly nicked it at the end but our goal was disallowed.

When did the ALLLLLLLBBBIIIIIERRRN ALLBIIIERRRN chant start?
- Thread starter carteater
- Start date
So am I.
It might well have fallen into disuse by the Cup Final though, along with many, many others. The thing is to work out when Liverpool first started using it and then we'd have followed suit (the bit about us picking it up from the TV is definitely true). The thing is (and why I said only 99.99%) is I can't definitely remember singing it, whereas I can remember singing (off the top of my head) You'll never walk alone, Daisy, Knees up Mother Brown, Molly Malone, **** 'em all, 2,4,6,8, Bow legged chicken, Go left, etc. If those come back someone in the future will say "When did we first start singing 'You'll never walk alone'? Was it 2016?"

This is the right answer.
Personally I prefer the old-school Goldstone style, sung the same way as 'Going Up'.....
Yay! That's currently about 5-2 to the 'Goldstone days' team!
EDIT: Maybe I should say 'Old Goldstone days' team as people don't seem to recall it being used in the final years.

You old gits are getting confused about different chants...Yay! That's currently about 5-2 to the 'Goldstone days' team!

The slow chant we sing now is not the same as the slow chant we used to sing at The Goldstone.
Don't ever remember it at the Goldstone. I remember the "here we go" version with clapping and (among others) "come and join us over 'ere", "you're going home in a Sussex Ambulance", "PC Beard My Lord". "and do they smell" and "celery". But never heard the dirge version till Withdean. Was I stood in the wrong place? (I would think many would say from the songs I remember I was stood in exactly the right place 
)

1970. No chanting or replica shirts before then, just rattles and abuse. ( I've no idea really)

I remember belting out the slow version at The Goldstone. It was more 'Aaaaaal-baaaaaay-eeeeeeern' back then, though. I know that because I've been too sad to sing at a match since the first season at The Priestfield.
It won't be there because it was not a dull, boring game where hardly a soul was singing. Back at the Goldstone it only ever came out when we were playing poorly and the atmosphere had all but evaporated.

Sometimes got sung after the West Stand could be heard all around The Goldstone piping up with "Come On Brighton , Come On Brighton , Come On Brighton"

I am fairly sure I heard it in the 80s.

That was all ' we are Brighton Super Brighton' to the tune of sailing.

Now that's a chant that should go back to its roots. The fast version now doesn't have the same oomph.

Not forgetting the other West Stand Classics, "Come on you Blues" and "Oh My, What a Referee!"
