how the feck can the proper words be "inappropriate"??
Absolutely.
It is our ANTHEM-it's not some X Factor karaoke singer's first over-hyped single. If the young kids don't like it-tough. They'll get used to it and should eventually understand that this piece of music is OURS.
Excellent work guys.
This needs to be happening.
To all of you who think the word 'gay' is inappropriate, that isn't our problem-no original words should be changed. Ever.

NO F***ING DRUMS AT THE AMEX.
EVER!
(Except when there's a marching band performing Sussex By The Sea on the pitch).

I just meant nine bangs at the end of the video which would get the chant going. If you're going to have karaoke at the football you can hardly moan about 9 loud bangs being cringey.
Bang on

Agree whole heartedly. Words HAVE to be kept as they were written. I'm not particularly religious yet still sing 'god save our holy queen'
Really??

Bad news I'm afraid. The first response from the club about this has been a very brief, very negative, and dismissive e-mail from Ken Brown (Managing Director). He only used a couple of lines but did manage to mention the previous negative feedback from fans about "words on the screens" - so he obviously hasn't understood at all well the unique character of this proposal. Furthermore, he made no reference to the petition or to the quality of the presentation - all in all (as an Australian cricketer would say) it is "a little disappointing"...
What next? It is completely understandable that the senior management team at the club have got more important issues to deal with at the moment and are extremely busy - it is hard to see past this. In light of this, I replied to Ken Brown asking him if the matter can possibly be delegated and re-visited by someone else at the club - someone who might have a little bit more time to consider the proposal and to discuss it, at least to the point of explaining the decision making process.
So it's wait and see again now then, but not looking good.

Perhaps thr club will reconsider and I shall keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for you efforts, top drawer.

That's a shame. I think it's a great idea and a long way from displaying "SEAGULLS" when we are awarded a corner (Naff). Fingers crossed that they reconsider. Thanks for you fine effort. Top drawer.
Brown completely misunderstanding things again then and showing how out of touch with the fans he is. Maybe we should get an opera singer instead.
Good idea. The opera singer was quality.

A real shame and a set back, But we must keep on with this. GOSBTS is not a poor 'Seagulls, Seagulls' when we have a corner, It is our anthem and it must be worth a least one try. If the reaction is negative scrap it, But we all know it wont be.

I really would love to know what Brown understands or even knows about the heritage of BHAFC as he sits in 1st class on the train going to away games no doubt on club expenses.
You have an issue with him going to away games on expenses? That is a seriously strange thing to say. Do you think he wants to trek all the way up to Middlesbrough on a Saturday a couple of weeks before Christmas to watch the club he doesn't even support? I very much doubt it, but it's his job, why the hell should he be expected to pay to do it out of his own pocket?
But I agree with the first part of your post. Him responding by saying they had negative feedback when they put words on the screen before is just basically saying he didn't read the email or the petition and didn't bother to watch the presentation. Which is pretty lame in my book.

I agree with this. It can be excused within the context of all the excellent work that continues to go into making The AMEX so amazing and for which, presumably, Mr Brown has prime responsibility.
I think that the SBTS AV Presentation still has legs and massive potential, but it needs to be picked up on by someone at the club who has more time to look at it properly, and who is more persuaded by the groundswell of Albion fan opinion and tradition. Hopefully this will happen at some point - it is obviously naive to expect anything to happen quickly so we will need to consider this campaign as unfolding over a longer timeframe.
I also agree with Drumstick, and I think this can be the main thrust of the campaign now, that it should at least be given a try. If it doesn't work very well then they don't need to do it again, but it could be very, very good so why not try it?
