Just listened to the singing on the extended highlights on Seagulls Player... there is a bit of clapping, but the 'singing' is woeful.

We will see... but I thought the low key made it sound dull and impossible to sing for many people.

I wasn't convinced by that either.
The chronological idea is good, but I just rather liked it ending with "STOORRRREEEEEEEERRR" - seemed to just work in terms of a final boost to the pre kick-off atmosphere.

it sounds like a relegation anthem in that low key, perhaps thats what the club think will happen

Had trouble in the East Upper. Constant sound problems means we cant hear much anyway but GOSBTS was a shambles. Of the six people around me, none of us were clapping and singing together. Bring back the original.

Was at a music festival listening to the scores on the radio what happened?
BTW I took my bhafc hat, scarf and flag. Got some stick of stripey nigels mentioning the playoffs (But only when they were from a distance the soft surrey wankers.)

An explanation of the reason for the key change is posted in NSC's Articles section, here.
It includes actual YouTube recordings demonstrating why the original version's key has always been unsingable for the vast majority of the Amex crowd - and why the new key is far more suited to ordinary fans' untrained, natural voices.
The evidence is all there. Please take a look, and give it a try.

We seemed to be back to Bb this week... is that the end of the experiment?
The new version only lasted one game - we were back to the normal one for the Cheltenham game.

It needing moving lower. Perhaps not so low! Just a couple of semi tones was required...

i thought it sounded just fine on Saturday... it ranges between low Bb (which is pretty low) for the last note 'SEA' and D above middle C (which is pretty high) for the top note at the end of the verse 'GOING' - if you move it either way you just make a difficult range even more so.
