No disrespect to the WW1 soldiers, but as a modern football song?

Ever since I heard it back in the 1970's I've felt it was a drear, depressive, barely relevant football song.

I'd rather hear Fat Boy Slim's 'Praise You' booming out before they run out, or summat like that.

GOSBTS hardly fires up the players and crowd, does it?

Ah, it's been a while since this old chestnut of a thread topic raised it's ugly head. Fortunately it always gets the same result.

GOSBTS FOR EVER !

What's all this nonsense about it being a WW1 song? It was written in 1907 to celebrate the wedding of the composer's sister-in-law to a Captain in the Royal Sussex Regiment.

GOSBTS is one of the highlights of a day out at the Amex for me. Certainly in recent months, someone's it has been THE highlight

If it has the capacity to render HB&B unconscious, I'm all for it.

It's what sets us apart from the likes of Palace.

It's our song, end of.

Is it possible to cork wine that comes in a carton?

On last week's episode of Death in Paradise a few bars of GOSBTS were played in the background by a West Indian brass band.
It's a world heritage tune.
