Sussex by the Sea

British Bulldog · Mar 15, 2016

Needs new words.

Sing out your hearts for Brighton
Let all your hearts sing free
Sing out your hearts for Brighton
Up from division Three

Now let your voice ring out my friends
And raise a glass with me
For we're going up and we'll win the cup
For Sussex by the Sea.

There's got to be better than that effort.

Can we have the thumbs down back please @Bozza?

What, pray, is wrong with the staple 'Der der der der der der' version?

British Bulldog · Mar 15, 2016

Would be nice to have a decent anthem that gets the fans going though. :down:

I like the history to the song.
No chance of changing it.

I'd suggest creating a new one rather than ripping apart a 100+ year old anthem.

It sounds like it gets the fans going in most games already. Why try to fix what ain't broken?

Only at the start though, After that I've been to livelier funerals.

So how would changing the words make it any better? Fans will sing what they want to sing, and when they want to sing it.
How many chants do you start?

It is fine in it's original form.

I think it's the type of support we have at Brighton rather than the song choice available.
We're not a raucous crowd by any means, for better or for worse.

We're quite good compared to some clubs. I really don't get the complaining about us.

No Stand or Fall.

Fail.

Fail.

Some people still insist on 'going up etc...' even when 'STAND OR FALL' is quite clearly on the screen... which I find mildly irksome!

Just something that will get the fans up on their feet and make it intimidating for the opposition, Other grounds do it.

Yep, we're not loud but certainly not shy.

Never going to happen though.
1000 loud supporters aren't going to be heard 130-140 meters across the stadium.

That's why we're given clackers. :shootself

Livelier funerals isn't exactly flattering.

Yep, I did a whole thread on this recently and many posters here said they still sing 'going up' rather than words on screen. I really think it would sound so much better if fans belted out the stand or fall words.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
