Brighton factually.....
I was wondering how it would be received if at all possible a reading of the poem "Sussex by the Sea" maybe Fat Boy or Attila could read it....

might just give us a bit more passion...

First Verse
Now is the time for marching,
Now let your hearts be gay,
Hark to the merry bugles
Sounding along our way.
So let your voices ring, my boys,
And take the time from me,
And I’ll sing you a song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea!

Chorus
For we're the men from Sussex, Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
And useful men are we;
And when you go to Sussex, whoever you may be,
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea!

Refrain
Oh Sussex, Sussex by the Sea!
Good old Sussex by the Sea!
You may tell them all we stand or fall,
For Sussex by the Sea.

Second Verse
Up in the morning early,
Start at the break of day;
March till the evening shadows
Tell us it's time to stay.
We're always moving on, my boys,
So take the time from me,
And sing this song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea.


Third Verse
Sometimes your feet are weary,
Sometimes the way is long,
Sometimes the day is dreary,
Sometimes the world goes wrong;
But if you let your voices ring,
Your care will fly away,
So we'll sing a song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea.


Fourth Verse
Light is the love of a soldier,
That's what the ladies say -
Lightly he goes a wooing,
Lightly he rides away.
In love and war we always are
As fair as fair can be,
And a soldier boy is the ladies’ joy
In Sussex by the Sea.

Fifth Verse
Far o'er the seas we wander,
Wide thro’ the world we roam;
Far from the kind hearts yonder,
Far from our dear old home;
But ne'er shall we forget, my boys,
And true we'll ever be
To the girls so kind that we left behind
In Sussex by the Sea.

I like the idea but I think it would be better to go for maximum intimidation. SHow the 'Imch by Inch' video, then the 'Albion history' video with added Zamora goals (Derby don't like Bobby), then the loudest most bass heavy version of Right Here, Right NOw' in the history of the universe. Then GOSBTS with the cut out at exactly the right time and the lyrics on the big screens. Yes, I've been thinking about this too much to try to dissipate the tension.

Not sure 'Boro would allow us to do all this.

Its not a poem though is it its a song? (unless I'm mistaken) Just cant see it being that inspiring if its just recited? Show them inch by inch or some other mastery?

You're aware Norm doesn't sing or even speak on his records? #shy&retiringnotnaturallyinspiring

damn Derby I meant too late to change that Mods ???

Idiot, I am an idiot !!

:lol:

I did wonder! Had images of Norman Cook somewhere in the away stand, holding his hand aloft, asking for a bit of quiet. Tapping his wine glass with a knife, that kind of thing.

And you're suggesting Attila? Nah, you're ok thanks. The less cringeworthy shite from our "poet in residence" the better.

The loudest most bass heavy version of Right Here, Right NOw' in the history of the universe.

Like this?
I probably should have left the house this afternoon instead of doing this.
