First game at Falmer...

[Lammy]

I think it would great if we open the first game at Falmer with a brass band on the pitch and the full rendition of Sussex By the Sea. Lyrics on the seats and big screen (there will be a big screen I trust?)

What do you think?

 

[JJ McClure]

Do you think the opposition (who ever they maybe) would join in.

 

[Level 42]

Will there still be brass bands when Falmer is ready?

By then there will probably be a Jake Robinson stand!

 

[Braders]

hopefully a decent friendly !

 

[DTES]

A friendly brass band? Better than a really arrogant one I suppose.

I run the 176 Hove Air Training Corp Military marching Band and play Sussex By the Sea. I'll make some enquiries!

Do you still practice in the building on the allotments off Holmes Avenue ? I used to live just near there as a kid (in the early 70's) and the ATC and the allotments were always a source of entertainment!

 

[berkshire seagull]

May i suggest our opening friendly match be against palarse as thats opening in style and will give the old bill some clues to future disturbances.

Yes, I used to be drum major there about 5 years ago. After I left the band fell apart but I have got it running again over the last 6 months.

Surely with Mr Maghee in charge we could enjoy the swirl of Pipe and Drum ( och aye ).

I do so love the sound of cats being strangled.

Perhaps we could also have the ceremonial ' entry of the haggis ' as they did in Dads Army once.

Bit optimistic isn't it, you guys having the same manager in 3 seasons time??

 

[Lammy]

we can dream can't we!

Yeah, the proper pre Cup Final words!

We're going up AND WE'LL win the cup!

f***ing newbies, get a few years in!

Nah

The first game should be against Donny Rovers

2 Reasons.

They were the last game at the Goldstone (RIP)

and

the next Season they saved us from going out of the league (and probably out of existence) by being even crapper than we were!!!!

 

[Kenhead]

yeah donny would be a good game there, it would be a pre-season friendly

 

[northstandnorth]

good old sussex by the sea is available as an mp3 by the HORSHAM BOROUGH SILVER BAND on winmx
they might be a good bet

 

[desprateseagull]

brass band> howsabout....

synchronised polyphonic tunes, d/loaded from the albion site- earn the club a few quid while being part of something 'big'
(maybe a world record, if the server could handle it...?)

and who would we play?

palarse?

gillingham?

liverpool?

(NSC allstars)


and will Jordan be guest of honour, kicking off the first game?
