GOSBTS will never be sung SLOWLY.

[GoldWithFalmer]

I think they can if enough people want to make it happen. Spurs used to to sing "Oh when the Saints" at a much faster tempo, they've slowed it right down and when the whole stadium sing it is a magnificent sound.

It's OURS,is unique and would blow the Love you song out of the water for good.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It's OURS,is unique and would blow the Love you song out of the water for good.

There's room for both.

The fact that Ashley Barnes can score a goal doesn't stop me enjoying Kazenga LuaLua do the same thing a bit later.

 

[Napper]

I like the fast version. Don't get this NSC fascination myself

 

[Diego Napier]

I like the fast version. Don't get this NSC fascination myself

I suppose it's all about tradition and the emotional impact, a bit like "Abide with Me" or "Nessun Dorma" losing all their impact if they were speeded up

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

There's room for both.

The fact that Ashley Barnes can score a goal doesn't stop me enjoying Kazenga LuaLua do the same thing a bit later.

Absolutely-i like the Love you song,fair play to Palace for being among the first to use it,even better for us to pinch it from them-either way the North is top dogs for me at the moment.

The other confusing thing about SBTS is that the "GOSBTS" bit comes after TWO bits of preamble (which each have different tunes).

As written:-

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.

For we're the men from Sussex
Sussex by the sea,
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
And useful men we are we:
And when you go from Sussex,
Whoever you may be,
You tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the sea.

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

Most people seem to want a premature ejaculation of the GOSBTS bit.

If we are going to carry on singing GOSBS we have got to do better than the pathetic efforts at the Withdean, or we will be a laughing stock.Lets sing it properly like we mean it or not at all

 

[ngood77]

We're the team from Sussex
Sussex by the sea.
E-le-ven players and a crowd, Who'll roar them to victory.
So shout you fans and make them score,
Clap your hands until they're sore.
Clap, Clap, Clap.
Cos we're going up and we'll win the cup,
For Albion by the sea.

We're the team from Brighton,
Hove by jove thats us.
We're always fair, we never swear,
But now its hit or bust .
So shout you fans and make them score,
Clap your hands until they're sore.
Clap, Clap, Clap.
Cos we're going up and we'll win the cup,
For Albion by the sea.
