Oh - and The Winner's Song by Ralph McTell before kick off. It was played every game at the Goldstone when we had our massive unbeaten home run. Dreadful dirge but lucky!



The Winner’s Song
b/w
Geordie's on the Road

Ralph based 'The Winner's Song' on a TV jingle he'd written to advertise Skol lager

Am interested in the prospect of a new song to celebrate the remarkable success against the odds of true fans and real football. Thanks again to all those who played their part, large or small, in keeping our club alive and getting us to Falmer. Gonna be some party

 

[JBizzle]

I'm really sorry but I passionately hate it. I actually dread it whenever we win. I do hate Ska though.

 

[Turkey]

I love hearing it when we win! Keep playing it! The Final Countdown before kick off is great too Plus the great escape and Praise You by Fatboy (perhaps last game).

 

[little al]

Can't we have something upbeat... like Glad all Over?

[8ace]

Spin it.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Please, no ! Just bin it - it's awful.

 

[Return of the Rev]

i would like"Slip inside this house" by (The 13th floor elevators) please or richard hell singing blank generation

 

[Hotchilidog]

let's win it then spin it!

 

[Johnny Fever]

I promise I will never, ever play music after we score. We've been through this one before: the initial inspiration for the HIT was hearing other teams play 'Tom Hark', a Brighton song (or a Brighton version of a South African song) by a Brighton band, at us when THEY'd scored. Music after goals sucks unspeakable things in hell.

Thank goodness.
It's one of many so called innovations in recent years that have attempted to turn our national game into an American sport. At the risk of being shot down here I would include dancing girls before kick-off in that list.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Could we have the Donkey Derby when we win and Palace lose?

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Won't be shot down by me, Mr Fever. I'm sure they're top chicks and all that, but dancing girls have no place in football. I'd be rid of them as well. All this stuff - three bloody mascots prancing about, dancing girls, pre-planned music being played after a home win, we're in danger of becoming Yanks or, worse, Reading.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

As long as you PROMISE to NEVER play music after a goal, you can play whatever you like when we WIN.

DEAL?

 

[wigman]

Spin it.

....or even worse MK Dons. Away game last season. Right at the end of the first half there was an on-field incident that led to the usual pushing and shoving involving a number of players. Arismendi was red-carded and then the referee blew for half time. Cue loud music, a marching band and mascots; what a bloody circus. And the arguments over the sending off continued on the field with the officials and half the players stlii there by the goal line. God forbid that the match should hold up the the Disney entertainment eh.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Never saw that, as I won't go to MK Dons. But it's exactly the sort of shit that's starting to infest the game. A marching band should be reserved for the Cup Final, where, oddly, they've dropped it, as far as I know. God forbid we should let tradition have any place in football.

And yes, I'm aware this makes me sound like a grumpy old sod. That's exactly what I am.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Spin it - it's class. I always forget about it in the inevitable tension towards the end of a game then get surprised when it suddenly appears. Although not as surprised as some of the aging denizens of the North stand used to when rocket man used to do his thing - can't we bring that back too?

 

[Johnny Fever]

On the other hand, I have to say Rocket Robin was mildly entertaining just before kick off on Saturday. Video anyone?

 

[HG201]

Would be quite good at Full Time, aslong as it doesnt make its way to after everu goal scored aswell
