[Albion] The words to Sussex by the Sea on the big screens

[JonnyComeEarly]

Surely enough is enough now. Please for the love of all things can someone with connections to the people at the club ask them to remove the words off the screen. Please!!

I think 36,000 of us proved at Wembley that we can sing our own main song without words!!

It's a bit embarrassing now to have those words appear on the main screens every pre-game.

Also, any chance we can remove all the loud music on the build up to kick off so we can create a natural atmosphere.

Such an amazing time for us fans, so these little tweaks would be the icing on a very tasty cake.

Think we’ve proved enough times at home we can’t keep in time even though it’s blasted over a PA system

 

[Weststander]

Some fans are faking it.

 

[Springal]

Vast majority of fans around me at Wembley definitely didn’t know the words!

 

[Sheebo]

Vast majority of fans around me at Wembley definitely didn’t know the words!

Wont even ask how you managed to check every single person around and had the time to have this thought and notice
Let alone get lost in the moment and belt out our song

Don't like it? Don't look at them!

 

[Stat Brother]

Quite right too, what with the Stadium being a closed shop with only Goldstone lifers allowed in

 

[Farehamseagull]

Does it really matter either way?

Absolutely and as for the growing percentage of non-English speaking fans who love following their fellow Countrymen playing for BHA, we should not only remove the English but sing it in other languages too so they can join in …

(Oh, in case any English speaking fan finds singing in a language that is non-native too difficult, the words appearing on the screen below maybe helpful…)

¡Oh Sussex, Sussex junto al mar!
¡El bueno de Sussex junto al mar!
Puedes decirles todo lo que estamos de pie o caemos,
Para Sussex junto al mar.

Oh Sussex, Sussex am Meer!
Das gute alte Sussex by the Sea!
Du kannst ihnen alles sagen, wir stehen oder fallen,
Für Sussex am Meer

Or how about this …


おおサセックス、サセックス・バイ・ザ・シー！
古き良きサセックス・バイ・ザ・シー！
私たちが立っているか倒れているかをすべて彼らに伝えることができます。
サセックス・バイ・ザ・シーへ。

That's funny as if sounded very loud and proud when belted out at Wembley

Goodness me!

How bored must you have been to translate GOSBTS into Spanish, German and Japanese?

Marvellous effort.

 

[BBassic]

Agree about the pre-match music. I like the words on the screen though. It helps new fans learn them, younger fans learn them.

But crucially - I could not give less of a f*** about what opposition fans think about it nor what may or may not be "embarrassing" at a football match.

Exactly this. Life is much better when you stop worrying about such things.

30 seconds with cutting and pasting using google translate

But yes, I don’t have that much to do at 06.00hrs on a Bank Holiday morning tbh

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Even with the words up, 99% of the crowd STILL sing them wrong!

…song, as we March along, of Sussex by the sea…

The next line is “Sussex, Sussex by the sea”, NOT “Good old Sussex by the sea”

 

[jonny.rainbow]

35,999 fans still sing “Good old Sussex by the Sea” when the line is Oh Sussex, Sussex by the Sea”.

I think we need to keep the words on the screen.

 

[Eeyore]

Does it really matter either way?

Strangely, it does to me. It gives the impression we are being taught a song. The song we all know and is special to us.

As for the 'good old' bit. I like that as a substitute to the original.

 

[Bob!]

I think we need to keep the words on the screen.

And we're going to keep on singing 'Good old Sussex by the Sea '

I think we need to change the words on the screen.

 

[Justice]

Going up to win the cup I always sing that because I like it

 

[BN9 BHA]

How many people actually knew the proper words before we played at the Amex?
I definitely didn’t (bad fan and Sussex person) I should be sent over to Kent to live.

Seriously we all sang going up to win the cup for years.
