Are we the fastest singers in the football league?

[bristolseagull]

Yesterday at FP- GOSBTS was, as per usual, sung way to fast as was the new northstand song (which incidentally I think is pretty good when sung at the correct speed). CMS and Casper chants was embarrassingly fast and also sounded stupid.

Away from home we have a pretty decent repertoire of songs- but why do we insist on singing so fast? I don't recall other teams ruining their songs by 100 miles an hour singing.....

Must be in the top ten

It's that large group of kids, they sing it fast and everyone seems to feel the need to keep up with them.

True, my first away game for 3 years and kept finding myself out of time with everyone else. I just think we have a lot of adrenaline in our veins right now!

Exactly this.perhaps us older ones should try and slow it down. Especially GOSBTS

Dunno, but we're certainly the most unimaginative.

Unfair.
I thought we had plenty yesterday. How many do Pompey sing?

Strawberry blonde, You're having a laugh...Better than any convoluted website song.

It was the "William buckley runs down the wing to me" and Craig Mackail-Smith - to exactly the same tune as the Casper Ankergren song, that wound me up.

I'm hoping that being able to hear the PA at the AMEX will show the younglings the correct speed of GOSBTS.

Was amused looking at the videos from the donny game how many fans were struggling with it when the real tempo is applied.

I've never been keen on the 'down the wing song' but why do we start it with Will-I-am instead of Buckley? sounds a bit lame.I didn't hear the CMS song.

GOSBTS seems to be sung much faster this season than it ever was at Withdean.

Yes and I hate it. It's not just GOSBTS, even chanting Albion has become a race to the finish.

 

[The_Real_SussexSeagull123]

Fair comments! Noticeably getting faster and faster! Should be ok at AMEX tho if its sung in time with the PA!

 

[Giraffe]

I think it's an increasing trend at football. Stoke fans have just sang Delilah far quicker than I've heard it before.

 

[Seagull Steve]

Yes and it's embarrassing. PLEASE SLOW DOWN.

 

[clarkey]

Used to be a bit of a joke that it sounded like Good Ole Suss by Sea, genuinely had to sing that yesterday as there wasnt time to fit all the syllables in

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

Any faster and we'll end up sounding like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Exactly! Id rather it not be sung at all than "sung" at the speed we seem to at the minute!

 

[Triggaaar]

In the last couple of minutes of Stoke vs Chelsea today, Stoke were singing 'when the Saints...' and it was at a nice pace and sounded good. With all due respect, we currently wouldn't be capabable of doing that (with equivelant song).
