We are Brighton super Brighton is my favourite.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

hit the bar hit the bar hit the bar.

i know its not a brighton chant but it brings back great memories!

when the ball hits the net....

victoria is a slapper, she really is a tart.....

 

[Rich Suvner]

Favs:
We Are Brighton
Build a Bonfire/Hire a Hitman


However, is our only truly original chant/song GOSBTS? If so, it's a bit sad that we (me included) don't know a few verses to sing and even when we do sing it, it quickly descends into an uncoordinated frenzy of clapping - even under a roof.

We need a proper anthem (a Blowing Bubbles, Valley Floyd Road, Delilah), something that lasts longer than 15 seconds and is just ours. Updated, or relevent verses of GOSBTS would be my fav (ie exclude the verse about farming!)

sussex by the sea - under a roof when the players run out and hearing it sung is brilliant

"all together now"

 

[Göttingen gull]

1.)we are brighton! You dont hear that enough down in C block

2.) sussex by the sea. More people should learn the la la la la la la, bit of the song, most people only join in at the 'and we r goin up to win the cup' bit

 

[saafend_seagull]

all time fav- barnet away...boxing day.

Away in a manger no crib for a bed, the little lord jesus sat up and he said...we hate palace and we hate palace...

 

[Rich Suvner]

scotty m - in fairness you're right... in the GG North Stand it was awesome. in recent years tho, it seems people want to sing it quicker and quicker.

although i love the hummed intro, don't remember that from my time at GG (94 onwards)

we REALLY should introduce this verse tho (think this is correct)


We're the men from Sussex
Sussex by the Sea
You can tell them all
That we'll stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea


Quality. They sung it during WWII didn't they?

 

[desprateseagull]

didnt realise there were more words

to GOSBTS, until the final at cardiff..

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Best - We are Brighton

Worst cringeworthy and SOOO unamusing was - "6-5, we're gonna win 6-5" or any varation of that scoreline when we are losing badly, it's just such a crap and feeble chant.

 

[larus]

One that makes me laugh and shut's up the opposition fans is :

one - nil to the Nancy boys, etc

 

[timseagull]

Brighton Aces!

Not sure why we don't sing it more. Only got one rendition at the millenium.....

 

[saltash seagull]

super brighton and gosbts are my favourites

 

[Rambo]

GOSBTS is pure class when not sung too quickly, which it often is these days!

I do like Posh spice is a slapper.

And a can you here the (insert name here) sing?
We cant hear a f***ing thing.

The sssshhhh arghhhhhhhh always makes me chuckle to myself.

 

[timseagull]

"your're going home in an Sussex ambulance"

and the funeral march followed bu DIE always makes me smile....generally when things are going badly and Charlie is kicking chunks out the opposition.

 

[Braders]

falmer countdown

or just albion,albion,albion


i like them all except bright eyes ( cause i always get it wrong)u

 

[JSD Albion]

There used to be a version of 'Posh Spice is a slapper' for just about every member of the team, most of them outrageously obscene. 'Watson', for example, was rhymed with 'spots on', and I'll let you guess which bit of Victoria was so affected.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The one that Plymouth fans sing at Withdean makes me chuckle:

'You Dirty Northern Bastids'

Apart from that 'Hit The Bar (Hit The Bar, Hit The Bar)'

2.) sussex by the sea. More people should learn the la la la la la la, bit of the song, most people only join in at the 'and we r goin up to win the cup' bit [/B][/QUOTE]

might stir things up a bit, but the la la la la la la la bit as you refer to, has actually spoiled the song, back in the 70's/80's we just burst into good ole sussex.....etc etc, with the peak being the altogether now bit....

now sadly the song is so high in pitch by the time we get going, the song tends to peter out too early.

Well thats an older view anyway.

... also on a terrace, Knees up Brighton town. would warm us up a bit.
