Heritage Chants

[Hornblower]

I was recalling some chants from the Goldstone days, one of my favourites (yes I know it's childish but it still makes me laugh) was:

Tip toe, through the North Stand,
Through the North Stand,
Get your head kicked in but tiptoe throught the North Stand with me.

Not sure it would be acceptable at the Amex though.

 

[scarby]

you can change the lyrics to.....

"sit down , in the north stand
in the north stand
get a beating in by a steward, in the north stand with me"

 

[KZNSeagull]

"Sit down in the West Stand
Nice Prawn Sandwich
And a cup of tea
O Sit down in the West Stand with me"

Oh, and I thought the second line of the original was "with your boots on"

 

[El Sid]

Couple of my favourites were

"You're gonna get your fcukin heads kicked in!"
or the equally enchanting
"See you at the station!"

 

[Hornblower]

"Sit down in the West

Oh, and I thought the second line of the original was "with your boots on"

Was it? If so my memory is failing me (yet again) can anyone else confirm this either way?

 

[El Sid]

Was it? If so my memory is failing me (yet again) can anyone else confirm this either way?

I'm sure it was "with your boots on"

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Definitely "with your boots on".

Somewhere there is a recording of the Bracknell posse (and others) singing this - background music for the first production of Brighton 'til I Die.

Does anyone have a copy? Mr Albion? Southy?

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Couple of my favourites were

"You're gonna get your fcukin heads kicked in!"
or the equally enchanting
"See you at the station!"

Thought it was "you'll never make the station"

 

[Sausage]

I was always warmed by 'You're going home in a fukcing ambulance'

 

[catfish]

I was always warmed by 'You're going home in a fukcing ambulance'

Or "You're going home in a Sussex ambulance".

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

I liked an old one I first heard from the Holte End at Villa to the tune of Tom Hark

You like to sing, we don't know why
'cause after the match, you're gonna die

 

[Frutos]

I was always warmed by 'You're going home in a fukcing ambulance'

Why would an ambulance take you home? Surely it would take you to hospital for further medical attention?

 

[El Sid]

Thought it was "you'll never make the station"

Could have been. My memory is not all that at my advanced age.

 

[Hornblower]

I'm sure it was "with your boots on"

Thanks for that, failing memories all round it seems.

One of my favourites from the opposition was away to Woking in the cup about twenty years ago. There had been some pretty threatening "ambulance" and "big boots" chants from both sides and after a short lull, the Woking fans started singing:

"You've got more hats than us, Brighton, Brighton"

Priceless.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

"Here's here, he's there, he's every ****ing where, [FILL IN NAME AS APPLICABLE - 3 SYLLABLES WORK BEST. AND REPEAT]

"He's only a poor little Palace, his feathers are tattered and torn etc"

 

[forrest]

One of my favourites that I havent heard in a while is this one.

I can't read, i can't write,
but that don't really matter,
because i come from (insert team name)
and i can drive a tractor

 

[Nottseagull]

Or "You're going home in a Sussex ambulance".

Also "You're going home like Sandy Richardson".


(Youngsters, search name with Crossroads)

 

[RM-Taylor]

One of my favourites that I havent heard in a while is this one.

I can't read, i can't write,
but that don't really matter,
because i come from (insert team name)
and i can drive a tractor

Always sung when we play at Ipswich or Norwich

 

[The Birdman]

"Sit down in the West Stand
Nice Prawn Sandwich
And a cup of tea
O Sit down in the West Stand with me"

Oh, and I thought the second line of the original was "with your boots on"

to the north stand back to school on monday

 

[Bakesy]

Over there
Over there
And do every smell


Like f***ing hell
