Lets end this embarrassing ultras song ?!

[Gazwag]

Oh bugger, I saw a bit of the Shamrock Rovers Spurs game last night and there were doing the "We are the North Stand Brighton Boys la la la la la la la" song oh no we must have copied them, dam, we will have to stop singing that now before the song police come and get us.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Palace copied the song word for word from St Pauli we have took the tune and changed every word.

Rad, you are NSK. Is there anywhere where others can send you song suggestions? I was sticking up for you lot with the I love you chant but really after Tuesday I have no interest in singing it. It has been a good attempt, but it doesn't matter if Palacd stole it. It's the fact that the scum sing it and have done for ages. There have been some good song suggestions by some on here. You lot might wanna take some on.

Don't like it don't sign it, going by the amount who join in it won't last long and will soon fade into memory

I hate it also but i have noticed that more people have been joining in lately. At Leeds it seemed 3/4 of the north stand were singing it.

 

[Simster]

I like the song but think our lyrics are a bit gash. Whoever thought up "our" lyrics should be shot - no wonder Palace do it better than we do.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Why is it "...of the Sussex" as opposed to "FROM Sussex"? That bit sounds so so wanky.

 

[5 Zero]

Was that a compliment there

Yes

 

[Trigger]

Another vote for getting shot of the cringeworthy shit here...

 

[peterward]

Whether we like it not, its harder to offer up alternatives than it is to jump on the nsk's efforts.

I take my hat of to the nsk for at least trying to do something.

Most important thing for me is not song choice as such, its to remember their are more passionate albion fans that don't sit in the the northstand than do sit in it. Organise and make its appeal broader based and more inclusive.

I did post an alternative version a couple of weeks ago to make it flow easier when your pissed up on an away trip and also get the East and West stands involved.

WE ARE BRIGHTON , BRIGHTON , BRIGHTON
BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION , ALBION , ALBION
THE ALBION FROM SUSSEX , SUSSEX , SUSSEX
FROM SUSSEX BY THE SEA , THE SEA , THE SEA
WHOA WHOA WO WHOA WHOA WO etc etc

 

[Braders]

To the lad who posted videos of other teams doing it in England - YES, they all copied Palace!

for me this would sound better and like you said the other stands can join in , at the moment its only a north stand chant

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I can picture a group of fellas in a Brighton pub in the early 1920's discussing how to turn "Sussex By The Sea" into a football song and being told "nah , that's a shit song they sang in the war."

 

[Crofty]

I was against it, until Leicester away, when it took off and the whole away end was rocking to it...... I think you should be patient, adapt the first line to something more inclusive like Brighton and Hove Albion, as suggested.

It will take off, and it aint a Palace song, its done by loads of clubs and started I think with St Pauli in Germany.

It is indeed a chant first sung by St Pauli ultras of Hamburg

In the UK it was first adopted by the HF (Holmesdale Fanatics) at CRYSTAL PALACE but now everyone joins in at Palace home or away. I think other teams in England think of it as a Palace song. We do it well. As you have heard. Copying us like this should make you cringe tbh.

yes because its impossible to turn the word north into west or into east

 

[Vicar!]

I do think in a town full of songwriters we could be doing a whole lot better.
Someone start a 'Song for Albion'. Anyone know Norman Fat Boy or Simon of the Levellers. It can't be that difficult to get our own unique catchy song going.
