Stand or fall banner

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

Mmmm. Not sure that picking three words from a great song about our county makes a great deal of sense. You may as well pick "Good Old Sussex" or "Sussex by the Sea".

Written in 1907 by William Higgs it was picked up by the royal Sussex regiment as a marching song and used during the first world war. Stand or fall is a battle cry, a call to arms. I.e strong, stirring words for the terraces.

Queue people making negative comments about the NSK, hating the idea, etc...

Give it an hour, I think DICK Reynolds Haircut is still at evening mass

He knows that but he is a "w-really w-really funny" comedian that is ten steps ahead of the rest of us you see

'Stand and fall' is quality and those words are poignant to many people for many different reasons but to most as stated above, a battle cry and perfect for the banner.
A bit like the Liverpool one 'through the wind and rain' but better.

Your right, guess I was suckered into that. But i think it needed clarifying just in case.

Will definitely add more colour to stadium and the words "Stand or Fall" are perfect.

I'm out.

Maybe if your Army hadn't ran off down the hill, and STOOD we wouldn't have FALLEN.

Most JCLs will assume its a reference to players boot-choice following over-watering of the pitch shirley?

I think it's alright. Anyway..Stand or Fall if it is a reference to war has plenty to resonate. It's not just Sussex.. Albion after all means (according to Wiki)

Albion (Greek: Ἀλβιών) is the oldest known name of the island of Great Britain. Today, it is still sometimes used poetically to refer to the island or England in particular. It is also the basis of the Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland, Alba. New Albion and Albionoria ("Albion of the North") were briefly suggested as possible names of Canada during the period of Canadian Confederation.

I've got a £ for it.

As the right hand side seagull will be right above my head I would be more than pleased to put in a few quid.

[Pot noodles for everyone]

read it again.. what do you think "stand" means and what do you think "fall" stands for. clue = poppy day

What? Suggest you learn the 2nd verse to GOSBTS.

Dear oh dear oh dear.

Looks great.

I still love this banner - which would also look class - perhaps any spare cash could have it on the other side.

Thing about this, its brilliant, however if Gus was too leave it would be an awful lot of money gone to waste.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Bit of colour in the banner will fit in that stand nicely. Im always in support of anything that 'could' help the atmoshere

How would 'Stand or Fall' with the Albion badge be read when 3-1 down at home, with the North Stand emptying?
