The Seagulls Ska version of Sussex By the Sea: yay or nay?

[Lady Whistledown]

Prompted by the other thread then. I'm talking about the speeded up version of GOSBTS that they play over the PA at Withdean when we win.

Sorry Attila, but I hate it, I think it's an absolute travesty and a gross mistreatment of a proper old fashioned song that means a lot to the supporters of Brighton & Hove Albion. I can't stand hearing it as we walk out of Withdean, and I for one have no desire whatsoever to hear it at Falmer. Apart from the fact that it sucks, it's also dated and has associations with the bad times, all the campaigns. I say it's time to move on and scrap it when we get to Falmer (preferably scrap it now, but I would settle for next season).

I'm interested to know what the punters of NSC think. So, Seagulls Ska: winner, or binner?

 

[Brighton M]

Well, the kids in the family stand love it, so that's good enough for me

 

[cannedheat]

tis ok, keep it.

 

[Beach Hut]

Total pile of sh1te and self-indulgence

 

[The Orange Seagull]

Well,I like it.

 

[8ace]

I don't mind it

 

[Gonzo]

It's a bit silly really isn't it.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Enjoy ... or not ...

[Lord Bracknell]

I've voted to keep it ... but mainly on the grounds that I get enormous personal pleasure from being reminded that I sang on a record that got to number 17 in the charts.

 

[KneeOn]

The kids like it. Seagulls Ska IN.

 

[Chicken Run]

Shocking pile of shit! imho of course.

 

[Acker79]

I think it's the real reason so many people leave early.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Read the title of the thread but not the actual poll question so voted to keep it when I actually want it to be scrapped, oops.

I didn't mind it to start with but now it just grates. I don't think ska belongs at football unfortunately

 

[Hunting 784561]

On the basis that it only gets played when we've won - keep it.

I don't think that is the key factor in the team winning, you know...

On the subject of crap music, I've just watched highlights of the England- Australia egg chasing yesterday, and to my horror, it appears the curse of lame celebration music has now infected the world of rugby too.

Ashton's glorious try was greeted immediately with the dismally familiar sounds of Tom Hark. Try music, dammit, is NOWHERE safe??

 

[Mendoza]

it's ok, but i dont really like it. If we are going for variations of the song, I prefer the dance version the Sussex Sharks use to the ska version

I'm not a big rugby watcher, but I'm sure they had that in the World Cup FINAL that England were in a few years ago. The one they lost, not the one they won.
At least it hasn't gone that far in football yet, though they do have it in the Champions League.

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Slow GOSBTS at the end of the games will lead to slow singing of GOSBTS. Bin it.

 

[Billy the Fish]

That song's got nothing to do with the fast singing of GOSBTS. If that was the case, how do you explaing the fast singing of every other Albion song?


As for the version, I've got no problem with it. Even if you don't like listening to it I don't see how anyone can feel that strongly that they'd want it banned.
