Okay, I liked it just before the game started, but the response in our group was mixed. What do we think?
Typo in title, should read 'or'.

Third option …. don’t care.
Fair enough but I think a lot of people really do care. It’s unique to our club and has meant a lot for generations of fans. Personally, I’d feel very aggrieved if it was ever dropped - it’s an important part of Albion’s identity.

Mark my words - they will NEVER drop it whilst Tony Bloom is chairman. They are just trying to mix things up in the desperate hope the atmosphere will improve. It worked in the same way the Arsenal anthem does just before kick off but it does feel odd not walking out to it.
No they won’t.
Most other teams play their anthem just before kick off, not as the teams come out.

What I’m more bothered about is that they cut the audio on the last couple of lines to let the fans sing solo. That’s the most powerful bit and I’ve got no idea why they’ve changed it.
Yeah this. As long as it’s played I don’t really mind exactly when it’s played.
I quite liked it personally. I thought there was a good, loud atmosphere at the start of the game so it didn’t do any harm to that.

I felt it had more of an impact, being played just before kick off.
Not on the pitch, sadly.

Sussex By The Sea just before kick off, but
I’d like us to walk out to a bit of Right Said Fred “I’m Too Sexy”

I guess the club are trying to please everyone. Hey Jude during the 'fan zone', when 3000 Ipswich fans gave it loud and 2 home fans hummed the tune proved that song had to go. Most clubs, go to Liverpool, Forest etc, play their big theme in the seconds before KO so why not GOSBTS? Give it a few games and it will become second nature. Fade down as we did before for the singing and it will be perfect. Remember last season we had our song and then the PL theme would be blasted out and the moment had gone. Now we have our song and the game starts and we can keep on singing.
I'm for pre KO.

Us oldies remember when Mike Bamber returned from a trip to the USA and dropped GOSBTS for Rocky. Lasted one game I think.

….an all blue kit and no half price for kids in the North Stand. Not our best season (actually I think it was our highest finish at the time)

I don't think the "don't care" means not caring if it's played or not (as your reply infers) but don't care when it's played (so long as it is).
