Absolutely tinpot. Monkey see monkey do, young’uns are singing this without a hint of irony. Embarrassing.

I hadn't thought of that. In that context I like it.It was quite funny when sung to Man U. Any big team with a bunch of plastics for fans deserve to hear this at least once every season from a 'lesser' team's fans.
It's pretty cringe when sung to anyone else (such as Wolves). Ipswich sung it to us to celebrate a 0-0
Unfortunately this is the way of football songs in the televised game and social media era. Every team have the same five or six songs with slightly different words. It's why we should cherish GOSBTS.
But other than that, folk should remember the rock from which we were hewn.

I think I’m right in saying we both need to know more on this subject

Is it any worse than your going home in a Sussex ambulance?
Yes.

Oi, you cheeky git!
No, our support are not all middle class Dads!I think the chant is shite, this maybe down to some trauma experienced after Wembley (not really trauma, but f**king annoying). We were in a train queue at a different station (as I thought I'd be clever & avoid the main station). It was raining & there were young kids in the queue, it was all we heard! Made worse by the group that pushed past kids in the queue, singing it while they shoved them out of the way.
It should be reserved for Man U only when they come to town.
Yours sincerely
Not a middle class Dad!
Edit to add... It was being sung on the train back to Brighton as well!!!
Has anyone ever gone home in a Sussex ambulance?

We’re through the looking glass here, the whole crux of this chant and the subject matter of this thread is all down to the tune, put any load of bollocks to Sloop John B or Tom Hark and as long as it fits the masses will lap it up regardless of how cringeworthy it is.

Singing anything negative of the supporting efforts of Wolves c1,500 fans who bothered to travel mid week for a low budget league cup game that’s on the telly is simply backward

Is it really any different to before, though?? Surely since football chanting began, chants have largely been repeated by any club able to fit the same syllables into it. I guess the old 'Go left right left' is very unique (I think?) as well as GOSBTS obviously. But on the whole, are chants really any less unique than they used to be?

Incredibly, the view count for the extended 10 minute highlights of the match on da toob (You Tube) currently stands at 257k. Who'da thunk it back in the day?

Especially as an ambulance will probably take you to hospital rather than act as a taxi service.
Hospital or to his front door?

This is age old to be honest, any decent atmosphere or singing in unison disappeared along with the North Stand roof.
I remember having a drink with some FC United fans after the 4-0 up at Bury and they were very complimentary about Brighton fans but then one of them piped up “yeah, but you’ve got a tired old songbook”
