On the radio just now, Mr Kay, he played Depeche Mode, just can’t get enough

we had a chant I think it was at withers based on this song.

its driving me bonkers as I can’t remember the player.

it finished of….and I just can’t seem. to get enough of……da da da da da daaaa daaa …someone someone.


i would contact the Scott mills show and ask his ” detectives” but it’s quite niche

any old feckers remember?

Not sure if it's your memory or another player, but it wouldn't be CMS if it was at Withdean.

It wouldn't be a complete shock if it had been used for another player. Or five!

At some stage, the fast-paced "albion albion albion" [x10] of the north stand at the Goldstone was replaced by the current, deary, slow-paced "aaal-beee-eurgghn, aaal-beee-eurgghn" drudge. How, when and why did that happen?

Not sure when but "How?" is the main people who start chants chose to do it, and "Why?" is because Liverpool did it and we have always been massive plagiarists.

As far as I know we are one of very few adopters. Plymouth perhaps being another? Teams who stuck with the better "Here We Go" tune include West Brom, Wolves, Leeds, Arsenal, Everton (notably), Newcastle... not sure why we had to change - recent revival attempts are welcome

The words are easier to remember, so it caught on?

It was x 11 the way I sang it

Tbf I don’t mind the modern version - the simpler the chant the more people sing it

How can the CMS song be called an "old" song - its from the Amex era

Fast-paced version much better or it will be until we sing it so fast you can't fit a breath in.

Two Kerry Mayo’s a personal favourite.

I used to love it at Withdean when we would go through the whole team and have a song for every one of them at the start of the match.

For some reason I was reminscing (with myself) about Richie Barker songs yesterday.

The two I remember are "Barker the Bear" (Rupert the Bear style) and "Oo ah, Richie Bar-kar" (French national anthem/Eric Cantona style). Seem to remember that one generating a polite ripple of applause one quiet day at Priestfield.

I found myself singing this out loud when I was cooking the other night. I have no idea why.

From the Goldstone days there was a period when second half last twenty minutes of every game “Attack Attack- attack attack attack “ over and over used to make the hairs on my head rise when the north stand started and it appeared to make the team really go for it

Our current chant repertoire consists of Albion Albion and GOSBTS sung so fast it’s over in a flash just in time for another round of Albion Albion
