We've got Willy Willy Willy Willy Irvine in our team, in our team we've got Willy Willy Willy Willy Irvine in our team in our team etc etc.

 

[Jack Straw]

What was the one from that went ?

I love to go a-wandering along the Shoreham Road
And as you pass The Goldstone Ground
You'll hear a mighty roar

If you should go, a-wandering,
along the Shoreham Road.
And if you pass, the Goldstone Ground,
you'll hear a mighty roar.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, Alan Alan Gilliver.

When Luton were our main rivals, late '60s, early 70's (pre-Palarse), to the same tune;

If you should go a-wandering, along the Luton Way,
And if you pass, the Oak Road End,
you'll hear Old Stocky say,
Ohhhhhhhhhh, I've got a love elly bunch of Luton c****.
(The last line changed to tune of "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts").
"Stocky" was Alex Stock, the then Luton manager.

oh yes, luton. that amazing game when it seemed like fighting on all 4 sides of kenilworth road. "supermac, super **** how many bums you had this year!!! legendary day...especially the 'help yourself' at woolworths!

 

[hopper_182]

You're going home in a County ambulance!

i thought it went 'You're going home in a Sussex ambulance'

 

[Taybha]

[Brownstuff]

This day was literally one big riot from start to finish.
No segregation, not all ticket.
The whole of Brighton went. Thousands and thousnands.
I have posted before on the graffiti which appeared all over the town for a month before the match. "GO TO LUTON" was all it said.
You felt you had to go or you would be betraying you town, so everybody went.
Brighton fans made the number one story on the TV news due to the scale of the trouble.
I believe Malcolm McDonald's car was turned over, green distress flares being let off, fights on the trains, in the ground, and the infamous Woolies ransacking.
Oh the good old days!

 

[seagulls254]

My first post but had to give one I remember though cant remember first players name so I've made one up!
Norman Hunters queer and so is Alan Ball
But as for Ted McDougall,he's the queerest of them all
You've never seen anything like it in present or in past
Theres nothing he likes better than a cock stuck up his arse
la la la la

 

[Barrow Boy]

Remember when we played Spurs Steve Perryman being singled out by the South Stand singing (to the chorus of 'I am the music man')

Ohhh, Perry, perry, perryman
Perryman,
Perryman,
Perry, Perry, Perryman,
Perry, Perryman,
Ohhh
Wank, wank, wank, wank, wank, wank, wank,
Wank, wank, wank,
Wank, wank, wank,
Wank, wank, wank, wank, wank, wank, wank,
Wank, wank, wank, wank, wank!

Whole lot of wanking going on there

yes his car ended up turned over. woolies was legend. hundreds and hndreds just walked in the the one set of doors, went thru shop, took what they wanted and then out through the second set of doors in main street. my biggest memory was standing to the left of the home end, you could hear the brawling on the streets behind the main stand, the luton fans were then invaded from the back and the front. carnage. do you remember a few seasons before when bournemouth came to goldstone

If the Oak Road end was their North Stand, I was in the chicken run level with the 18 yard box at that end.
I had a cracking view of what was going on in there.
My most powerful memory was clearly overhearing a Luton old boy standing to the side of me saying, "With away support like that, it must be worth a goal start".
It was impressive, and probably due to the reasonable sized mob they brought to the Goldstone a few months previous.

I remember the Bournemouth away game on a Bank Holiday Monday very clearly.
Same again from our mob.
This was all ticket, but the whole ground was full of our lot.
I believe that at that time, the 20,000 odd thousand gate was a record which may still stand, even though Manure visited in the cup a few years later.
I remember some yokel who managed to climb from the outside on to the wall at the top of our terrace behind the goal, (the Brighton Beach end - yes seriously), and tried to teach us to say Broyton, no Brighton.
Before he could finish his second sentence, someone jumped up and managed to pull him in to the crowd.
It was like a scene from Pirahnna, with everyone pouncing on him, giving him the pasting of a life-time.
The police took him out in bits!
Oh, the good old days!!

 

[smudge]

We've got Willy Willy Willy Willy Irvine in our team, in our team we've got Willy Willy Willy Willy Irvine in our team in our team etc etc.

Pedant Alert! It was "on the wing".

Another blast from the past, for Fred Binney we just sang, "Super Fred" over & over again.

[chairman]

sadly im old enough to remember a song we used to sing when archie mcCauley was manager in the 60's
ba ba ba ba ba brighton,
when archie says we are goin to win today
its going to happen just that way
we're going up from division two
we wont stop there
we'll go right through
when everything is said and done
we'll be right up there in division one
ba ba ba ba ba brighton

How many bums have you had this year.



You'll never make the Station ................ you'll never make the station ...........

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Something like ....

I'm not a bow-legged chicken or a cockney hen
We haven't lost a fight sice I don't know when
We don't give a widdle and we don't give a wank
We are the Brighton - North stand

 

[Dave the OAP]

Palace Boys
make more noise
when they play with Tonka toys.
la la la la la la la la laaaaaa

I hear the Sound
Of distant farts
Over There.....
Over There.....
and do they smell
like fuuuuuuukin ell

 

[Dave the OAP]

Rodney marsh
Superstar
Wears frilly knickers and a playtex Bra

 

[smudge]

To the tune of Tom Hark

"Palace sing, I don't know why,
Cos after the match, they're gonna die".

Snooker loopy tune

"Brighton mental mob are we,
me & him & them & me
we'll show you what we can do
when we smash your skull with a snooker cue"

Nice.
