[Albion] GOSBTS "Going up" or "Stand or Fall"?

[Lush]

Not the chant, but when the players walk out. I've been waiting for one of these lines to win, but it still sounds like an unholy mess.

I slightly favour the original "You can tell them all that we stand or fall" but then does that mark me down as a newbie reading off the screen? Is it better to be "going up to win the cup"? (yes I know it makes no sense - that's a different argument)

What do you sing? I will go with the results of the poll.

 

[Tory Boy]

Stand and Fall.

[Change at Barnham]

Where's the poll?

 

[Washie]

We can't go up

 

[Titanic]

Now is the time for marching... STAND OR FALL.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Also, the rising for the trophy bit has to be accompanied by 137 bpm clapping, gradually increasing.

I was stuck with the same quandary and settled on a compromise. Stand or fall first half, win the cup second.

Stand or Fall. Not only the original line, but a far superior one too, now the lyrics have been on the screen there is no excuse for confusion.

 

[Blue3]

Stand or fall

 

[SUIYHP]

Stand or Fall is far better. 'Stand or Fall' means that regardless of whether Brighton is in good times or bad times, we stick with our club no matter what. It is that 'Stand or Fall' mentality that brought fans to the club even in our darkest days, rallied the fans in the we want Falmer Campaign, and united us in our push for the Premier League.

Our dedication to Sussex by the sea is far more important than some poxy cup that we're 'going up' to win.

I'm not standing or falling in a trench fighting an Imperialist capitalist war for anyone. I'll watch the football though.

 

[Magic Sponge]

Stand or Fall

 

[The red pepper kid]

either or

 

[sully]

Stand or Fall both halves when the teams come out.

 

[half time scores]

I do believe the "going up to win the cup" version was written by Norman Wisdom.

Stand or fall for me.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

'Stand or fall' is much better but growing up I heard and sang 'going up' a lot more so I automatically sing that. Need to re-educate myself!

 

[Pavilionaire]

We have a 'Stand or Fall' banner so it would seem strange to omit those words from our club song.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Stand or Fall.

Same here, I was playing along with the "Up for the Cup" crowd before understanding the song's history. The "Stand or fall" version is more rousing and just - imo - better.

Unless we're playing a Cup tie, then I might make an exception.

"And we're going up that we stand or fall"
