What did people think about the PA on Saturday playing "Sailing" as the last song before the teams came out?

Surely a ploy to wind up tha Southampton players by playing a Pompey song. I thought it was f***ing hilarious!!!

I think you're reading too much into it, and they were simply playing another tune to which we have a regular chant.

It was the second match in a row it's been played. Presumably the idea is that we'll join in with "We are Brighton" but I can't see that happening, as the fans' version is twice the speed.

I do miss Vindaloo. I know it's not a Brighton song but it just works, in my opinion. Don't like Depeche Mode much.

One of my favourites too, just a shame that the recorded version is actually too slow to chant along to...

:(

Didn't notice but that is funny. Would have been sanctioned by Gus I am sure. Oh and did Gus shake hands with Adkins after the game?

I prefer to finish on the Beatles tune.

Having attended every Amex match, I still find the Fanzone get's to me!

think the fanzone,s a bit naff but as shorham ladygull says the kids in the family stand love it so in the hope they will all grow into season ticket holders i will just keep quiet and watch the family stand dancing about

I bloody hate that song But I do think the fans zone is a good thing the East/Family stand is getting better and better each week and as said before these are the next generation of Albion supporters.
