[Albion] Hey Jude and Sweet Caroline
- Thread starter HH Brighton
- Start date
Just stop the music . . .its naff. Too loud, and not football. Embarassing And unbearable.
you only have to see people running away from the ground at 86 minutes for proof.

Don't have a problem with either song. Your point about allowing fans to make the atmosphere is interesting given how often there are complaints on here of fans not actually making an atmosphere !

Imho.
Hey Jude, I love it, anyway it’s just the music element in a montage pre match.
Sweet Caroline is a shit song. Tony Bloom is a young-bloke, of all the songs in the world, why did he choose this non-rousing dirge? By contrast Freed From Desire is immense.

And another thing......
Good Old Sussex by the Sea lyrics aren't needed on the big screens if they are being displayed on the pitchside advertising boards.
(having them on the electronic advertising boards for the people that don't know the words is more discrete and looks less tinpot)

I'd not noticed sweet caroline being played for quite a while. Was definitely annoyed by it's return.
The problem I have with Hey Jude is that almost all clubs supporters sing their team name to it, so it's a chance to encourage away supporters to get up and sing and support their team. It's too universal and helps opponents.

Fanzone is awful. The songs are awful.
But it’s for the kids or whatever. Fine.
But then then keep the bloody thing going until the second before we kick off!
Have it by all means. Just tone it down a bit and get some better songs in there.
Sweet Caroline is acceptable on days like today, after we’ve won. But give us some time to sing football songs. Was like being at the basketball today.

I thought that at full time that playing 'Sweet Caroline' for a bunch of Northerners that had just lost 5-0 having spent a weekend down south in Wetherspoons in Brighton and Eastbourne without any Chips n Gravy, Rugby League or Regal cigarettes was a nice touch by the club.

Is there still the bit “… your hands up for Bri-ton”?
A cross between US Razzmatazz and CBeebies, embarrassing at a football match.

If I never hear Sweet Caroline again in my lifetime it will be too soon. It makes me want to hack the flesh off my own face with a rusty bone saw.

This is 100x better than Sweet Caroline as a football chant pre or post match.

Agree. I remember a game at Reading a few years ago- the ultimate Noddy club- and they played it about fifteen times that night.
Somebody suggested on Twitter earlier that if we want some upbeat EDM to end a game with, then Ecuador by Sash would fit the bill on so many levels, and I agree wholeheartedly.
Agree with that. Normally I hate it but it did seem to capture the occassion today. The after match was good fun.
I’m pleased so many Albion fans stayed and were able to applaud the Grimsby players and fans when they went. As Barney Ronay said, the whole day was very feel good.
Ha, I remember that- they were claiming it was their 'newly-adopted club anthem'
Glad they replaced it with the far superior:

As i said on another thread, absolutely ridiculous that we played that dross to the away end had a nice time, rather than celebrated our own team getting to Wembley with 'Que Sera Sera'.
"Oh wasn't it nice to see the Grimsby fans " what a load of wet blanket nonsense.
