Match Made In HEAVEN For The Last Home Game? (Assuming All Goes Well From Here On In)

[Dave the OAP]

Gareth Malone has a lot to answer for. There was a mixed choir screeching out in The Martlets Centre Burgess Hill recently, I thought it was awful that was only my opinion but no doubt some people liked it. It takes all to make our world. Just to clarify I love operatic music but not when sung by choirs whether they be all male all female or mixed. I think the only exception would be Men of Harlech sung by a welsh male choir.

I won't bother inviting you to be in the audience with the three choirs I sing in, or invite you to the royal Albert hall for a concert I am singing in then.

Absolutely 100% NO. All the mincing around would ruin the pitch before the game.

You doing the Brighton festival again this year? Really enjoyed the one I went to before.

As I have said it wouldnt do for us all to like the same and if you enjoy doing it I would never try to persuade you otherwise but I personally wouldnt want it at The Amex. I was put off choirs as a choirboy singing The Crucifixtion for what seemed hours on end in church on Good Fridays.

I have been asked to sing in another choir in the festival, I hope to

you sang Stainer's Crucifixion? That is a masterful piece of work. I have sung it three times. Although to be honest I prefer Mendelssohn's Solemn Vespers in the original coptic Russian....hours of practice pays off

Excellent news!

 

[The Large One]

Generally No I do not with a very few exceptions

Reason enough to have a choir on the pitch then.

This is not the thread you're looking for, then.

That fell on deaf ears, malheureusement.

 

[The Large One]

Absolutely 100% NO. All the mincing around would ruin the pitch before the game.

Do you have absolute 100% proof that the pitch would be ruined by 40 blokes doing a 2-minute 'mincing' (whatever that it) routine? First-hand, peer-tested preferably.

Thanks.

Fling wide the gates! etc...

If it was taking hours you were singing far too slowly

 

[McTavish]

Just disagreeing with the OP that we should have a choir at The Amex. to give an opposite view

Impressive levels of all-about-meism..."we shouldn't have a choir at the Amex because I don't like choirs!"

 

[Petunia]

This HAS to be done [MENTION=561]Insider[/MENTION]

Afterwards, is a different kettle of fish.

At the very least could this be played on the big screens after the game?

That is, of course, assuming everything has gone to plan..................

OP - this a cracker of an idea. I've heard them and they are great. Give Barber a nudge eh?

I could certainly live with the nostalgia of a brass band for "Sussex by the Sea" too.

But Ring of Fire? Nah. Has nothing to do with our club at all. Just don't understand why Barber introduced it. *shrugs*

Every game I stand and sing the PROPER words to "Sussex by the Sea" with all the volume I can muster. Ring of Fire? Yer 'aving a larf son!

Ring of Fire started at Fulham when we were in the relegation zone, with Jonesy as caretaker manager. We won that game, and it took off. We haven't looked back since.

Ring of Fire? Yer twirlin' a scarf son!

Fixed that for you.

'Ring of Fire' and 'I'm On My Way' have equal value at the Albion insofar as they have nothing AND everything to do with us.

'Nothing' because their origins are nothing remotely to do with Brighton, the Albion or football.

'Everything' because over the past two or three seasons, these have been belted out as full-blooded terrace chants.

Yes indeed, it was the fans that introduced Ring of Fire, not the club.

A third being 'We all follow Brighton and Hove Albion'. Quite like the thought of a large male choir belting out 'The animals went in two by two' before a football match.

(Yes I'm aware it has a slightly longer history than that)
