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

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

'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.

Totally agree. These things organically grow a life of their own, same as every other football chant there ever was. We'll probably be singing them fifty years down the line, even if nobody really remembers why.

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

I agree. We shouldn't have Bristol City at the Amex because I prefer Bristol Rovers.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I agree. We shouldn't have Bristol City at the Amex because I prefer Bristol Rovers.

Is there a stream for that?

Edit you were too quick to correct your typo.

I agree. We shouldn't have Bristol City at the Amex because I prefer Bristol Rivers.

Is that the Severn?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

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

It was one way of keeping warm on that freezing night, although the stand actually bouncing helped a lot.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Is that the Severn?

I Avon a clue.

 

[whitelion]

I Avon a clue.

Of course....my bad.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Of course....my bad.

Severn BORE.

Heaven = Live performances from the Band of The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Royal Sussex heritage) stirring renditions of GOSBTS plus a few 'banging tunes' from our Norm.

That's more like it!

 

[mothy]

Little mix please

 

[Eeyore]

Severn BORE.

That's a BRIDGE too far.

 

[pearl]

That's a BRIDGE too far.

I can't bear the suspension

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.

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

Fling wide the gates! etc...

If it was taking hours you were singing far too slowly

That is the one Dave I cannot remember exactly how long as it was 60 years ago but if memory serves me well it was from about 10 -12 each day so about 2 hours. I could be wrong and it wasnt as long as it seemed to a 12 year old. I know we got paid 2s6d for doing it as against 7s6d to sing at a wedding
