[Albion] NEW BRIGHTON

[attila]

NEW BRIGHTON

It’s time to stand up and be counted
As we did in the club’s darkest hour
To open our lungs up and bellow
To the ‘Big Six’ and corporate power
We’re an inclusive, progressive city
To the world’s talent, an open door.
We’re clever, flamboyant and witty
And we’re not a ‘small club’ any more.

New Brighton, a suburb of Merseyside...

Not so sure about the title, but I am a miserable git sometimes.

Here is my pathetic offering....

From the ashes and embers
from heartache and pain
Came a dream, that we would once fly again

We endured trials and tribulations
Determined in Sussex to remain
We soared through the clouds, until we found sunlight once again

Were Brighton & Hove Albion
We stand or fall for Sussex, this we do claim
So cheer on the boys in Blue & White, were one and the same

You can tell I got a C in English, maybe Atilla (The legend) could tidy it up.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Let's hope we can, just to see how far we can take it.

We’re clever, flamboyant and witty
And we’re not a ‘small club’ any more.

I like it. You should consider doing it for a living.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

none of that Wake Up Boo nonsense

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Time now for our next giant step
Into Europe with Wild Pep

There was a young man called Mitoma

Who studied dribbling for his diploma

He skinned Trent alive

And he barely survived

But he’s probably still in a coma

New Brighton is a strange one,

It’s next to Birkenhead,

But for a day of sun and lots of fun,

Old Brighton will do instead.

Ay theng yoo!

Nice one Attila! Have you ver considered being a poet!!?

OK. Written in 2006......I cycled round it

NEW BRIGHTON (2)

No supercilious yuppie hordes
No rip-off absentee landlords
No crap stude chains to ruin your pub
No overpriced, pretentious grub
No begging crusties hooked on smack
No London dealers pushing crack
No narrow streets clogged up with cars
No endless naff expresso bars
No pissed up blokes who fight and sing
No beer, no life, no...anything!
There IS a fort. Says ‘Open’. But
The gates are resolutely shut.
New Brighton. That’s a good idea -
But it’s not going to happen here......

I knew Brighton when we were shit. You try telling the youth of today and they won't believe you.

We’re no longer in the “small clubs like Brighton” club

I've worked in an office with somebody who used to play for Brighton, and had been in my sister's class at school.
Now we've got a player who's won the world cup.
It's genuinely unbelievable.
If only I could make it rhyme.

New Brighton used to have a tower taller than Blackpool's but it was neglected during the Great War and pulled down shortly afterwards.

Which great war would that be, I can only think of terrible wars..

 

[Surf's Up]

There was a young lad named Atilla
Who could rhyme and scan like a killer
He transitioned our rise from Storey to glory
Holy Moly, what a f***ing great story!!

I'll get may coat .............
