Noooooooooo!

[neilbard]

Saturday will be the usual shambles when anyone tries to sing SBTS on the pitch.

Brilliant if we could actually sing the following but not very likely....


1st verse
Now is the time for marching, Now let your hearts be gay,
Hark to the merry bugles Sounding along our way.
So let your voices ring, my boys, And take the time from me,
And I’ll sing you a song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea!

Chorus
For We're the men from Sussex, Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
And useful men are we;
And when you go to Sussex, Whoever you may be,
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea!

Refrain
Oh Sussex, Sussex by the Sea!
Good old Sussex by the Sea!
You may tell them all we stand or fall,
For Sussex by the Sea.

2nd verse
Up in the morning early, Start at the break of day;
March till the evening shadows Tell us it's time to stay.
We're always moving on, my boys, So take the time from me,
And sing this song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea.

Refrain

For Christ sake man you've left out that thingy about winning a cup

can I get a ring tone of SBTS ?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

you watch a game you were at ??

Yes, if we had a good win, I did, before we ditched Sky.
I like to watch the controversial moments again, and hear what the pundits have to say.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Not the soprano- please!

Agreed, brass band required, Barber out!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Agreed, brass band required, Barber out!

Where on earth are we going to find comps for a 30-piece brass band!?

 

[Nixonator]

I'm sure she's lauded in her profession and by her peers, but I can't help but feel she absolutely murders GOSBTS.

 

[studio150]

you watch a game you were at ??

Yes do it all the time and have always done so. I thought this was normal but maybe not?

 

[wallington seagull]

It's a yes from me, I like her

 

[wellquickwoody]

Where on earth are we going to find comps for a 30-piece brass band!?

Can't they double up as ball boys or something?

 

[Notters]

It's just too ear piercingly loud in the WSU but then so is all the music.

 

[Goldstone1976]

It's just too ear piercingly loud in the WSU but then so is all the music.

Have you ever wondered if you've turned into your Dad?

 

[Notters]

Have you ever wondered if you've turned into your Dad?

You may have a point there! He thinks it's too loud as well...

 

[maltaseagull]

Well I am bloody delighted to hear that Donna Marie will be leading the players on with her beautiful voice.

How anyone can moan about what Saturday will bring us is beyond belief for me.

Get all the negative thoughts out of your head and embrace the moment for crying out loud.

We usually have a soprano sing the Maltese National anthem before their rugby internationals and it is fantastic. Really moving.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I'm sure she's lauded in her profession and by her peers, but I can't help but feel she absolutely murders GOSBTS.

Yep - all that.

Its OUR song, as she's just too SHRILL for the crowd to sing along with, so everyone just listens instead. Not the same thing at all.

If they insist on a singer, why can't they get a CHAP in to sing it, for once?

 

[papajaff]

For We're the men from Sussex, Sussex by the Sea. We plough and sow and reap and mow, And useful men are we.......................

Bloody SEXIST song!!!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Malta have rugby internationals!?

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Abide With Me - lovely stuff.

However, she's effing terrible at doing Sussex by the Sea. There, I said it.

 

[Taybha]

Triffic .

 

[theboybilly]

'Bloody sexist song!

'We stand by the sink while the men go for a drink' would fit (and sort that PC problem)

 

[NooBHA]

I like her. A bit of class on what will hopefully be a fabulous occasion.

I agree.

I don't like that sort of music; however it gives the connotation that the club has risen in ''class'' although ''class'' is irrelevant, when all is said in done there really has been a rise in stature of the club
