I agree but could it be improved.

It's tradition mate. Maybe it could be improved but I wouldnt want it to be.

 

[Muzzman]

Right GOSBTS, should we ditch it.

Of course not.. it really stirs the heart and sends chills up the spine hearing GOSBTS.. I bet fans of teams that run out to the Star Wars or Rocky theme don't get the same feeling we do when our team runs out to a song that means so much to us and the area we live in.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The quality of the tannoy lets us down.

I dream of a proper brass band playing GOSBTS on the pitch at Falmer.

 

[BensGrandad]

I agree but could it be improved.

By playing a version by either The Massed Band of the Brigade of Guards or The Grenadier Guards or even The Royal Marines.

 

[cannedheat]

Just wondered as a couple pf people on the phone in want it changed.

 

[Trigger]

Leave GOSBTS as is it, don't even think about changing it... It's been tinkered with at the cricket and it just does not sound right, whilst it's still GOSBTS it certainly isn't a great version, I'd much rather they used the traditional version like the Albion do.

Unfortunately until he has gone I see it always being this way.

The stupid thing is, it's got nothing to do with ability.

It went on when Roberts was here, who despite being ten times the keeper Kuipers was or ever will be, copped exactly the same sort of abuse. We hardly do ourselves any favours when it comes to attracting/keeping players.

We're the team from Brighton
Hove by jove, that's us
We're always fair
We never swear
But now it's hit or bust
So shout you fans and make them score
Clap your hands eer the untilt they're sore (Clap clap clap)
Cos we're going up
To win the cup
For Sussex-by-the-Sea

That's the words to the second verse, but does anyone what comes after, in the first verse:-

We're the team from Sussex
Sussex-by-the-Sea
Now we're going to cheer the boys
On to victory

?

I don't agree. Kuipers is, and always has been a quality keeper, and to be honest pisses all over someone like Henderson. However, I think Roberts was probably the one goalkeeper we have had in the last 5 years who was as good as Michel, and I don't think he received particularly large amounts of criticism. I think he quickly earnt the respect of the fans, and his era is the ONLY time since Kuipers has been here when we have had TWO truly class keepers.

I think you've got a rather distorted view of Kuipers' actual abilities. I'm sure he's a legend and all for the part he's played in the club's recent history, but there's a reason no club higher than League One have ever shown any interest in him.

Surely if he was as good as Ben Roberts, who was only playing for a club at our level because of his injury problems, he'd be snapped up by a Premiership club? A Championship one at least.

In reality, he's a decent keeper at this level, but that's his ceiling.

Asa season ticket holder I have no problem with giving free tickets to school children through the schools or if accompanied by a paying adult but I do have a problem with the club selling tickets for adults at a reduced rate having given them nearly £1000 when they needed it in the summer.

I don't mind that either but to just hand out free tickets full stop seems a bit of an insult to season ticket holders.

 

[Gazwag]

I quite agree, Constructive critisism of the players, fine, slagging off, no.

I'm sorry Trigger but that comment is very hypocritical of you, or doesnt it apply to managers, being that you had a "Magoo Out" signature for at least the last year to eighteen months

It says players in the original statement, they are the ones out there giving their all, they are not the ones standing there hands in pockets without a clue what to do.

 

[Gazwag]

Yes I know you said players but I feel managers deserve respect as well, ok you may have been ultimately right, but your hate for McGhee was far to early IMO
