Pre-match opera? Great idea. Said no one ever.

[hans kraay fan club]

We've had Donna Marie Hughes in twice - and both times it was superb, and created a better atmosphere, not ruined it. Being sung by tenors would be better still..

This. She was good, the girl -but utterly impossible for a football crowd t sing along with. Tenors way more suitable, IMO.

 

[Hornblower]

What next a Yorkshire brass band when we host Rotherham next month.

I'd love a marching band like we used to have at The Goldstone.

 

[gregbrighton]

Can't we get Chas and Dave in. They are great for a sing-song

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

A White Rose county song for a Red Rose county football club could work!!!!

lol, just what l was thinking!

 

[Buzzer]

lol, just what l was thinking!

That was the point Gwylan was making. Cardiff, South Wales and Harlech, North Wales.

 

[Official Old Man]

Nessun Dorma will have me in tears, always has always will. Just a wonderful song.
Any chance of bringing back Slade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A6bksj5AGI

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I hope they give it some, like Norman used to.

He'll be there tonight, but not in the dugout.

Agreed, this is a TERRIBLE idea. The Welsh will be singing along and loving every minute of it and warming their vocal chords up to out sing us throughout the match. The Welsh bloody love a sing song. This will result in the inevitable NSC thread after the game " worst atmosphere ever from the Albion fans"

Wheel probably loose too and Sami won't clap the fans afterwards

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I'd love a marching band like we used to have at The Goldstone.

Seconded. Those were the days and they always played Sussex by the sea. At least in my recollection!

 

[gregbrighton]

How about during a match there could be a string quartet wafting Hayden's er 15th in C Major whilst everyone sits in silence listening?

Opening movement of Carmina Burana would get the fans going.



Or if you want something moving for the fans to listen in revered silence: the Adagio from Mahler Symphony no. 5

 

[bhanutz]

Winning formula? They've gone in the right direction, but people still aren't singing it properly. The best way to get people sing is to sing along. Our lot can't do it alone, as has been proved.

Nope.

So says the ultimate YES man!! crap Idea if you ask me!

 

[Grombleton]

I like the idea - it went down alright the last time i was there to see it (was it Watford in 11/12?). Some will love it, some will hate it.

 

[gregbrighton]

I could sing "Sussex by the Sea" and I would charge only a Fiver.

 

[Dave the OAP]

We sung this a few years ago at lancing college. There were a few eyebrows raised with the content...I don't know if you have ever googled the words..it's actually a very innuendo filled piece.

Looking forward to seeing the tenors...apologies to anyone stood by me as I tend to sing along loudly. Nessum dorma sung by a woman is just wrong and doesn't sound right at all! Although the lady soprano last year was lovely.

This may encourage me to get there before 7:45!

Sung men of Harlech at a concert for the sussex regiment many years ago at the royal Albert hall. Beautiful tenor lines in there, if I can remember them

 

[MissGull]

This is the only midweek that I can't make....would have loved to see Nessun Dorma...always sends a shiver down my spine.

It's hardly sacred liturgical

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

At least they won't be singing some Far Eastern ditty to inspire FC Malaysian Dragons.

 

[nwgull]

Do they know where Harlech is?

Perhaps they plan to make a return visit for the Blackburn game and entertain them with Ilkley Moor baht at

I'm sure they do. Did you know that Men of Harlech is a Cardiff City song anyway?

 

[The Large One]

Those that hate it can always go their own way. No pressure.

'Sussex by the Sea' sung by a male voice choir - I first suggested this on the Roar a month ago - or a Wad of Tenors (don't know what the collective noun is) would be stunning, whether on CD or live in the stadium.
