Astonishing that such sacrilige has attracted as many as 4 votes (at time of typing)

W&I - I think you may have slightly misjudged your audience here

I have followed the Albion for over 30 years and Good Old Sussex By The Sea has always been our tune to walk out on the pitch to.

However these days I think it sounds totally dated, and a bit rubbish.

I think Fatboy Slims brilliant Put Your Hands Up for Brighton should definately replace it.

Does anyone else?

It's not brilliant, it's embarrassingly crass.

This thread got me thinking - so I slapped together a little You Tube. Poor image quality and crap editing, but you get the idea:

Having read all the responses, I have to agree with the ones that talk about having a better version of GOSBTS made in time for Falmer.
The version we have had all these years does the tune no justice and doesn't really 'get everyone going' as much as a majestic version like someone said they played at the Millenium Stadium.
It is indeed our tune...it could just be a whole lot better.

Put Your Hands Up For Brighton works well as a warm up record or maybe could be used when we score...just a thought.

I'm not one for change generally, I am a traditionalist, I just think that the version the we use at present has maybe had its day...like someone said...it sounds like an old 33rpm being played through tin pot speakers.

I just want something that will really really stir the crowd and probably a 'beefed up' version of GOSBTS is the answer.....time for another poll?

GOSBTS
Any other old codger remember when Mike Bamber replaced GOSBTS back in the 70s? He thought anything played by a brass band was too old-fashioned so he replaced it with some God-awful tune that was VERY 1970s; very 'in', very 'with-it'.

It was a short-lived experiment as the team would run out to a chorus of boos! (The reverse of today when they leave the pitch to a chorus of boos - Wednesday excepted).

I remember they had a Big Band orchestra on the pitch for some games during one season as pre-match entertainment. The team used to run out to them playing Glenn Millers 'In the mood', (I think it was Allan Mullerys favourite tune), exciting times eh !

:lolol:

Yes, it is a thought. Just another very, very stupid one. Enough of this crap already, in the nicest possible way.

GOSBTB is already 100 years old, and with all due respect to FBS his stuff won't stand the test of time in quite the same way.

What he really needs to do is create a banging remix of GOSBTS. I see the appeal of a modern version of an old classic but a brand new tune at the expense of our traditional anthem is not desirable.

GOSBTS is classic and is as much a part of our tradition as the stripes.

Keep it!

If GOSBTS was a shite dirge or as DULL as, say, Goodnight Irene (sung at Bristol Rovers) then you may have grounds for a reasonable debate.

But it isn't. GOSBTS makes my hair stand on end sometimes. It's passionate, it's local, it's ours.

So you can f*** off with your shit poll. :thumbsup:

I was playing cricket in Corfu Town a few years ago, and there was a brass-band entertaining the spectators at the side of the ground. When they started playing GOSBTS, not only was it a surreal moment, but also somthing I'll remember for the rest of my life...

Indeed. On a long ago birthday, Mrs P and I were enjoying cocktails in The Grand when I got up to go to the loo. When I came back into the bar pianist started playing GOSBTS as Mrs P had asked him to when I came back. I nearly burst into tears *sniff*
