To be honest, with the bloody poetry we had at half time, the bloody cherleaders, and now some people wanting to get rid of GOSBTS, being the only thing left that explains why we have an identity at all, thenif they change it or get rid of it then that will be the final straw. Football is sh!t enough these days with all seater stadiums, out of town grounds, some clubs playing music when a goal goes in, naff half time entertainment, poetry, some collection for something opr other and all the rest of it. Nowt wrong woith poetery but not at football. Collections, maybe once a year but not every week. Cheerleaders and bloody music at half time, god hep us football is shit.

I thought GOSBTS was a Sussex folksong with additional verses first sung by soldiers during WW1 as they marched into battle.

We could have a Fatboy Slim track played before GOSBTS , where we could taunt the away fans - "You're not from Brighton"
t was, people went into battle singng it but no that "put your hands up for btn"with a gil in pink wellies talking poetry is much more modern so we must do that. After all, its what they do in america so we must copy it. I think that we should also eat popcorn and have hot dog sellers and also we should have games split into quarters as well

i think gosbts will sound a lot better when it is blaring out from a decent PA rather than the bloody grammophone it is played out on now!!

Blimey "gramophone" = state of the art. I thought it was an old cylinder type recording with all those crackles.

For the VERY FIRST game at Falmer ... the team should come out to this. Never mind GOSBTS, I would just love to hear 22,000 voices provide a rousing rendition of the words that we all know.

And we ALL know why we would want to sing it.

Can't believe people claiming SBTS is not motivational. Granted, it might sound a little quaint on our current PA system (and current recording), although I'm not sure that's a terrible thing anyway, but just consider the atmosphere when they played the version after we'd won Play Offs at Millenium Stadium. Okay, so it's not going to be that emotional every week, but I can't think of a footie tune (with possible exception of Liverpool's YNWA) that is as perfect as ours.
How anyone could possibly want to change it amazes me - we have a regional specific anthem for our own which exudes the heritage of the club but is also a belter of an anthem for any stadium and any crowd. The fact is most clubs run out to shit music or terribly cliched stuff like O Fortuna by Carl Orff (search it on youtube if you don't know what I mean - you will!). We zre the luckiest club in the land that not only do we not have to suffer that shit, even better we don't have to kill the atmosphere every time we score with ANOTHER rendition of Tom Hark.

spot on and whilst we are at it, no more bloody kids reciting fcking poetry, o some bloody anorak on the pitch with some bloody presentation, and if you ask me, keep the bloody gullys girls and that poxy gully in the family stand. Can I have my football club back please?

There are very few posts from you that I agree with but on this we are kindred spirits.
GIVE ME MY FOOTBALL BACK!
Eh? Why would we want a disco remix by some 1990s has-been? You might as well get Attila to do a recorder and crumhorn version. And as for the bonehead who suggested 'Praise You' ... well, words fail me. But if we're going to have stupid suggestions may I suggest My Chemical Romance and Welcome to the Black Parade? Very inspiring and would definitely get the crowd going far more than something you'd hear in some Ibiza club.
And there's the problem. All the suggestions so far have been bits of pop ephermera or arrangements that will be largely forgotten in fifteen or twenty years time. Not only will we not agree now but in a few years time the next generation of Albion fans will be wondering why the team run out to 'grandad music' - a bit like a lot of people can't stand the dated music that Attila plays. We are SO lucky that we have a song that is uniquely ours played in a timeless fashion; you may as well suggest we change the name of the club from the old-fashioned Brighton and Hove Albion to something more modern. How about when we move to Falmer we have a complete break with the past and call ourselves the Sussex Sabres?
PS - Us older fans remember back in the 1970s when the club DID ditch GOSBTS in favour of a really hip, modern, with-it, funky, up-tempo number. (I think it was the theme from 'Rocky'). The experiment was very quickly abandoned as the team ran out to a chorus of boos!

I'll decide, thank you.
Can't believe SBTS is so popular. I've always hated it but as the team have to walk out now I don't think it really matters what you play. Walking out? Stupid, stupid, stupid idea.
They should run out to a chorus of boos.
