Did anything ever come of the proposed banner at the back of the north stand? Thought it looked great in the photoshopped pictures of it in place.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Stand or fall

Abort, retry, fail
I have seen leaflets issued by stewards saying "Stand and you'll fall".

Had a chat with Richard Hebbard after the Leicester game and said the club are fine with it going ahead.

The problem is stand or fall as a statement on its own, doesn't mean anything to anyone other than people who know Sussex by the Sea.
for those who don't know the words...
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.
For we're the men from Sussex
Sussex by the sea,
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
And useful men we are we:
And when you go from Sussex,
Whoever you may be,
You tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the sea.
Oh, Sussex, Sussex by the sea
Good old Sussex by the Sea
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the sea.
Light is the love of a soldier
That's what the ladies say
Lightly he goes a-wooing
Lightly he rides away,
In love and war, we always are
As fair as fair can be,
And a soldier boy is the ladies joy
In Sussex by the sea.
Oh, Sussex, Sussex by the sea
Good old Sussex by the Sea
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the sea.
Far o'er the seas we wander
Wide through the world we roam,
Far from the kind hearts yonder
Far from our dear old home,
But never shall we forget my boys
And true we'll ever be
To the girls so kind that we left behind
In Sussex by the sea.
Oh, Sussex, Sussex by the sea
Good old Sussex by the Sea
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the sea.

Just a thought, but before Crawley do get too big for themselves (if not already), we should lay our down our rightful territorial claim and just have a simple banner that everyone understands....
"You are now in the Kingdom of Sussex"
"You are now in the Kingdom of Sussex"

Shouldn't it say stand or fall for Sussex by the Sea then? If you're going to do it. Stand or fall is a pretty common phrase but meaningless without context. I don't know, just a suggestion.

That would be too long.

Your support is not that great
Why not "now let your hearts be gay?" Worth it just to see how many arrests it could lead to in the away end.

That was my design. If anyone ends up sorting it out let me know and I'll provide them with the artwork.

Actually upon refection, I'm not so keen on that font. If one of you lads from NSK can finalise cost (shouldn't be a lot between a few of us), printing etc, I think we should have a VOTE on the design.

IMO, That would look good with FOR SUSSEX BY THE SEA in smaller text underneath the STAND OR FALL
Only thing is, I'm not sure if we'd be allowed to use the club badge on it if we made it

Surely that's the point, it means something to US
