[Albion] Sussex by the sea - ending?

[Seagullroyal]

So who sings what at the end of "Sussex by the sea"?


As an old git (in my 50's) I have always sung "And we're going up, and we'll win the cup, for Sussex by the sea".


However, since the words have been put on the big screen over the last few years, and the say "Tell them all that we stand or fall for Sussex by the sea" it seems that lots of people sing that?


Last week I noticed that it sounded like most people in the north stand were singing version 2.

What does everyone else sing?

Version 2 every time.

 

[Norman Potting]

The correct version ie 2.

I always used to sing "going up to win the cup for Sussex by the Sea" although have changed now to stand or fall. But occasionally I forget and try to backtrack " " going up to stand or fall"

Stand and fall which it is meant to be. Not sure why that’s so hard to remember

Because for decades we sang going up to win the cup?

 

[trueblue]

‘Stand or Fall’ these days. Better words I think.

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

Stand or fall. Wish everyone would sing the same as it sounds a mess with both versions being sung at the same time.

And I’ve drained my cup and I’ve eaten up, my sausage, pie and peas.

 

[Mackenzie]

Stand or Fall.

And for a number of years we have sung the song correctly as well and it’s not that hard to do and 2 different versions sound a mess. Either we should of sing what we have sung for years or try and make the effort to sing what we do now.
Even now I’m sure on the day it’s a 50/50 split that I hear all around me.

Stand or Fall is gradually taking over. As it should.

Excellent. Get it on the screen and they'll sing it.

Always stand or fall,as it should be.

I thought that it was great to hear it being sung at the end of the game v Arsenal it seemed to be so spontaneous.

In the cup we should sing version 1 and the league version 2

I don't think many sing that. Don't people sing 'And we're going up, to win the cup, for Sussex by the sea'?

But Stand or Fall is the correct historic version that was written in the Great War, and it's about Sussex men who gave their lives for the country. It's miles better than the going up to win the cup version. It also makes sense, because our players do stand or fall, but they're rarely winning a cup.

'Going up to win the cup' for me. Always sung it since my first game in 1978.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Wasn't it Norman Wisdom who famously taught the players to sing the up/cup version back in the 60s? I guess it stuck from that.

This. Definitely much better this year.

Going to take a while longer but we will eventually get right one of the best club anthems in world football (still be rubbish though compared to "Glad All Over" by The Dave Clark Five...).
