Most of the videos online are just instrumentals. Perhaps he could visit the Amex next season!

And it's all gone quiet..
Very good, but it started to annoy me how he put the word 'and' at the beginning of almost every line.

I am sure people look at me and think who's that old t--ser' when I sing the 'correct' words every time the team come out pre game or pre second half.
OF COURSE it sounds much better and indeed it is absolutely pointless singing the going up to win the cup thing when, a) we are not going up and, b) we are out of the cup.
Sussex was endowed with a wonderful song by Ward Higgs in 1902, adopted by the RSF as a marching song. JC., this is a part of history like no other club anywhere has.
I do wish we could get it right !
I feel your pain but for some reason people can't sing in time to it efore the game, in fact there seems to be lots of people who cannot even seem to clap in time.
I thought at first it cant be that bad....but having listened now I totally agree with you [MENTION=22043]SeagullSongs[/MENTION]

Brilliant, thanks for sharing. For years I've sung reap and sow and plough and mow. Now it all makes sense.

Sussex By The Sea
Further
and though I have only been in Sussex for Forty Years, here follows the original words as far as they fit in with the club, ie the pre match music etc.
Sussex by the Sea W Ward-Higgs 1902
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 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
As I said, I am not originally Sussex but WTF, it still fills me with pride and emotion given how it originated.
STAND OR FALL !

Just for the record ... The singer is Noel Dumbrell, who was born and brought up in Ashurst in West Sussex where his grandfather owned the pub, The Fountain. He's now in his eighties. The recording was made at The Royal Oak in Lewes. in September 2011.

No we don't. Norman Wisdom's words were "Oh we're going up, AND we'll win the cup for Sussex by the Sea."
As others have pointed out, that line made a lot of sense. Claiming to be going up somewhere to win the cup, when you're actually playing a league game, doesn't.
