The Great Escape Theme

[ManOfSussex]

Is/Could/Should The Great Escape Theme become our second song?

On last night then it's a yes from
Me

 

[RM-Taylor]

I don't think so personally and also thought that it should not have been played over the PA but instead let the fans create the atmosphere, last nights efforts at getting the chant going which then stopped after about 45 seconds as not many joined in were pretty woeful, unlike at Hillsborough where it was non-stop for 30 minutes.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

For me it's only relevant in certain scenarios, like last night, THAT Burnley game etc. Isn't that the whole point of it?

 

[ManOfSussex]

Dur-dur-dur-dur-dur-dur - BRIGHTON!

 

[Lincoln Imp]

It's fine as a one-off but using it regularly would imply a victim mentality. Anyway, half the Great Escapers got shot.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

In last night's circumstances it worked very well but as a rule should be used sparingly for when we're up against it.

Exactly, the absolute wrong psychology, suggesting we're always battling on the back foot, up against it etc.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

While it sounded great last night the I don't think the Great Escape is the right tune. If we were bottom of the league and fighting relegation yes but if we have to have an additional one to GOSBTS then shirley we can find something more appropriate to a team that is looking to beat others almost on merit, certainly by skill and endeavour and flair and not just fighting to the death.

Maybe Dambusters?

Colonel Von Luger, it is the sworn duty of all officers to try to escape. If they cannot escape, then it is their sworn duty to cause the enemy to use an inordinate number of troops to guard them, and their sworn duty to harass the enemy to the best of their ability.

Take note Newcastle United & Aston Villa.

You mean like when the ref is Mike Dean?

 

[Hillian1]

Maybe we could get a shit brass band to sit in the North repeatedly belting it out too.

 

[studio150]

Maybe Dambusters?

The bombing of water dams is now outlawed and would be a war crime, so the music would not be appropriate.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

No, it was great against Burnley and Wednesday because it was spontaneous and what we needed, it will lose all affect if became a regular song.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Definitely NOT. Whenever I hear it blasted out at an Albion game, I just know that it spells out the message that we are expecting a defeat.

One observation about the flags that were handed out last night ... Once it got dark, the blue flags became almost invisible. All that I saw was 10,000 Albion fans waving white flags. It was hardly the inspiring message that was intended.

Looked good from ESU.

Didn't they all mostly get shot in the end?

Shuey McPhee got machine gunned on the wire when it was clear that his head has gone. Cold-hearted wankers.
