[Albion] The timing of the pre-match GOSBTS

[Bob!]

Revived another thread here.
Thoughts on GOSBTS pre kick off. I think it's worked
BUT
Anyone else noticed how the oppo seem to take an extra minute in their huddle? Saints ended their huddle Friday and moved into their pen box and had another one. KO delayed until 8:02 by which time GOSBTS was well finished along with the Albion chants. How do we get around this? 11 BHA players in position and ready, stadium in a frenzy but the oppo team amble up to the line by which time we've all fallen asleep or gone for our first toilet break.

Sing the second verse?

Just kick off and force the ref to act

Sing the second verse?

Is that the one about throwing the jocks into the sea? I'm IN!

Apparently it's the chorus, not the second verse.
Not found a reference to throwing anyone in the sea though.

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 to Sussex, Whoever you may be,
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea!

You disappoint me.
I have been living under an apparently false apprehension that the past was made from petty sectarianism and casual violence.

I was hoping more for this:

For We're the men from Sussex, Sussex by the Sea.
With sharpened pitchforks in our tiny hands,
And violent men are we;
And when you go to Sussex, if a sweatie you may be,
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
As we throw you in the sea!
