you'll never walk alone...

[Thunder Bolt]

Part of the enjoyment of cup games, as opposed to bread & butter league games is experiencing some of the larger traditional clubs in the top flight. Part of that tradition is hearing their songs being belted out by thousands of fans. Let them sing it (I'll probably join in with my scarf held high) and hope that we have a miracle of 6,000 Brighton fans actually managing to sing our anthem at a decent pace (but I seriously doubt it)

 

[SeagullSongs]

I reckon you should add a poll:

Join in with YNWA
Wait for them to finish, then sing ourselves
Boo
Try and outsing them
We'll see how it goes

 

[leigull]

Can just about understand letting them sing it before singing GOSBTS ourselves, but to actually join in with it? No thank you.

 

[Commander]

Well we used to sing YNWA at the Goldstone.

Can you imagine the song Nazis on here if that happened now?

 

[Deleted member 18477]

you listen and respect.

then you sing GOSBTS.

 

[seagull1981]

GOSBTS slowly sung with blue and white scarves.....

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Now is the time for marching...

 

[seagull1981]

has anyone got the lyrics for a new thread?

 

[Return of the Rev]

Turn your back on it LINK ARMS AND SING THAT ANTHEM FROM POWER IN THE DARKNESS(SING IF YOU'RE GLAD TO BE GAY!!!)

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Let them sing it, and then after we sing GOSBTS at the right speed !!!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Why don't we also all join in with Glad All Over, Bubbles, No-one Likes Us, When the Saints Go Marching In, Pompey Chimes etc...

Not sure why people are even suggesting we should be quiet during it. It is just another team's song, not a minutes silence or anything like that.

Geez. How to come across as a small time club out for a big day in one easy step...

Well you see we are obviously LUCKY BOYS to be playing at fortress anfield with the best fans in the world EVAR and should stand in awe as the mighty KOP sing their little song and be jolly glad of the priveledge!

f*** liverpool, we are brighton.

We are a small club in many ways. It is changing - but going to Anfield is a big day out. It is quite possible in a few years we will send up a few coaches as we will be bored of trips to Anfield - but at the moment it is exciting. Anfield has seen the European Cup paraded 5 times, and the championship 18 times (off the top of my head). We have had nothing approaching that. You'll Never Walk Alone sung by the kop should be one of the sights of English football - and could not be further away from the songs you mention.

We Are Brighton. And proud to be so. But also respectful of the opposition. Who we will then beat - as we did in 1983.

For a guy who is happy to walk about wearing a Star Wars tracksuit top and a headband, you're getting surprisingly precious about what other people might think.

 

[Seagull Steve]

I think we should just stand and respectfully let them sing their thing (not join in, FFS), like a rugby team accepting the haka. Then as soon as they finish, belt out GOSBTS as a response.

I voted join in, but after reading hkfc's post, I wish to change my mind and go with what he said.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Uhhhh I would feel so dirty singing glad all over

I see where you're coming from but if we'd won up there a couple of weeks ago I'd have been singing it RIGHT in their faces and I'd have hoped others would have joined in.

No singing YNWA from me, other Premier League teams sure as hell don't do it, and it'd make me feel like a fan of a small Noddy team on a Big Cup Day Out. Like Havant & Waterlooville or something. Screw that, this is a winnable game for us, and I'm going up there hoping we beat them, not to shake hands with Scousers and tell them how amazing their club is. It's not like Liverpool have exactly covered themselves in glory lately anyway.

I wouldn't sing Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur, or I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, or Blue Is The Colour, so there is absolutely no chance of me joining in with that cliched old crap at Anfield. I have no issue with them doing it, it's what they do, but it would make us look utterly small-time if we all sang along. IMHO, like.

If you do choose to join in- don't forget your big foam glad hands, or half & half scarves, will you? If nothing else, they'll be useful for wiping the tears from your eyes as you reach the last few lines.

[Jimmy Grimble]

Really thought we were getting past doing noddy stuff like this as a club

If there's anyone near me singing it I'll have to boo louder than them to drown them out - otherwise I probably wouldn't be doing anything, so I guess it depends on who's around me as to what I do!

don`t join in just enjoy the experience of hearing the kop in full voice then sing GOSBTS.
Always remember the european nights on tv when the coverage would include `you`ll never walk alone` and they`d just let everyone enjoy it.
Why would you want to even try and ruin it? Lets face it you`ll just end up looking stupid.
