seagulls4ever Posted 9 December 2004 Posted 9 December 2004 BRIGHTON FANS HEADING FOR THE TOP 40 IN SUPPORT OF OUR NEW STADIUM AT FALMER! ‘The whole thing’s daft We don’t know why We have to laugh Or else we’ll cry Our ground’s too small The costs too high Without Falmer Our club will die’ ‘Tom Hark (We Want Falmer)’ by Seagulls Ska is currently at number one in the Amazon.co.uk Hot Pre-Release Chart, above Cliff and Elvis, and number one best selling single at hmv.co.uk! It’s a rewrite of the Piranhas’ classic football hit by a bunch of ska-loving Brighton fans, reclaiming the song for the Piranhas’ home town with new lyrics supporting Brighton & Hove Albion’s four year campaign for our new stadium at Falmer. All profits from the single will go to our cash-strapped club’s Alive & Kicking Fund. As you may know (if you’re really unlucky you may have been there!) the Albion are currently stuck at Withdean, a totally unsuitable 7000 capacity athletics ‘stadium’ - though we have a massive fan base and took 31,000 to Cardiff for our Play Off Final win last year. The single is released on January 3rd on the Falmer For All label, manufactured and distributed by our main sponsors Skint Records. We aim to try and hit the Top 40 in the following week to gain extra publicity for our stadium campaign, one month before the public enquiry restarts.... We are asking everyone to help us by publicising our efforts and by pre-ordering the single now from the Amazon link below. Thanks very much!

Alexikokopops Posted 9 December 2004 Posted 9 December 2004 I remember going to watch Lincoln City against Brighton at the Withdean in the 2000/2001 season!! The same season that Division 3's top 3 scores were: 1. Bobby Zamora (Brighton 28 goals) 2. Brett Ormerod (Blackpool 22 goals) 3. Robbie Earnshaw (Cardiff 19 goals) Lost 2-0, but Lincoln won 2-0 at Sincil Bank, ha.
