Text zu Sussex by the Sea
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.
Good old Sussex by the sea,
Good old Sussex by the sea,
You may tell them all we stand or fall,
For Sussex by the Sea...

Was ist die Geschichte hinter Sussex by the Sea?
The original 1907 song runs to several verses, but Brighton fans homed in on the rousing chorus from the very early 1900s. The club officially uses a Grenadier Guards orchestral recording when the teams walk out at the Amex.
