4-way N-E-S-W stand Brighton Boys chant? (merged)

[Rich Suvner]

So much easier going by the directions on a compass (as you would say them in real life), plus if we finished on the west it should be the loudest and maybe everyone will join in and not just the side nearest the north.

So I would go N - E - S - W

Is this a serious post?

You're actually suggesting that the atmosphere within our ground should not be determined by impromptu singing and chanting but by an order based on geography and instrumentation

FFS - some people need to get a life on this Board! this isn't North Korea and I'd rather that we didn't use drums or other regimented ways of orchestrating an atmosphere that should simply occur organically.

Am I the only one who hates this chant? It goes on for ages and just gets in the way of watching the game and supporting the team. Sure, it's good noose, but surely our noise should be songs and chants that actually support and encourage the lads on the pitch, not just random shouting at our fellow supporters?

I love it - think it sounds great.

Does this inter stand banter/chanting happen at any other grounds? When watching the Leeds game on telly, it actually sounded really good and added to the atmosphere in my living room - even though it's such a simple chant.

I don't think they're suggesting something quite as bad as that; just when that chant starts, there's an order in which it is sung. Otherwise, whoever starts it's everyone one else 'replies' at the same time; which is messy.

What you'll end up with will be......We're the North Stand etc; barely audible; silence; We're the West Stand.......

Its a good idea in principle, and I'm all for it, but the reality will be a bit crap. Probably.

 

[John Bumlick]

Ees complicated..

It's not exactly complicated!

yeah, you fellas have no chance of getting this sorted....

 

[Rich Suvner]

when the East and South make enough noise to warrant their inclusion (by pre-arranged means or not) then we can discuss this. challenge set.

Celtic do stuff like this

I remember after the Sunderland game they said they loved it and wanted to get it going there.

What it needs is for the north to start, at the end shout east, then the east to do their bit, then shout south, then on to west for them to finish and shout north, and around we go.

Chances of that happening, hmmmmmm!!!!

I agree, the current stand needs to give an indication to whos next or it will turn out as a free for all.

 

[Silent Bob]

yeah... but what happens when the West start it?

Then it goes to the north. Seniority counts.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

95% can't even sing SBTS properly how about we try at get that sorted before attempting something 5,000 times harder

110% this - get the whole ground singing that, not at 10000mph, then we could have a go at it.

 

[c0lz]

It will end up with north/south stand vs East/West stand.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

yeah... but what happens when the West start it?

The west stand don`t start any thing

Any noise is a good noise, the louder and longer the better. The players don't care about the words (unless it's a song about one of them (and we don't have too many of those!)) but they feel the atmosphere. The Burnley game was a great example of this. Silence and apathy in the stands (oops, seats!) is the killer.

Fair enough.

crazy as it sounds, it will be EASIER with 4 stands than it was with 3...as many have posted before, the East got drowned out...

Just let the North start it off, us in the West will hold back, let East, then South go first before the West to climax the first round, before the North start us all off for round two...

marvellous scenes

 

[greyseagull]

All it needs is for the MC to get us going before the game (as he does with songs in FanZone) so everyone knows what order you are sticking to. "Alright off you go North Stand..........and East Stand........"

All it takes is an email or tweet to the Official Albion handle to get this moving...

In fact, I'll email PC now.

The west stand don`t start any thing

Well that's bollocks for starters. I'm in the West Stand and, like a majestic ship cruising into the night almost Titanic-like, slowly gaining momentum before pulling away at a rate of knots, the volume does increase slowly, beautifully, symphonically, harmoniously; and I can confirm that songs have been started in our delightful, tranquil stand.

I need to stop drinking at lunchtimes.
