Anyone been to Highbury before?

[Happy Seagull]

Going tomorrow, and just wondered what the atmosphere is like?

f***ing ace...well it was when i went to watch a team from Sussex win a match that put them in a Cup Final

 

[Da Man Clay]

Nope, allthough ive heard its shit.

 

[Bigtomfu]

Yep, pretty quiet but Chelsea are noisy buggers away from home.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

depends which end your in.

ive been in the northbank a few times and luckily ive been in the seat behind the main chant starter a couple of times. makes the game fantastic!

Albion V Sheff W semi-final 1983.

What a day

 

[Jello]

Been a couple of times, once to see super seagulls the other time was Arsenal v Leeds about 10 years ago. I was in northbank for the leeds game and all you could hear was the leeds fans down the other end

 

[Happy Seagull]

I'm in the Northbank with the Gooners.

 

[Seagulls over Lewes]

f***ing ace...well it was when i went to watch a team from Sussex win a match that put them in a Cup Final

Have to agree with you there Icy

 

[Goodfella]

It was brilliant in 1983, but that was because of the Brighton fans, went a few seasons ago when Arsenal lost 4-2 to Charlton and the atmosphere was shit.

 

[1959]

I took my young son a while ago on a trip with his football team. I'd never been to a Prem game before. I suggested we went in a bit early to soak up the atmosphere. Ha!
It was like we'd gone in on the wrong day. We were about the only people in the ground until 5 minutes before KO when suddenly it all filled up.
It was like being at the opera. Everyone in the bar until the bell went, then they all took their seats and sat back, waiting to be entertained.
Atmosphere? It made Withdean seem like Galatasaray.

not known as the HIGHBURY LIBRARY for nothing.but the local derby edge should help

 

[Braders]

yeah , went last season for a champions league game , a bit quiet actually , nice enough ground though

 

[Redhead]

I've seen Arsenal a few times North Bank or West Stand is where its at, but remember to respect their peace and quiet, remember you're atching artists not footballers.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Take a few books - it's a library. Although it should be better than usual as it's the Chelsea game

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

its a much different experience though.

when u go to watch arsenal its often an air of expectancy, where victory is pretty assured and we expect to be entertained by the best players in the world, so the atmosphere is far more relaxed.

brighton however, we are against the odds, it feels like a constant battle as we know loss is more than dissapointment, its us edging closer to relegation

far different mindsets.

 

[cardboard]

Padded seats in the north bank

Posh or what!!!!

 

[robbied69]

I live in Highbury. Unless your in the Clock End there is no real atmosphere. The other areas are very much a "prawn sandwich brigade" as R Keane would say. The Clock End is where the working class fans are.

 

[Starry]

Plenty of times. It's an awful atmosphere. There is more noise in a library.

We were there and lost 5-0, Henry scored a hat trick and his 150th goal for the club and not once did they open their mouths. Beat us 4-1. Not once did they open their mouths.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]
