Atmosphere tonight - don't complain if.....

[NS Herald]

It's crap.

To start with we've got the square root of FA to look forward to in terms of home form and we can't all stand like we did at Orient

However IF the team play like they did in the first half as they did on Saturday then I am sure it will get the crowd going. At the moment it is up to them to inspire us at home and not the other way round. There have been too many disappointments this (and last) season and now they need to start playing with determination and aggression from the start.

When we are 5 nil up at half time we can all actully enjoy our Bovril for a change

 

[Easy 10]

As pointed out elsewhere, we have scored ONE league goal at home since last October.
I think a crap atmosphere is pretty much a gimmie all the while that little stat continues to fester.

I'm taking this with me tonight -

And I'm going to stand with my back to the pitch, facing the marvelous fans of the South stand like they do abroad, innit. It's going to be MEGA.

 

[Gazwag]

I predict the lowest ever league crowd at Withdean

 

[Superphil]

Samhale, you'll either be thrown out, or you won't get in with that.

 

[Mellotron]

There's a phrase that has stuck with me recently -

"Don't complain about the traffic, YOU ARE the traffic."

and it's spot on here - Don't complain about the atmosphere at Withdean. YOU ARE the atmosphere.

By Withdean's standards, I thought it got pretty good at points against Millwall in the 2nd half, from where I was sitting (C Block). Put a roof on it and immediately the noise is at least tripled.

To answer my own question (not that I think it will be anything like as low as this)... I think it might be 4395 v Cheltenham a couple of seasons ago.

Any lower?

[Badger]

This will be my first game of the season

It will be a Brighton goal FEST

This will be my first game of the season

It will be a Brighton CONCEDING goal FEST

Fixed for you

This will be a toughie. After the seven one result, we must be low on confidence going in to this game...

This is said before every single home game, and every time is it exactly the same
Your right, we do need to get alot more people joining in, but i cant see it happening to be honest :US:

I'd prefer to think the players will be well up for turning around the most embarrassing League score for over a decade. I bloody hope so anyway.

I fear the crowd may have given up already though

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Would J Block-ers kindly not start singing 'Tell the Huddersfield to sit down' at the stewards tonight if the away supporters are standing? By all means get behind the team, let the stewards do their job.

NO! We must sing! Sing! SING SING SING! OR the result we bring! Won't mean a thing! So let us sing! Sing sing sing! or the loss we record! Won't mean a thing! I can't believe i'm gonna post that

 

[The Large One]

Bring me Sunshine, in your smile,
Bring me Laughter, all the while,
In this world where we live, there should be more happiness,
So much joy you can give, to each brand new bright tomorrow,

Make me happy, through the years,
Never bring me, any tears,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.

Bring me Sunshine, in your eyes,
Bring me rainbows, from the skies,
Life's too short to be spent having anything but fun,
We can be so content, if we gather little sunbeams,

Be light-hearted, all day long,
Keep me singing, happy songs,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love.
