[Albion] Farewell fanzone

[Giraffe]

And please don’t come back.

 

[Vin]

And please don’t come back.

Ffs I went today to get on FZ.

 

[B-right-on]

Eh? You mean the new one we're supposed to be building?

 

[CheeseRolls]

I think it was just due to Richie Reynolds throwing a sickie. No fanzone, no Hey Jude - bloody fantastic. Reynolds out!

 

[Deadly Danson]

And no immediate pre-kick off music leading to.... absolute silence from the whole ground. I thought we were always told the music stiffled the organic atmosphere. As fans we are simply incapable of creating a proper atmosphere 80% of the time.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Own up: who poisoned Reynolds' pre-match sarnie?

 

[Sorrel]

Sussex by the Sea was rather drowned out by all the other noise, though - that could be better.

Bollocks. 12.30 KO does this in EVERY ground, Ipswich being an exception for obvious reasons. It’s a shit KO time, the worst of the lot IMO.

 

[brighton_tom]

Yep absolutely needed to go. Hopefully that’s it dead.

I take your point but what's our excuse for the 3pm lack of atmospheres? I also think it's a shame if Fanzone has gone - the kids enjoy it and, if no one is going to make a noise anyway, what harm does it do?

Yep. I got up early and still missed the first 20 minutes.

Yep, letting off more pyros just as GOSBTS started didn't work at all. Hopefully won't be repeated.

 

[A1X]

I prefer having GOSBTS with it fading out so the crowd picks it up, bring that back please

 

[WhingForPresident]

So much better pre-match today, hope it's a permanent change. At the very least a change of that cheesy, shit selection of songs.

Was today the worse opening day home match atmosphere since the Priestfield?

It came across so quite online.

Again, I don't understand how it was better? We exchanged cheesy songs for silence.

Just my opinion obviously, but I despise that 'medley' with a passion. I would take the sounds of the Palace coach driver in the away dressing room shitters over it, so the bar isn't too high for me personally.

The ground filled up really late today, I'd say it was still half empty 10 mins before KO. I'm sure we'll get it going a bit more before the Ipswich game.

 

[Mad as my Mother]

Not muting the last part of GOSBS was a cardinal sin imho.

I liked the medley …. a decade ago. It wore thin. Especially the “Put your hands up for Bwighton” secton.

Glad there’s a change.

Ha. Well let's give that a go next time and see who joins in
