Is there going to be any sort of demo at the withdean on sat?

[Superphil]

Er, I'm a little concenred about the idea of leaflet drops, the potential for litter is a worry. Basically everyone there should know the plight, the ballon thing inside the ground would have impact.

What's the deal, after we score our first goal?

On current form, most of the balloons would be flat by that point.

How about we do something really astonishing, something highly out of the ordinary that will make people sit up and take notice?

Like play really well and beat Bournemouth for example.

A bonus point for the first person to spot Meridian TV referring to the game as a derby (either "local" or "South Coast" variety), somehow implying that we give a shit about Bournemouth.

Like everybody sitting in their seats before the kick-off, and remaining there until the final whistle has sounded?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Brilliant, Everest.

 

[Everest]

Why, thank you my Lord.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

If we all went and stood on the running track at half time and refused to go back to our seats for the start of the second half , would they delay the start of the second half until we were all seated again?

We only have to stand there for about 10 minutes after the second half should have restarted.

It would be peaceful and the players wouldnt get cold as they can stay in the changing rooms.
Plus it would get some coverage on Sky as they always have a man at the game,along with Meridian and the radio!

 

[Everest]

Knowing the FA, they'd probably charge the Albion with failing to control the crowd.

i like that idea

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Cheers MRRF!
I thought it was quite tasty as well

I've heard on the grapevine that H Block are planning to sing 'Stand Up If You Want Falmer'. At which point they will do just that. As will a small number of souls in adjoining Blocks J and G, plus a dozen or so stalwarts in the North Stand opposite H Block. Er, then they'll all sit down again...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I know Withdean isn't great for singing, but the Tom Hark version of We Want Falmer sung at Wycombe was very catchy, so I'd like to think that would start up and continue for a while.

Particularly if the game is dull and there's nothing else to do. We're bound to be the main game on the Meridian Match, as it is their aforementioned "derby" so we need to make ourselves heard above the 400 grannies travelling up from Bournemouth.

 

[Superphil]

Suggestion for making a noise on Saturday, and on all future games.

There are NSCers sitting in all different places in Withdean. If we have an agreement that if one stands up and starts singing, then all the other NSCers in the vicinity stand up and start singing. I know from experience that when I start singing plenty of people around me start.

This might get things going a bit, might even inspire the team a bit, like we did against PLymouth.

small number- one person (me) who will then get evil looks and be told by some old geezer behind me to sit down!

Nice idea, but you know it won't happen

The Tom Hark "We Want Falmer" thing at Wycombe worked well although I almost guarantee that just won't work at Withdean. There are too many miserable old dudes there who just want to moan and sit there in silence. Literally

 

[Turkey]

Oh so because a pub is called a pub you can't say, "I'm going to the pub?".

 

[Turkey]

Remember how good it sounded at Withdean when trying to keep Coppell.. We can do that again.

Stomping the floor, singing the Tom Hark Falmer song.

Just hope we don't get the same result as the Coppell chant recieved.

 

[Bozza]

I think there should be a demo against people who say "the Withdean".

There may be more important issues around right now, but this is one I hold close to my heart.

So strongly do I feel about it that I may just stage a personal boycott of the game on Saturday.

 

[Yorkie]

Suit yourself Bozza

Your voice isn't that loud anyway

The Bozza's boycott.

 

[Bozza]

In fact I am going to boycott both the city of Brighton & Hove and Sussex itself.

We can overcome.
