Noise

[clarkey]

I thought in the first half the WSU was actually louder than it had been for Donny, which was awesome. North also sounded very strong but faded away a little.

In fact halfway through the first half WSU was trying to get the North to join in the West stand/North stand chant without much success. Took several attempts and much jeering before they finally sparked back into life. Not sure why that was. Perhaps the wind was knocked out of their sails by the away fans singing the "ultras" song, which I have to admit did make me chuckle.

All in all, a great atmosphere when everyone joined in, and thankfully less of the "stand up if you hate Palace" chant that most people don't seem to enjoy.

From the back of the North I heard neither of the things you mention. Just me, or am I going deaf at 21?

I think the East Stand Chants put eveyone off. The first time I heard them I looked over at them, and then heard the South Stand cheering the first goal!

The East stand singing must have jinxed us! Don't do it agin!

. Bit of a lull just after half time, but that's normal.:

Due to delays getting food/drink/toilets I guess. There were loads missing when the game kicked off, many coming up the stairs not realising the game had started again

I agree WSU was better than two weeks ago, you cannot really hear the away supporters songs from the north.

Sounds as if the noise just doesn't travel then. I sit right at the south end of the WSU so the first attempts at starting the West stand/North stand chant may just have been up my end. If you didn't hear the Blackpool fans singing the "ultras" song then it's definitely a problem with the sound carrying because they were quite loud where I was sat.

Still a cracking atmosphere regardless

I think its down to the accoustics and general buzz of people talking etc around the ground drowning out a lot of the North stand noise and probably vice versa.

I'm in the West Upper, towards the South stand and the noise from the North stand does seem a bit muted at times and sometimes its only when a lot of people join in that you can hear them properly, such as the north stand of the Albion chant, usually i can only hear the 'The Sea, The Sea, The Sea and the woah -oh -oh- ooh' part of it

Acoustics in there are strange. Didn't hear a peep out of Blackpool all game.

 

[DT Withdean]

From WSU, I thought NS upped their contribution today.

Since the Amex opened and from where I sit in the south end of the East Stand the West sounds far louder than the North, by a long way. The North sing more often but when the West gets going it is f***ing LOUD

 

[salty seagull]

I was in the west stand and I thought the North Stand did us proud.The whole stadium was rocking and i think the acoustics are fantastic.I`ve been watching Brighton for nearly forty years and was old North Stander and I don`t care how people exagerate about `the good ol` days`,this is the best it`s ever been.

 

[Silent Bob]

West Stand massively outsung the North Stand listening to the radio , also sounds like they now have a bit of competition from the East Stand

When the East Stand started singing we conceded the first goal! Never do that again.

 

[melias shoes]

i really want the north stand to be really noisy, i really do. But today lads you were poor. Wsu was far louder at times and i think next season people should relocate to nearer the away fans.

Sent from my inbred hatred of all things south london .....hd

who cares.the atmosphere is fantastic,North,east west take a bow.
West stand 13,000,North stand 3000 doesn't take much working out does it.

North stand today was terrible(atleast around me) I kept trying to join in with the songs being start over on the right side but no around me ever joined in.
