It's cute when a a "super club" like Leeds has fans that are willing to chuck outlandish garbage out into social media because they lost to Brighton. Adorable bunch of scamps

Sorry but Leeds can never take a good thrashing well, big club? Ha!
Really? You think that the atmosphere needed "HELP" last night? Too funny!
It was the best atmosphere for a very long time. The atmosphere was cracking because of the great performance on the pitch. The NS never stopped singing (although we weren't necessarily all singing the same song at the same time). If you really thought the atmosphere was poor last night then I feel for you, I really do!

Champions of Europe as they told us in the queue for the train to Falmer...
So the club sticks a microphone in one of the stands, records the noise, and then plays it back over the speakers, but ONLY in the away stand. Yeah, because that's the first thing you'd think of during a football match? Had they not realised that they were surrounded by Albion fans, and maybe it came from those home supporters?
If I'm wrong, I'll take it all back, but I doubt it happened.

I would imagine he means during the pre-match montage when there is crowd noise played during the video...
Oh and HANDBALL!!!!!!

Don't agree with this I'm afraid. Well, it might have been the best for a while, but it was still quiet (silent sometimes) for long periods (from what I heard in the East). Not helped, admittedly, by big gaps in the stands and people leaving from 78-ish minutes. Quite bizarre and I couldn't believe how few people were left at the end.

Read my post again before you feel too sorry for me. Did I say it was poor? No. I said it was loud

This isn't the first time that it has been alleged though, according to the similar threads links. If the club have denied it then that should be an end to it.
If you can isolate the Tannoy for the away end then why not pipe through Achy Breaky Heart or Crazy Frog instead?

I would imagine, that the suggestion above, that they were unaware that there are Albion fans in boxes above them, is the answer to this.

Especially if you are at the back of the South Stand, I am not sure you would be aware that there were boxes over your heads

Until we have a transport manager to listens to the fans and their concerns regarding after match transport, and acts on them, then this will continue to be the case.
Shame, as the players deserved a full Amex at the final whistle.

Your support is not that great
Bet you any money they're on about the montage on the big screen, as has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread. And it has been alleged before, by an equally dim away fan whose club I don't recall.
Really if this kind of thing needs explaining to the Leeds fan then it's probably too complex an idea for him to understand anyway.
He may be shocked to hear that Ring of Fire wasn't being performed live by an in-house band, too. It was a recording, so the plot thickens.

See, I don't get this. In previous seasons I've got the bus back to Shoreham-by-Sea and it's been fine - largely because it leaves at a set time. While there might be a bit of hanging around, it's obviously going to take a bit of time to clear all the people out of the stadium. This season (for a number of reasons), I've switched to the train, which is also fine.
Last night, I left at the final whistle, joined the queue for trains back to Brighton – which was stationary for about five minutes, but then moved steadily – and was back in time to pick up the 22:03 (I think) from Brighton to Shoreham-by-Sea, and was home by just after 10:30! People that were doing the same journey that left before then end would have maybe saved 20 minutes? Wow!
So that's experiences of two different types of transport away from the stadium, and no major problems with either of them

You should be grateful to the thousands who leave early. Without them you would probably be in a longer queue for the train and back home later!

Lots of chat about it being the pre-match montage. Knowing it is illegal (well, not permitted then) to play home support over the PA during a match, is pre-match singing permitted or should it just be music to get the crowd going. So Ring of Fire could have the Amex backing singers on it right up until the ref blows his whistle, at which point it goes very quiet.

I guess you are towards the North end of the stadium because I am in the SWC, left my seat on the final whistle and made brisk progress to the station. Long queue but it was moving. Felt I was making good time to Brighton.
However, I was then stuck in the huge queue at Brighton until the 22:33 Littlehampton train and I would have had to have left my seat quite a bit earlier to have made an earlier train from Falmer to make the same train as you from Brighton.
I think where you sit in the stadium has a huge bearing on whether the journey home seems easy or not. Sat at the front row of the SWC means that leaving at the final whistle makes for quite a long journey home because by the time I get to the train queue, half of the North, East and West stands are already there! Having said that, it's a rare occasion that I would sacrifice the last 5-10 minutes of the game to avoid this - I just take it as part and parcel of where we sit.
