The view from the West Upper

[Notters]

My block has 2 letters and a number in between, bit confused about the block numbering to be honest. Either way the view is still gonna be awesome

W3E - west stand, 3rd tier, block E

I am W3H, guess that is close then? Errr i think, towards the North Stand end

I'm starting to think that maybe all us North Standers SHOULD take out a PSL. Cos if all you WSUers find out its rubbish due to being half-full of moany bastids, then you'll be absolutely GAGGING to join us behind the goal and will pay ANYTHING to be where we are



Seriously though, will be just GRAND to have competing stands raising the roof. Game ON!

Brings back memories of the Goldstone late 70's glory days when we had both the North Stand and South Stand (NTR) as singing ends, with possibly the South Stand edging it, well for one season at least!


As you say Tom - Game On, should be good. Now, how can we get the East Stand singing as well?

It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. I've been watching the Albion since 1977 and we have never had a history of a brilliant home atmosphere. The North Stand has been very vocal on occasion but this has generally been it; we never had sustained singing in other parts of the ground. I personally think this is how it will be at Falmer.

Don't you worry about us - we will be loud as well. Without the swearing.

Glad were all together on this..............we can have a Mexican Wave.

Very true. The *only* time I ever heard any chanting and singing from any other part of the ground was from the East on the very last day at the Goldstone. I couldn't get a ticket for the North, so ended up in the East and it turns out the East was full of people like me.

I'm going in the family stand at Falmer owing to the fact my 9 year old is coming with me. Had it just been me, I'd have gone into the WSU.

I don't understand that comment. (WSU w/8 year old, as you know.)

There is a difference in the price of the U10 ticket, Bozza.

 

[Cheshire]

So with Dick Knights Mumm and Simster leading the singing in the East - sorted - noise from all four sides of the ground, providing the away fans turn up!!!

c£5 a month isn't it?

I did think you might say the 'language' but recent trips to Bournemouth and Rovers have taught me that my little 8 year old princess already knows pretty much every word going leading to humorous moments like her singing...

"We're... <pause> ...brilliant" on Saturday.

how many Rows does the WSU block W3H have?

oh how i do LOVE reading a thread of old men resorting to playground banter of MY STAND WILL BE LOUDER THAN YOURS when they are at the SAME match.

Also the generalisation that those in WU have spent more therefore can't sing as they wont be 'that sort of person'

Me and my mates have bugger all money, will be 24, are WU and will be vocal. But that doesn't even matter. Im there to watch my football team, not to compete in a 'im louder than you' competition which would mean losing my immense high up viewing point which is why i picked that stand.

No offence, but if you (or anyone else) can't work out that W3 refers to West Upper, you should have your ST revoked. Or be sent off to sit/stand in the North Stand.

this aint the tennis or the world cup. if i see a mexican bloody wave i will be fuming. quick question on this argument over north stand/west upper crap... only block H sing at the mo and id imagine they will be north stand so where are all the 'loud' WSU's in the withdean? maybe get behind your team more this season and next season's atmosphere debate can continue IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

just a thought...
