" Worst support we've ever seen" chant

[Paxtonlad]

Why? Both are spot-on. Neither compare them with us. Are you a closet yid, jumping to their defence all the time?

Spot on?

Well since you're being pedantic abouot it: there's not actually an area in north London called Arsenal (there's only a tube station), and while we may no longer be a big club, we're hardly a small club either, I don't see how that chant can be "spot on"!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

No, no longer a major team - even in London where the Gooners and Chelsea dwarf them!

Like i said Chelsea and Arsenal are bigger than them but they are still a big club

 

[CHAPPERS]

So are we, compared to Crawley.

Both much better teams than Spurs now, in the recent past and for the immediate future. No argument.

But in terms of support, Spurs are a bit smaller than Arsenal (had bigger support until early 90's) but still well ahead of Chelsea. You have to remember that it was only a few years ago that Chelsea were struggling to get more than 15,000 at home games. Buch of johnny-come-latelies. If ever there was a set of fans that didn't deserve a rich benefactor, it is them.

The atmosphere at the Boleyn was electric from the home support when you came there



It was even worse (if it could get any worse) against Sheff utd on bank hol monday !!!

There are times when it's hard to believe some of the rubbish written on here. And this is one of those times. Spurs are no longer a major team? Arsenal and Chelsea dwarf them? Really?

Average attendances this season:

Chelsea: 41,818 (98.5% of their capacity)
Arsenal: 37,887 (98.4% of their capacity)
Spurs: 35,833 (98.8% of their capacity)

In terms of attendance rankings, Spurs are currently the 9th biggest team in the country. Only three clubs (Man Utd, Newcastle Utd and Portsmouth) get closer to filling their grounds for every game.

Spurs are a big, big club. End of.

Although it's tempting to moan about other clubs' home support when we are so loud away, but our equivalent is just embarassing. We're in no position to take the piss until we create something approaching an atmosphere at Withdean.

I think that you have overlooked one small point. You should look at tickets sold, not attendances. I'm sure that Chelsea and the gooners sell-out, but some fans don't bother going. On the other hand the yids are too tight not to use their tickets!

What on earth is that supposed to be based on?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I think he is trying to be funny

How thick are you? Yids=tight?

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Oh. Help, my sides are falling apart with the humour. You're as funny as Ebola.

 

[Lush]

I find the "worst support we've ever seen" chant embarassing as it's obviously a big fat LIE, along with "we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen." and "stayed with a big club" to any player/manager who's had the audacity to leave us (wasn't that sung at Yeates on Sat - I mean WTF?).

But since when has singing in support of your team (and against the opposition) been about telling the TRUTH?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

o i see a nice bit of anti semitism

 

[mr turd]

Must say that song i.e worst support we have ever seen is crap,also im getting bored with stand up if you want falmer,its bloody obvious we want falmer for christ sake grrrrrrrr.

'Stand up if you want Falmer' should be changed to 'Stand Up If you Want to Annoy the Stewards'.

Worse support I have seen this year were probably Watford, who didn't even celebrate when they scored.

I've often wondered what the point is in chanting 'stand up if you want Falmer' at away grounds. I can understand using the chant during a televised game - it may give the stadium campaign a bit of national publicity then as the TV pundits may comment on it - but what is the point of chanting 'stand up if you want Falmer' at somewhere like Crewe for instance?

 

[Pavilionaire]

It's sad that a large number of Albion fans think that singing ANY song that takes the piss out of the opposition is funny, however inappropriate the song actually is.

If the Albion aspire to be a big club this minority of muppets better wise up, otherwise this club will be a laughing stock in the eyes of fans of any club currently bigger than us.

It's great that we get on so well with the Doncasters and Wrexhams of this world, but you couldn't blame the average Spurs, Wolves or West Ham fan for giving Tom Hark a miss.

 

[mr turd]

Thats that sorted now then,no more stand up if you want falmer crap.We have done more than enough to warrant a f***ing stadium,but also we shouldn't even be doing this full stop.

New stadium shouldn't even be questioned full stop grrrrrrrr

 

[Starry]

Its never quiet at whl sat was the first time i have been there and the home fans where quiet.
must have been because it was a cup game

Always been like a morgue when I've been there. Almost to scare to cough in case I wake the Spurts fans.
