I left the Amex in a SECAMS ambulance before our game against Fulham last season. It didn’t take me home though.

Funnily enough, I remember some FCUM fans chanting “One song! You’ve only got one song!” to us.This is age old to be honest, any decent atmosphere or singing in unison disappeared along with the North Stand roof.
I remember having a drink with some FC United fans after the 4-0 up at Bury and they were very complimentary about Brighton fans but then one of them piped up “yeah, but you’ve got a tired old songbook”
Our response? “Two teams! You’ve only got two teams!”
They shut up after that.

20 year olds who have only lived the Amex era won’t relate to the dark days. Whilst some older fans can’t quite believe our recent achievements younger fans will see it as the norm.
In my teenage years the highlight was losing to Notts County at Wembley for this lucky lot it they have been on a European tour.
Ultimately, yes, you are right. And your last sentence is spot-on. I think it's incredibly cringy, but if the choice is to hear that or nothing then "f*** off home" is way better.
And while we're at it let's re-instate that one that we apparently got from St Pauli. (Appropriate as we've now got their manager). People objected to it 'because Palace sing it'. Never mind telling opposition fans to f*** off home, we should say that to the Song Police.

haha good reply, yeah I know it's not, but threads like this are Dad like.Oi, you cheeky git!No, our support are not all middle class Dads!
I think the chant is shite, this maybe down to some trauma experienced after Wembley (not really trauma, but f**king annoying). We were in a train queue at a different station (as I thought I'd be clever & avoid the main station). It was raining & there were young kids in the queue, it was all we heard! Made worse by the group that pushed past kids in the queue, singing it while they shoved them out of the way.
It should be reserved for Man U only when they come to town.
Yours sincerely
Not a middle class Dad!
Edit to add... It was being sung on the train back to Brighton as well!!!

Agree, but absolutely no way sing that song. Tried in NS once and it caused a few arguments haha
Christ almighty it's embarrassing.
I couldn't hear any Brighton chants over the Forest fans on account of them taking up the entire South stand and my seat being fairly close in WSL.
What I will say, is that noise carries so poorly in the Amex, It's horribly sound inefficient. I'm sure the NSK are relentlessly singing and conducting the crowd (they are after all the loudest fan group, I'm told) but in the south half of the stadium it's just dominated by away chants (until we went 2-1 up).
