The Chelsea games show that what we really need is at least one person to BOO for the entire match.
I suggest we all agree who to hate for the day.
Unless Wayne Hennessy* gets to play I don't know who for forest.

*Though given Musk got away with his Nazi salute and the general rise of fascism it seems unfair to single him out.

The giant flag at Withdean was pretty impressive IMHO
The brown envelope that passed along the stand for Chesterfield was even better 😁 Now THAT's proper English football fandom.

I'm an ageing git but football was just so much funnier in the old days. In fact, just more fun, full stop. Then the stats nerds and self-appointed tactics "experts" took over the narrative, fame-chasing TV wannabes spotted their bandwagon and rugby-loving middle class marketing wonks made work for themselves by 'packaging' a sport that's entertaining enough without all the bells and whistles. To put the tin hat on it, the traffic wardens in the middle then decided to become stars of the show.

Bring back the 90s! (minus the shit team, relegations and homelessness).

'We've got Knockaert, Anthony Knockaert,
I just don't think you understand,
He only cost a mil & he comes from Brazil,
We've got Anthony Knockaert'

My kids have never forgiven me! :lolol:
It took me from Brighton to Wembley & a couple of pubs on route for me to learn Dunks song on the semi final. Took me bloody ages & my kids telling me loads, to learn the De Zerbi & Caicedo chants & then they buggered off!!
From the middle of WSL it's just a mumble.

I'm proud to say I've learnt Georginio's chant now. (y)
Yep I'm up for an app so I can know some words to songs (I'm not going to be looking at it during the match though) & yep I've given our seat numbers to wave a flag as I'd bought tickets for the North specifically to be able to join in with singing. Last time I did that for a cup match (which was admittedly a few years ago) the stand was half empty & there wasn't any singing. I had tickets in the North for De Zerbi's last match & it was great.

Don't let me down North Standers & if my kids abandon me for singing the wrong words, let them seek refuge with you. ;)

Just far enough away from LDC
God lord. NO. Apps with song lyrics?! All together now “my old man said be a Palace fan…”

As for the dreaded flags of doom, fine for the kiddies who probably love them. And that’s about it.
I can now reveal the official PBOBE approved lyrics

'My old man, said be a palace fan
I said no thank you I dont want to be one of them
We took the north bank in half a minute
We took the shed with the chelsea in it
We hammered the hammers with inflatables and banners'

Sing along everybody....coming to a stadium near you. Soon!

I can now reveal further lyrics from the PBOBE approved songbook. Altogether now...

'Floss your mouth out son
And go get your father's mum
Play whist with our Palace chums
With our Palace chums
We rate Palace!
We rate Palace!'

This.

I've sat in the East Stand since the Amex opened but in the early years regularly went to away games - this meant that although the ES only, in any numbers, joined in with 'Albion . . .' and 'Seagulls . . .", I did at least recognise a few of the songs coming from the North even if the words were unintelligible.

It was the so called 'tinpot' decision by the club to put the words to GOSBTS on the screen that got the majority of the stand singing along. It has been noticeable that since these have been removed the volume has decreased.

Who cares if some self entitled fans declare that words on the screen, song sheets or apps are 'tinpot' if these can help other fans to join in the fun and at the same time possibly add to the atmosphere in the stadium?
I haven't noticed any decrease in volume and note that the words to GOSBTS still go around the pitch-side digital advertising panels....

Identify as a musician and glue a glockenspiel to your arse,the person stood behind you will soon find it utterly mesmerising and start banging out some choonz on it,for those on a tight budget perhaps a Kazoo,just don't turn around if someone is blowing it.

Can we get some Americans in? They know how to create an atmosphere.

Oh, I've been singing this wrong for years, I thought it was "One Man went to burn, went to burn down Selhurst..."


Pass me the songbook.
