This must never happen!
I hate to hear it at any ground and would despise it at the Albion. It dilutes and cheapens the deeply primal response of roaring in the affirmative to seeing your team score a goal.
I've had a few of them my whole life as far as I can remember. I notice them for a few seconds every few months or so and then filter them out normally.
Of course having read this thread today I can't stop seeing them at the moment.
Gah!
Are you referring to me?
110 odd posts in 4 years (more like 9 years if you include the time before I registered) suggests I'm not exactly an attention seeker.

I think I'm being left behind due to lack of activity.
The community is very friendly though, which is a nice change...
A fine post KSH; a lot of us have real sympathy/empathy for your current league plight ('there but for the grace of God...'). And many of us don't take to despising people simply based on the town they come from.
