I finded it unpossible that you failed that Inglish exam

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I find it impossible that you failed that English exam

Has a valid point though.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Has a valid point though.

about the singing or about 'mine and your' spastics?

 

[ruthers]

If you build it he will come.....play decent football he we will sing

I would venture that a footballer should be able to execute his chosen profession within the noise levels at which he attained such a standard. Shirley any noise encouragement should be an added bonus and boost performance to an even higher level.

do you mind? we're all Brightonians, the only real winner of the Eurovision song contents
were Abba, don't recall any spastics in it though.

Blame it on the middle class.

Apart from the middle class being virtually non-existent nowadays, it's always nice to pin the blame on someone.

The middle class and the upper class tend to make the finest singers in our land. Maybe it is the quality of song that lacks.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Going to dwell in the past, be nostalgic and show my age.

A midfield of (in content rather than numbers) Nobby Horton, Jimmy Case, Danny Wilson and Liam Bridcutt would, I feel, generate sufficient passion, commitment, and dare I say skill to ensure home losses be kept to an absolute minimum. Leicester and Burnley were brushed aside, yet Barnsley, Ipswich and Huddersfield have proved to be more than worthy opponents.

 

[Soulman]

Out sung by a bunch of farmer boys! shocking!

You are always criticizing. I think it is plainly obvious that you are in the East Stand, which is like a morgue. You had the chance to add your vocal support by moving to the NS to help, but you would prefer to moan and leave early.

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

Sorry Dr but my point stands despite my poor spelling and grammar........you ****

 

[Goring Gull]

Didn't sing, they didn't win either. Another bottle job in front of the Albion "faithful"

 

[sydney]

middle class fans ashamed to stand up and make noise.....unless dark (midweek games).

nah....i really am starting to wonder , particularly after the picture showing fans laughing at williams just after they scored , if that was Goodison , Anfeild or dare i say Selhurst he would be getting dogs abuse.....but no , not from our little sussex munchkins " oooh look is shawts ave come off.......hoo , hoo ,hoo tee ,hee, hee."
really think there needs to be some segregation in the crowd......family , pensioner and singing sections well worth discussion imho.

I did my time in the Goldstone north from the age of 11 to 17,i don't think the north stand need another middle aged man waving during fan zone? The esu has the best view and although quiet you get the best aspect to assess the general atmosphere,too many fat old gits in the north,we need large groups of younger fans getting together. I did suggest to tb that when seats went into the nw corner it should be a 14-21 age section but rr won with his fantastic fan zone idea

This.

So many aspects of this thread are true. The football has been, let's say average, at times which does not help. Commitment on the pitch WILL generate support in the stands. Chants start in one place and are taken up in all good faith elsewhere but wildly out of sync. Balls to the 'middle class' theory, any prawn sandwich brigade are long gone, but the away games prove that the siege mentality generate a good atmosphere. A large ground with varying views and loyalty value will provide divides.

Get over these, get behind BHA but also continue to call a spade a spade, whether this be in words or with your feet by leaving when you've had enough.

Rant over

All true. But also, by definition, the larger the crowd, the lower the percentage of hardcore sing-till-we-drop go-to-every-game fans. Just as, again by definition, the away fans are the most devoted of the visitors' fans, and they are all packed together so their singing will sound more impressive.

And the performance on the pitch did almost nothing to lift the crowd. Very little urgency, and too many safe passes that keep possession but do very little to hurt the opposition - JFC, sadly, has come to epitomise this. No coinicidence, surely, that the two bench players whose names drew the biggest cheers when their names were read out were Calde, who visibly gives 100 percent in every second on the field, and Kazenga, who can infuriate but always looks to make something happen.
