[Albion] Atmosphere in the north stand today

[BN9 BHA]

Very quiet at the East side of the North Stand today, it's louder in the WSU where I usually sit.

Other than the Tattooed Bird and the bloke with a coconut in his ear who in my view are both egotists I thought it was desperately crap.
I stood directly under the police box and no more than twenty of us made a sound.
A few around me must have been recently weened off of their mothers nipple when they put that banner up at the end fffsake

I had high hopes for the NS today given that people could move seats, but sadly the singing was limp.
That bunch under the police box just sing songs to please themselves, not big crowd rousers...

Went North today as was hoping for more an away game style atmosphere. Fuming when I got to my seat and found myself next to four twelve year olds on their first big day out. Should be an age limit or at the very least a key swear words test to gain entry.

Was sat in the northern end of the lower West and I was shocked just how quiet the North was.

N1G was loud today. There were a lot more kids than normal.

Sat in my season ticket seat at the back of the north near the police box and the first thing I noticed when I went up from the concourse was how many under 16’s sitting on there phones/tablets around me paying little or no attention to the game.

I've got enough kids (four) thank you very much!

You have got enough, one
Keep the other 3 away from us Simples, thank you very much

Too many not in the right place left everyone a bit discombobulated!

People actually sat down in the centre of the North Stand!

WE WANTED TO TRY THE WEST today (sorry just noticed the caps) and my god did i miss being in the north,dead quiet... did not realise how much the stadium relies on us in the north ! cant wait to get back there for swansea

North was poor today. Completely out-sung by away support. It's never going to be great anyway with all the middle class early leavers.

I don't get it, why don't you just try and join in with them?

It's this kind of intransigence and bloody mindedness which causes the disharmony. Do you just want Albiyaawn reeled off constantly?

It's taken half dozen seasons for our support to get the hang of the "since I was young.." tune, most seem to struggle with it still

Not really true, "Tony Blooms Blue and White Army" on continuous repeat (normally started by big Dan) is one that should have wider appeal than it does. I believe they also came up with the Goldson Spandau Ballet one that was widely sung at one point yesterday.

"Pass the Bong to the left hand side, Gaetan Bong" is a lesser known Police Box Crew effort sung to Pass the Dutchie...

Sorry mate but it's largely true what he says. That is why the NS is so disjointed when it comes to singing. I hear it all the time from West Upper

You are aware they aren’t popular songs yet you continue to drone on and on with them that’s exactly his point

I loved the Sisu Out banner

 

[The Birdman]

Thought the ESU was the loudest home section today, well done to those that contributed, thought WSU very poor today.

That's because half the WSU were in the ESU.
Well done Coventry fans for making a good FA cup atmosphere even though it was hard to understand what they were singing.

Didn't we just do to Coventry in terms of atmosphere what Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Manure did to us?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Didn't hear a peep from cov??

Normally East Upper where we are a loyal aging lot who have been going to matches for many years, Very few kids and the same people in the same seats for years.
We sing "Going up for to win the cup"
For Coventry I was down in East Lower where it was good to see lots of kids, many there for the first time and I hope will be back.
They sang "Stand or Fall"
After that very little noise.
The problem with the North Stand was, well the North Stand weren't there. They'd spread themselves out trying other seats.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The North was quieter than normal.
Mainly because so many non-regulars decided to give the North a go for this game.
There were just five familiar faces around me.

I didn't hear much from Coventry, apart from when they scored and when they sang, your support is ****ing shit, ironically
