[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I've had enough of this. SHUT THE f*** UP YOU MOANING OLD PRICK. People are just trying to get some atmosphere going, if you want to sit in silence then do so. I cannot believe you are moaning about a new generation of young fans who are trying to create some atmosphere. Seriously, do one.

 

[philsussex]

I think it's a great sign of a healthy club when we have young fans wanting to sing up and create an atmosphere.

Good work and keep it up I say.

Could you elaborate on this?

Sorry, but a Manc pub team created a mighty impressive wall of noise just the other week at Withdean and shamed the home support of the past ten years. That's what i want at Falmer. Can't be doing with this choreographed Reading-like bullshit. Maybe that's the future. If so, you win, and I, and people like me, lose. Good luck with that.

Can you be a bit more specific mate? Since my first game in 62/63 we have have been pretty shit on a number of occasions. I dont know that I can vouch for me whereabouts for each occasion but will try. Certainly recall a time in the 70's when I was in North Stand witnessing what I think was our 11th or 12th successive defeat. Am sure we will find a few new fans at Falmer, and a fair few "coming back" but personally I welcome them all, more the merrier

Those handing out the song sheets, I spoke to one bloke yesterday and I believe he is also one of the chaps behind TSLR, and certainly isnt a fairweather supporter.
Those who set up the 'Ultras', although i dont agree with the concept, have been following the Albion for a number of years, despite most of whom being younger than myself.

Miserable ****

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Miserable ****

Fair enough

But is there REALLY a problem, seems an utterly bizarre thing to moan about that people are trying to get some atmosphere going before we move into Falmer. If you don't like it then just leave them to it.

THIS x 10. Answer to Boring TOM is: they are YOUNG PEOPLE, during the war years they were TOO YOUNG to do anything, people on here MOAN at 'superfans' from the old days and MOAN at youngsters trying to do something different. SHUT UP and SUPPORT THE ALBION in the way you want - and if you don't like their chants make up your own! Message to the singers: DON"T READ NSC, just do your thing, no one is going to have a go at you at a game (just imagine it: 'I am embarrrassed by the way you choose to support the Albion, if you don't stop doing it, then I am going to start a fight with someone a third of my age' - that WOULD be embarrassing!) you are a credit to the club and don't let a bunch of fat old whiners tell you different!

Hang on, I'll shout out the window

Don't shout.....you have to be in the West stand for that..

That 'wall of noise' was like watching the game with the radio on in the other room. Personally I found it rather tiresome and not at all atmospheric. They didn't react to what was going on on the pitch in any way. It seemed more about them as fans than the team on the pitch. Ho hum.

Bah humbug. While we're at it take down all those unsightly christmas decorations that are everywhere at the moment, no carol singing and no presents

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

This has been done to death but what the hell...

I think you'll find most people aren't that bothered about this whole ultras thing - most (me included) would be happy to see it succeed. But what you have at the moment aren't ultras, they're embarrassing. Yes, it IS good to see a new generation of fans wanting to create an atmosphere, but it's extremely concerning when they appear to outnumber the 'regulars'. Cheltenham is the classic example of this, and they really were an embarrassment.

I have no problem personally with anyone in the ultras, I don't know them so it would be wrong. I just think the shit they come out with makes us looks ridiculous, and makes a mockery of not only their organisation but Brighton supporters in general. If they came up with something good/original then I'd readily support and sing along, but I honestly can't remember the last time I was amused by a chant we came out with. Even yesterday, singing 'come and join us over here' to the Huddersfield fans! Why? What are you going to do?

I don't even think I blame the ultras on their own, when that thread was made for new chants on here a couple of weeks back, all of them were dreadful!

 

[Beach Hut]

Think there is room for all perhaps us late 40s lot should re-form our original firms or even amalgamate into one "Super Firm" where we can have tea parties and discuss the real burning issues that are now important like prostrate cancer or redundancy.

Anyone up for it ?
