NO ONE is disputing the fact that we all hope there will be a better atmosphere at Falmer.

Like most, I think it will just happen though, and no need for meetings.

Those of you that just naively assume that the atmosphere will be good and sort itself out are somewhat missing the point. Firstly, consider the Play off final? The atmosphere was on the whole poor. It was poor because you had lots of fans who clearly have not been for a while or at all before and secondly because there were lots of pockets of fans trying to get chants going but they were all split up singing different songs at different times.

Secondly, other teams who have moved into new stadims have noted the issue of fans being split up with no recognised 'noisy' part of the ground. In hindsight, if they had planned before moving in they could have got likeminded fans all sat together.

If you want to sit back and assume it will all be ok then fine, chances are you may be right. But quite why some people feel the need to criticise fellow fans considering some options to make more noise really does not make sense.

Where I sat in Cardiff was a superb atmosphere

Other clubs to move into a stadium can't even compare to what we have been in for the last 10 years.

People are negative as many singers are probably concerned that the North will turn into some shite flag wearing gimp fest , with songs similar to that of H block.

People are suspicious due to the gimpy nature of the internet

but crack on, it's good for the kids to be enthusiastic.

Well there are almost 90 people signed up to this on Facebook so it's potentially got legs. Why do people think this is about kids? I'm in my thirties and am another who just want to see some life and colour at Albion games beyond the usual tediocre chants of "Albion, Albion" etc. Christ, if it's something new let's not even try it, let's shoot down in flames anyone who tries to do anything inventive for this club eh?

I'm one of those 90, doesnt mean i think its a good idea nor will i be at the meeting

i STILL dont understand what will be said at this meeting to change anything at withdean? and once we move into falmer, just agree on a singing section, we'll all meet there and the amazing 22 000 seater stadium will lead us to the atmosphere not the other way around
