[Albion] Fan Advisory Panel Meeting about Amex Atmosphere, Thursday
- Thread starter tronnogull
- Start date
Do tell on the resignation? Always enjoy a bit of drama.
You don’t have to like it, but it’s undeniable this would generate a better atmosphere. Half of the WSU don’t dare shout to loud for fear of bringing on a heart attack. As for the ESU…
This is totally contradictory. The older fans will have seen us through Gillingham and Withdean. They support Brighton far more than some 17 year old who’s only there to stick gak up his nose

The dissident refused to stand when Paul entered or left the room.
The others therefore cold shouldered the rebel before and after meetings. So he did the honourable thing and fell on his sword.
Was a bit of drama at the time. Massive attention-seeker (twitter/Facebook) who claimed he was ‘bullied’ pretty much as soon as he was elected.
………..and yet the old, middle class fans bitch about the ‘drug taking pissed up youth’ who stand where they want at away games and shout obscenities at the oppo. It’s almost as though we lost an almost complete generation of fans due to playing shit football at crap grounds at some point.

Blimey if I took notice of some of these posts I’d give up my ST, as I’m considered too old and sit in the wrong area

(Awaits to be shot down in flames) I’m pretty happy with Amex match days and the NS atmosphere this season’s been great.
No complaints here.

Might use that on the next campaign. “The candidate for Gak using 17 year olds.”
When we play well, people are noisy. When we play shit, less so.
I would suggest that this is fair, right and proper.

the atmosphere is down to the fans , if they make a racket then the atmosphere is produced , if they don't the atmosphere remains flat , it's not rocket science , there are large sections of our support who just do not and will not sing or make a racket.
I should probably add that, of course, not all 17 year olds are off their nut and many are helping the atmosphere. But if you're just there to take coke, as it seems a sizeable minority are, then you're obviously more interested in that than football.
That's literally what an atmosphere is. Kicking the ball is down to the players. If they do then we have a game of football
Not quite true. They seem to manage for odd games. Literally the whole ground singing for Sheffield Weds at home. The atmosphere normally picks up for Palace as well. But for most games our fans are reactive, even the supposed singing leaders in the North. We'll never have proactive fans in terms of atmosphere and putting it to a committee to ask why is a bit pointless IMO. No different to other grounds either. Villa is a "proper" ground with "proper" fans and they were silent until they scored against us last season. United's atmosphere was terrible this season. Fulham is every bit as middle class as its reputation.

Playing songs at the right time either before or after has an effect on the atmosphere, as does what you put on screens, what you say over the tannoy, the amount of people in the ground and who they are and where they sit. Drums, pyro, flags, can all play a role (or not) . And so on -Yes - you can’t control what happens on the pitch but it’s just glib to argue it’s merely down to if we’re winning or losing. Hence worth discussing and trying things.

yes indeed , some of the best games i've been to for atmosphere were in the 80's with large crowds of pissed up men just basically being a nuisance and making a din for the whole game , i have been to football in Morrocco where the atmosphere was unbelievable where alcohol was virtually non existent , at the risk of getting flamed we have a lot of mums and kids and a lot of older supporters who contribute very little to the atmosphere , went to a midweek game a few years ago against Birmingham and ended up sat next to a mother with 2 young kids ......its a real mood killer at the football.
So basically we’re saying…
Stand where you want,
Change the fans,
Put the kids and women in one stand,
Get everyone pissed,
Put the away fans in a part of the ground where they can’t see the game,
Oh, and play exciting football or have exciting scorelines.
Easy.
And, no drum.
Can we have fences and barbed wire too? I always think they add to an atmosphere.
In all seriousness, they key thing is not to over sanitize or organize the entire experience and to let the crowd organize itself a little more. And that principle, or access to that experience, should run through as much of the Amex as possible.
There’s a reason certain clubs have certain groups who ‘create an atmosphere.’ It’s because they let them get on with it.

We don’t have a signature song that everyone knows, we have a few chants different songs about players but no real fans anthem.
