[Albion] “It was deafening at times”

[The Fish]

Some little Palace fan tweeted yesterday something along the lines of "Have loads of Brighton fans come dressed as blue seats". One of the poorest attempts at trolling I've seen, even for one of them.

Or maybe he really was that stupid, as the tweet was posted about thirty seconds before half time....

Also mocked the atmosphere. In contrast to Selhurst, where the atmosphere is no doubt out of this world currently

Wasn't it a record attendance for the AMEX yesterday?

I am not saying we arent loud at home and certainly sound a lot better than previous seasons, The last 10 mins their was a real buzz all around the ground.

But is there a little bit of we dont have much nice to say about them, even though they won so we will say their fans are loud. It was same at West Brom, we got little credit for our performance due to west brom being so shit, so we got bigged up for being a noisey crowd. Its happened to teams like Stoke, Palace and Boro in the past.

You can generate a fair old noise by booing.

Well, not according to that other media powerhouse, the Newcastle Chronicle "From the very first minute until the last, the only real sound you could hear with the Amex was that of the travelling Toon Army, who were as vocal, jovial and supportive as ever - packing out an entire end of the ground".

did we give the toon more than 3000 ?

Was it just me or could you hear singing going on in the concourse while Chappers and Co were on the pitch for their MOTD2 round up?

Doubt it..and they didn’t have the entire end

Perhaps they should adopt the machine gun instead of the, silent assassins favoured, slit throat gesture.

The last minute

Wow the toon army were really trying to get their side back in the game there, they just ran out of time.

C'mon, that was obviously all those Geordies still wailing about our'goal' that wasn't a proper goal, and Hemeds brutal assault on Yedlin

 

[Pavilionaire]

Henry Winter is a good journalist and he's right to mention the atmosphere. I thought the crowd DID make a difference yesterday and judging by the supporters around me the fans are making more of an effort to make clap, cheer and sing.

Paul Merson was taking out of his arse when he predicted the Amex will be a ground the opposition look forward to visiting.

Paul Merson was taking out of his arse when ...

This can prefix literally anything he has ever said.

 

[crookie]

Crowd was great again yesterday, credit to the Toon fans though, made a lot of noise, unlike west Brom who were pretty much silent until they scored

 

[The Large One]

Yup. Officially 198 short of capacity - and most of those (if not all) would have been for the segregation bit.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Palace do seem to be finally learning what true football fans really want though. I mean: I've not heard that embarrassing goal music once this season.

Comments from Sky

Home form key for Hughton

This was Brighton's second consecutive home win after their 3-1 victory over West Brom. The atmosphere was electric at the Amex Stadium and Hughton feels their home form gives them a platform to build on as they battle against relegation.

"Home form will be important, more of our wins will be at home than away from home," he told Sky Sports. "We have to make sure this is a tough place to come, we've been good here the last few seasons. We have to build on a solid platform."

Also, and perhaps more relevant to the 'Bell cheeses at work' thread but loving the fact someone in the office directly above the Seagull to the left of the banner felt it necessary to green up their view by having plants on the windowsill. Presumably the pitch isn't green enough...

Well done to all those there.

Don't know how many we gave them, but according to the club's twitter they brought 2,958.
