[Albion] Just heard a rumour about the East Stand last night

[TomandJerry]

Apparently they started a song last night.

Can any East Standers either confirm or deny this?

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I must have missed that one... There was plenty of singing going on though, amongst about 9,000 constant 'wanker' signs all directed to our left.

I think the West put in a decent shift last night, in fairness.

I believe it was the Simon and Garfunkel classic - Sound Of Silence.

Place was rocking last night - exactly how it should be for a scum game. Certainly got to a certain goggle-eyed cheat time and time again

 

[Nixonator]

South West corner started a few which spread to south half of WL. If only they could do that every match.

 

[Official Old Man]

East Upper sitting at the back there is a lot of singing that goes on. No, we don't start any songs but we do join in with the north. But with the north singing then they just cant hear us. But then the price of our tickets "we pay for your train, we pay for your train, we come by coach but pay for your train"

 

[DataPoint]

Well that's just not right! We sing our hearts out from beginning to end - but we're up against the prevailing westerly - our voices just don't carry past the touchline in those damn winds! If you westenders look very closely, you will see our mouths gaping perpetually.

Seems like some people consider themselves better fans than others. A bit puerile?

Oh for christ's sake

 

[Wozza]

Leave the fan in-fighting to Palace. Not needed here.

 

[Eeyore]

We ROCKED THE PLACE.

Albert was chucked out for farting in the Palace fans general direction (and thus knocking out Glenda) and Cyril was waving his flask angrily, sorry his fist angrily, at Zaha most of the game.

It got a bit out of hand when Mary threw her knickers at Bissouma at the end. We thought the bra was next and the stewards just covered the eyes and wouldn't intervene. It wasn't over until her shirtless husband, ERNEST, stepped in.

We DID start a rendition of 'We hate Palace' but most of us had forgotten which team we were playing by the time it was repeating.

...its a lot louder in ESU that some peeps give us credit for!

Goes hand in hand with the early leavers threads. Is there really a need for it? Goes beyond banter.

 

[Monkey Man]

Was in the family stand (block B) and there was no shortage of singers around me. Occasionally people would start their own chants and a few might join in but I don't think we got a song started that the rest of the ground picked up on, except coincidentally.

Ground seemed loud and proud in every stand from where I was sitting.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Scurrilous rumour. All we do is mumble a couple of lines of GOSBS then sit down and watch the game. Anyone starting a song would be most frowned on, and encouraged to take residence elsewhere.

 

[Invicta]

Rocking in the middle front. We broke Zaha !

I often sat in ESL or ESU during our promotion run-in matches. Plenty of widespread singing then, it was bloody amazing.

"Hello darkness my old friend"

You sure it wasn't coming from the Palace fans?
