Naylor slags off Amex support

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

In fairness, that may have been because the second half was embarrassingly devoid of any kind of football. The team basically packed up and went home at half time.

Good point, well made, Easy

Need a drum and a bugle to give it a carnival vibe and more people will join in.

Leicester used clackers in their promotion race and they are still using them now. Not suggesting clackers but would I swap places with them if I had to clack? Yes.

What we need is all the women, kids and old farts to join in instead of sitting in silence thinking about what they're going to have for dinner.

Classic use of an accented name there chap

Sounds like that to me every time I hear his name mentioned. Vile individual.

You'll be disappointed with that clacking suggestion.

Agree with this. I can't help but say that Brighton is a premier league-ready club in every aspect apart from the support/atmosphere.

If we were to go up, and the support stayed vaguely similar it would be laughable in the PL.

Why would it be laughable? I've been to Villa, Stadium of Light, Bournemouth, Southampton and Swansea. Their support is no louder than ours.

My 9 year old is probably one of the noisiest people in the whole ground. And there's at least one female OAP who is on this very thread who joins in too. What we need is decently priced tickets and the self-styled leaders of the North Stand to organise themselves instead of doing passable impressions of the JPF and the PFJ.

This really is a pointless exercise on what sort of football fan you should be. It doesn't matter. If you follow the Albion, yer pays yer money and you watch them.

It doesn't matter if you sit or stand, or shout, or swear, or sing, or just shut up. It doesn't matter if you arrive early or late, or leave early or late. It doesn't matter if you wear a replica shirt, or scarf, or just wear no colours at all. It doesn't matter if you see one game a season or all of them, or how near or far the distance that you've travelled to watch a match.

The thing that does matter is that you are a fan of Brighton and Hove Albion, and with that love and commitment, how dare anyone tell you how you should support them.

I’m with Aspinall’s drum and bugle suggestion. If he says it needs something I believe him.

NSC would never approve of such a thing, but it's full of grumpy old b4stards anyway. Outside NSC though, it would be embraced by fans.

We are lacking the spring carnival vibe, which we need for the run in.

Surely this is more about actually getting hits for the argus' website. For a local newspaper, its had one of the biggest drops in readership in recent years so articles such as this are needed to keep the paper going. Surely it's his job to write articles that provoke a reaction, if it was dull and boring (like the rest of the paper) then no-one would read it and it would go bust.

Well, to start with the noise that we make (or don't make in this case) would be poor, add in a few thousand plastic fans who come along for the first time and it would be laughable.

I'm sure most of the people around me in East Upper will be glad when I move or pop my clogs

I shout/scream abuse at the opposition/ref/helper and also support the team and wait for it clap the team off.

I also shout at Houghton to go to plan B FFS!!!!!!

Last game at the Amex I went to before going abroad for a while was the visit of The Mighty Leeds. Despite us being 4-0 up at half time and with an alleged 25K 'attendance' the second half was embarrassingly devoid of any kind of atmosphere. Face it, the Amex just ISN'T a cauldron of noise and is unlikely to become one anytime soon. Oh well.

The second half was also embarrassingly devoid of any action if truth be told.

Who is this poor man Houghton? It's not the ex-Liverpool player Ray Houghton is it? Does he sit in the East Stand as well? How much noise does he make? And why do you think poor Ray can change our pattern of play?

Agree with this.

Also, sadly, Anfield has become a Library as well. It's a disease.

Edna is not the only female on Nsc.

I made a mistake --- I meant Howtun

Eric Morecambe made me laugh more than anyone in the 70's/80's/90's
