Narrator. The atmosphere was predictably poor*Agree. Really tough game today
Seriously, come on. It was good until villa's anti football antics, the awful stop start nature of the game, and the lack of opportunities totally killed the game. What on earth do you expect in those circumstances? As i said earlier, name another ground in the country that wouldnt have become frustrated/subdued with that game. Villa fans were quiet for long spells too... until they went 2-1 up, surprisingly eh.Well that didn’t happen. A bit like a library today
crowd only really gets behind them when we are either , abusing an ex manager or scoring lots of goals.
typical Brighton home fan….same at the goldstone, gillingham, withdean and the Amex.
very sterile today…like the football.
barber out
Perhaps you are right. I am just totally f***ed off having waited at least an hour to get the mill hill bus which then worked its way through patcham to avoid traffic on the a27 and I finally got home at just short of 6 o’clock!Seriously, come on.

They were silent for the first 20 minutes.Listening on the radio at work all you could hear was Villa, they sounded like they had a great day out.
Sorry to hear... not what you need on a sunday after that farce of a gamePerhaps you are right.

I am really seriously thinking about knocking this all on the head now after 48 years.
didn’t help putting Tottenham and Chelsea tickets on the exchange and not being sold.
so I am in a bad mood.
Yep - not a peep till the pen. Funniest chant from them was 'you're only here to see the villa' ... I mean, wtf...They were silent for the first 20 minutes.
Something changed around that time …. a penalty was awarded.

I know it's taboo because of them up the road but I agree.We need a drum.
Absolutely this GOSBS was belted out at the start and throughout the first half there was plenty of vocal support. Obviously come the second half going behind and all the time wasting tactics etc somewhat stifled the atmosphere but the crowd round about me were still urging the team on. Nobody is going to be deliriously chanting and singing continuously when faced with what was happening on the pitch towards the end of the game.Thought the atmosphere was pretty good in WSU tbh, not off the scale but better than usual (excluding Chelsea)
NoWe need a drum.

I even said to a friend at the conclusion "at least no-one can blame our fans for the failure today" and then this thread proved me wrong! I should have known better!
Lots of noise in last 20 minutes but rather than it being shouting and singing encouragement to the team it was complaining about the referee and Villa. By then Villa had done a job on us and the officials and the points were their’s.Yeah this.
Lots of good noise in the North.
Even had both sides singing the same songs for large periods of the first half.
Team responded to it.
The second half was flat and the tram gave us nothing to get behind.
Villa and the Ref made up for it in the last 15 though.
