[Albion] Now, it's our turn

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

None but the biggest curmudgeon would argue that Albion are performing on the pitch.

Now, it's our turn.

Can we try and replicate the non stop support and noise that we generated in the Chelsea game when Liverpool visit next week?

We can do it. We know it makes a difference. Can the Amex crowd step up to the levels of this glorious team we are watching? Yes we bloody can. Seagulls!!

 

[The Fits]

Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school.
Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time.
Their time! Up there!
Down here, it's our time.
It's our time down here.

Do the Truffle Shuffle!

No.

No.

Marvellous

Performance on the pitch generates the atmosphere off it. Start positively and I have no doubts the atmosphere will match the performance.

Is it a generalisation to suggest that Northern club’s fans and other clubs in traditionally ‘working class‘ areas (like Millwall!) seem to produce a much better vocal support on match days than us Sussex-by-the-Sea folk? I sometimes wonder whether it’s because in areas of historical social deprivation, the local populace’s passion for football was because it was the one ‘escape’ (other than church) in otherwise extreme hardship and often tragic lives. So maybe we should check our white privilege and start making more bloody noise at home games!

Or not …

I generally agree. But Chelsea was hostile from the outset. It can come from the stands first.

That didn't come from us first.
The Chelsea atmosphere was fuelled by Chelsea.

Perhaps those in 1901 could rattle their jewellery? But yes if you normally sit there in silence open your gob and let some noise out...

Yes.

No.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

It might help if Liverpool poach RDZ and Caicedo before Saturday…..

 

[LamieRobertson]

Might do

The Chelsea hostility was heartfelt, spontaneous and a unique circumstance. Doubt we'll see it's like again for a while

 

[Official Old Man]

Always difficult when surrounded by oppo fans, which will happen Saturday for me. Don't worry though, ongoing interactions with supporter services.

I occasionally put down my cucumber sandwich and tea in bone china to politely applaud our boys and murmur “Jolly well done” under my breath. Surely there’s a limit?

 

[Mackenzie]

Important game, we simply must be up for this one. If you’re a quiet supporter, don’t be for this one. The lads will appreciate it.

 

[BN41Albion]

Like always, and like most grounds here, it'll reflect what's going on on the pitch. It'll undoubtedly start off very lively, and I'm sure it'll remain very good as it's likely to be a pretty lively game

Oppo fans should not be in home stands, simple as that.

I love a good cucumber sandwich on occasion.
