Erm whats that bad about Shoreham
It has a large power station rather than a nice sandy beach, I can't imagine loads of OAPs in coaches going to Shoreham for a holiday.
Shoreham isn't really bad it's just nowhere near as nice as Bournemouth
Sorry Soulman I think this has gone over your head a little, nothing wrong with banter and everyone singing some decent songs, but I just don't think this one worked.
I can just imagine the Bournemouth fans having a good laugh at our expense
We had ' small town near Arsenal' the other night at Spurs.
As for lighten up, I was taking the piss, just a little
Fair enough. It's just that the fans tend to really get behind the team at away games and have a laugh at the same time, often resulting in cheeky and silly banter
I must admit i get peeved with the "Did you hear" and "that's a crap chant" and "those lads near the police box" whinges, by many (and this is not aimed at you) by fans at home games, and many who were not even at the away games.
I do wish that the precious would not just sit and "judge" the support and actually joined in and lift the players.
It is no surprise that our away results are better than our home, could this be because of the support away, or lack of it at home.

But they don't play in Bournemouth. They play in Boscombe, which absolutely IS a shithole.

But we are Brighton and Hoveeven worse than I thought, you couldn't make it up!!
If 'small town in Boscombe' was heard I wonder what genius thought that one up
It's like away fans singing to us ' small town in Hove '
Ok thanks for clearing that up, it was the Portsmouth bit I was more interested in.
Cringeworthy springs to mind, I bet the Bournemouth fans were really upset by that
It's part of the joke with that particular song that the town is either: a) not a real place b) not that close c) not bigger than the other place.
We've sung small town in Villa before - I forget where though.

I like Shoreham, nice pubs, a lovely pint of Timothy Taylor, quite friendly and cosy backstreets.
Eh? What point are you making here?
Well it beats drinking in Sompting
do you have any pubs left?I bet you don't go in that big one in the village.

Yes I know how it works, it just sort of doesn't work sometimes.
When we played at Peterbourgh in 2000, 2001?? A small mob of their fans were near the front of the stand to our left, they were keeping an eye on us but trying to keep a low profile, until we sang ( including me
) Small town near Cambridge, this little mob were up out of their seats going absolutely spare
This was when the song did work.
But I was using an example as someone said We were singing " small town in Boscombe " which is where Bournemouth play.
They also used to be called Bournemouth & Boscombe FC, so again why is that song going to wind up the Bournemouth fans?
That's the only point I'm making.

Yep, i admit Shoreham is better than Sompting. I do pop in the big one in the village but usually go to Worthing.
Surely both are better than Newhaven, i thought it shut at 6pm.....

My mum lives in Sompting and believe me I would rather live and drink in Newhaven.
Hopefully you live North of the A27 as where my mum lives its full of old people, and there's a fairly big council estate round the corner.

If you'd read my post i said Shoreham and Worthing surely both are better than Newhaven, and they are.
What is this some sort of cryptic quiz?
You mentioned three places, how am I supposed to know which two you meant?
