[Albion] Outbreak of laryngitis in the north stand?

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

You get the ‘end’, the cheap tickets, the chance to call yourselves things like “NSK”, more bars and the legacy of the Goldstone north. You lead, we follow. That’s the deal.

And where do you sit?

Who leads the singing in the North Stand? I seem to recall a guy who was known as The Judge, but can't remember seeing his name mentioned recently.

He hasn’t been to a game for ages as far as I know. We miss him - vocal chords of tungsten !

As John Lennon once said: "The people in the cheaper seats, clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you’d just rattle your jewelry."

Did he say that from his luxury apartment overlooking Central Park ?

Someone in the west upper did their best to get a west/north stand boys chant going, but didn't get enough support from the west upper, not enough of a response from the north stand.

Yep near me. Quite a number of us joined in but to no avail, the silence from the north was deafening.

The two different groups singing separate chants at the same time is an utter joke and always has been. The way that basically every stadium in the world works is that there is a singing section that starts chants and other stands join in. Essentially a conductor and an orchestra. The North fundamentally fails to do it's job most matches. There is a section of fans in there that have a superiority complex and don't seem to give a shit if the atmosphere is rubbish. They just want to feel like the best fans in the stadium.

The North doesn’t have job to do.

I‘ll say it again. You want singing then, sing. Stop expecting others to support the team for you.

Doubt it. He said it in 1963

Why is the North stand the only stand where mass standing is permitted? If you don't have a job to do then sit down like everyone else.

 

[Guinness Boy]

What a pathetic post. You want singing, then sing yourself and don’t expect others to do it for you.

It’s really not. RDZ called for extra effort and our end and our ultras delivered a library

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Always the north stands fault, didn’t hear too much from anywhere else in the stadium either to be fair !

Are the other areas recognised as singing sections now then?

Normally the north leads and others follow.

It doesn’t help that there are two sections within the north singing different songs….

We’ve got ultras

And pay what we pay

The “NSK”. *taps nose*

 

[Guinness Boy]

And where do you sit?

WSU. No team ever in the history of football has had the singing led from the top tier of the main stand.

Historically, the north lead, whether it’s the Goldstone or The Amex.

The West started a song today, so things must have been getting desperate

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

As someone still 3 quarters cut, proper pissed up from four days on the sauce proudly sporting my Ajax cap singing nonsensical songs like “ Amschhhdam (sch)-ooligans” I was made to feel as welcome as a fart in a space suit in the east lower.
Anyhoo I had my fun.

The North was singing, but the OP didn’t think it was ‘good enough‘.
Tough.

Well, TBH it wasn’t at times IMO.

It kind of flitted in and out.

I know we’ve done it to death, but having two separate singing areas isn’t that helpful….

These threads are so tedious. The atmosphere is organic amd dependent on the flow of the game and we were expectant to win today. It happens,.especially after a big win in Europe and a Sunday to boot! FfS! Get a grip.
