Yawn.
Says the Palace fan hanging around an Albion messageboard at 1:32am
Yawn.
Those are better - why was only one section singing though? The fans to their left, right next to them, just refused to join in.Video from 2007.
Do you want this one from last season?
Or this one from a Tuesday Night pissing with rain?
You wish.Bring on 31st January.
27th September will be no comparison, 5000 Brighton fans, 14000 Man U/Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool fans and 2500 Palace.
I sat in the West Upper last week, it was fantastic. Not that steep at all, but steep enough to give a clear view of the whole pitch, it couldn't have been better. If you get yourselves a new ground, that's what you'll be hoping for.Enjoy sitting down in your steep stand.
Was it not one of the Milan clubs that sung it originally?
Are you thick?
All football songs originate from Selhurst-apparently The Dave Clark Five heard Glad All Over there and decided to record it and release it as a single.
I don't think it is fair for some of us Palace fans to criticise you for not having an original chant as very very few chants are actually original. I think the reason we find this amusing is because a lot of your fans on both here and the Palace message boards have made digs at our 'Ultras' and 'AWM' fan groups citing them as spotty teenagers and pikeys who didn't exactly generate an intimidating atmosphere, yet have thought it a good idea to plagiarise the songs that have (partially) come to define them now that you have your new stadium (half full of plastics) in a bid generate some 'atmosphere'. It seems (yet again) you are daring your inspiration from your bigger rival up the road
Whilst the roots of many of these songs (7 Nation Army tune) and 'We Love You' song can be traced back to original sources overseas, it is a widely held view that we were one of the first (if not the first) to work it into our own words and style - which a fair few fan groups have said they started singing having heard them at Palace.
Given that you guys have not been playing at our level for a good few years now, I see why you think that the Palace atmosphere is 'not all that' but in the time since you last were at Selhurst (many of you) the Ultras really have cranked up the atmosphere at Palace and swathes of fans from other clubs on their own forums and ours have praised us for an excellent vocal and visual display at Selhurst (and at their grounds).
It will be eye-opening for many of you on both 27th Sept and 31st Jan, but here is a little taster for you all:
