Singing today

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned...the atmosphere today was dreadful. No singing at all. An away game a long way north and it was painful. Barely anyone singing. The away end was quieter than E block on a bad day. I do appreciate that there was some singing from the left side. I did my best too! But generally it was terrible. What is going on? I think as a fan base we let ourselves down massively today!

"shocking fans" according to one fan on their messageboard. We took less than the police predicted too.

It wasn't necessarily the numbers that was bad. Just the will to sing. We were so quiet!

Atmosphere today was awful.

There were quite a few oldies today , I thought that a lot of the singing regulars at away games weren't there which meant it was shit.

What a bizzare feeling it was too! There was no urgency from the fans or the players. Never experienced anything like it.

It's always down to the fans who are there to create the atmosphere at away games. Maybe some are too scared to? But moan about it on here? Just a thought... And I dont mean u RCN as u said you were trying to get it going...

We have a great rep as away fans and need to keep it up...!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was terrible. It was frustrating because I love a sing song. But hardly anyone sang today! WHY?!!! We gave such a poor account of ourselves. Almost like it was ok to lose 1-0. We have a lot of good fans who are willing to travel. However, we just don't sing anymore.

I get what you're saying. Believe me, I did my best but no one was up for it. You're right, we have a great rep. Which makes it even more frustrating because we can do so much better!

Being in the lower tier didnt help. In terms of the atmosphere it was like being at Withdean.

Perhaps it's down to the players to put in a decent performance to get the fans going as well?

A poor excuse. Being in the lower tier makes no difference what so ever. However, I agree - it was like withdean. But quieter at times.

Rubbish. Brighton fans have a reputation of getting behind the team no matter what. To suggest that makes me feel like a man utd fan.

It does in terms of the acoustics, because if you were higher up in the stand more of the sound would get reflected back off the roof.

But I'm too tired to moan about the atmosphere or anything else to be honest.

How about we open our mouths and sing? That would make an even bigger difference!!!!!

Weird atmosphere today. Really strange for an away game. Wednesday were quality though.

Bollocks it doesn't. It was really narrow so we were spread out over a long line and singing all together wouldve been impossible.
