[Albion] Support Yesterday

[One Teddy Maybank]

But still no "I'm a Baleba" song.

Surely this could have been sorted out in the pre-match pub.

No, but there is a Baleba chant which is something

My first away day for quite a while, due to family circumstances.

Loved it, said to my son we really have to try harder to go away more.

It doesn’t help that I have to work on a Saturday, another reason I can’t wait to retire.

 

[Albion my Albion]

we really have to try harder to go away more.

is that what your wife said?

Absolutely brilliant day out. Best awayday for a good while.

Atmosphere was brilliant, helped by us being good and them being shit, but also helped by many getting together for a vocal warm up in Yates’s.

I’m not often a fan of the “designated away pub” (the one in Wolverhampton is DREADFUL) but it seemed to help yesterday.

Moving the away end was also a decent result. I’m sure they wanted away fans away from cameras and their singers but safe standing helped the atmosphere, good size concourse with fast moving queue and the ability to go out for a smoke / vape. I’m really going to miss it as an away day next season. I’m not sure that was the effect they wanted when they moved it. Even managed a pre match chat with the legendary @Lenny Rider

Too be replaced by the looks of it dirty Leeds, Sheffield Utd and Burnley, three great away days

I agree wholeheartedly. Everyone giving the free Palestine march a bit of stick through the windows was jokes. Classic fickle fan behaviour, but funny nevertheless.

Or possibly Sunderland or Middlesbrough

Great away day. A bit tiring given that the train experience was far from comfortable. Belgium and Blues pre match was just bloody brilliant. The new away end was really good I thought, very good facilities. Great atmosphere from the travelling support as the team strolled to victory. A thoroughly enjoyable day out.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Best singing for a while. And yet someone on the marchday thread thought we were quiet in the first half.

 

[Happy Exile]

I’d like to give a special mention to the woman who was security / steward for the section I was in. Joking with us throughout, offering our fans a helping hand up the steps when they needed it and for comedy when they didn’t, dancing along to herself at our songs and laughing her head off at the loud and lengthy “you’re ****ing ****”.

After, outside the ground where they were all lined up she wished us all a safe journey home too. It makes such a difference when the staff at an away ground are friendly and relaxed.

……..and even a chant for Fab at the end. First time I’ve heard one

Not sure how a pub in Wolverhampton helped yesterday however yes, the songs were generally great yesterday however I abstained from “you’ve seen the Albion” and the pitiful “football in a library” on 14 minutes. However I’m not the song police so if you want to sing it, knock yerselves out.

Football in a library, is a mandatory chant for all premier league away fans at every game.
Often chanted, without irony ,by fans that we can barely hear throughout a game.

 

[A1X]

No, but there is a Baleba chant which is something

Is it to the tune of “Tequila”?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Is it to the tune of “Tequila”?

No.

To the tune of ‘We are the champions’ not the Queen one, but the TV show from the 70s/80s…..

Carlos Baleba
Clap,clap,clap,clap, clap.
And repeat…..

Sorry as you can tell I’m crap at describing this chant…..

Someone else help

That's spot on.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Sheffield away is quite good with some decent pubs in easy walking distance. Leeds nothing near the ground, Burnley a bit better but longer more awkward trip.

My best ‘away’ day for as long as I can remember! From start to finish, just brilliant! Yates was great, really enjoyed the atmosphere there.

Seriously paying for it today - had to let my assistant take over coaching duties for my under 9 and under 11 games today!

I quite like it. It's kind of retro. Simple, old fashioned, but works. Not every song has to be a masterpiece (or, in our case, any of them).

For some reason @Lenny Rider asked me to write the foreword to his biography. Not entirely sure why!

Or possibly Sunderland or Middlesbrough

Boro actually isnt that bad now and even a couple stops on to Marske ,some good pubs
