[Albion] That poxy pre match stuff

[Herr Tubthumper]

I think we should have cheerleaders.

1990s tacky displays by dancing girls seems to still work for that lot up the road.

Bring back Billi

 

[Dave the OAP]

Hilariously it only lasted about a second and a half

Brentford fans on the bus going home reckoned that was the best bit about the night.

we were discussing VAR and although we were the beneficiaries of an incredibly shithouse decision, when they put up the lines with picture on the screens, not one person near us said “ yep deffo offside”. Seems like VAR helped against stains too, so well played VAR

I was bored shitless yesterday and wondered why I battered back from Salisbury yesterday afternoon to watch that. Someone on here suggested we are improving! REALLY??

roll on Villa and Arsenal…easy 6 points!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It's for children. They like it.

If it bothers you that much, stay in the concourse and have another pint.

Look.

You don't understand what being a proper supporter is all about.

You arrive 2 minutes before KO with 5 or 6 pints inside you as SBTS is being played.
You say 'awright' to several faces
You shove your way into the centre of where you want to be.
You start a few songs. Ygnnagetyerfukineds kicked in. And so on
Then, five minutes into the game you barge your way out to take a piss.
Rinse and repeat.

None of that namby-pamby bollocks:
Not overdoing the pre-match sauce
Arriving with 10 minutes to spare
Shaking hands with people you know
Having a quick chat
Getting comfy in your seat.
Watching the fireworks and that
Nodding with satisfaction at how this loveliness was unthinkable for decades
And wondering how some others see everything so completely differently.

 

[SittingbourneSeagull]

You know, where they do the cameras across fans and get them to wave with the music on. Used to be called fanzone. Not sure if it still is, didn’t hear the announcement today as I was chatting.

Whatever it’s called, bin it off. Tacky as f***.

100% and can we GOSBTS back to when the players come out. We are not American stop ruining our match experience.

Not forgetting then complaining about the lack of atmosphere

 

[Van Cleef]

As the flames shot skyward I could feel the warmth on my face in N1D. I had a good couple of minutes to myself mulling over the wonders of physics. Then I thought about how many Eaststanders may have ended up with singed moustaches. Then the game started.

Be grateful you're not a Hammer. That bubble machine and their godawful Cockney theme tune. Add in Biffo the clown and you've got a kids birthday party.

At our away there last week for some reason they had a Peppa Pig mascot too. Not sure why

The lines showed a leg from the knee down plus a whole foot ahead of our defender. It wasn't even close. In fact I was so sure it was offside from real time that I was already telling the lino who was stood in front of me shaking his head at our defenders appealing for the decision, that he was going to be made to look an idiot when it was given offside. And he was.

Wondered the same last week and a quick Google produced this

West HAM fans snorting with laughter as Premier League club releases PEPPA PIG range - What's The Jam

West Ham fans are laughing after the club released a Peppa Pig merchandise range, featuring scarves, hats, and gloves in claret and pink, leaving some supporters surprised.

The ‘light show’ at evening matches at The Goldstone was when they left the lights on in the West stand roof girders for the first five minutes after kick off.

As a nipper on the East terrace, I was mesmerised - watching the bobbing orange glow from cigar tips, followed by plumes of blue smoke drifting in the wind across silhouetted heads.

Simpler times

I must have stood next to you.
Imagine, no big screen TV with a clock and no indication of added time. But right on time the West lights would come ON with minutes to go.

Hillarious quote of the year, as Peppa Pig walked by the away fans I heard someone say-
"I'm not sure we should be eating these (hot dogs) in front of Peppa"

If you were bored with that entertaining game, I would suggest that on 4 January you do your shopping in Sainsburys from 5.30, that will solve your problem. Just remember to list your ticket, to avoid the club letter telling you what a bad fan you are.

Always give my ticket to Albion + member thanks. My seat is never not used.( double negative I know)

haven't had the letter yet

 

[southstandandy]

Wait until you go to Norwich for the FA Cup tie. Goal Music still played by that tin pot club.

 

[Pliny the Gull]

I'll add to your memory...
The smell of the matchday programs and listening to the match reports on someone's tranny radio, on way back home by train

Picking up the pink Argus late addition results paper at Brighton station.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I quite like it

And he was.

Yes, my neighbour called it offside immediately, to which I said, Are you sure? He pointed out the ref not moving back to the centre but listening intently.
He was right.

Which the Albion fans won’t hear in a 0-3 win?
