Up the Albion!
Loved shouting 'we are Brighton' as loud as possible! was such an amazing atmosphere and game (team battled so hard). Was emotional cheering the team at the end and seeing their emotions and all the passion in the stadium. Always feel emotional at the end of a season but more so this time. Watched a bit of the game back this morning, sounded awesome! Have so enjoyed this season and so proud of the team! They have been amazing to watch, loved it! And love CH!

We need some new material for next season!

at least we don't have a ground 50% empty EVERY game, just because you actually showed up for once!

Amazing atmopshere. Can't help but feel that the fact it was all songs everybody knows and everybody can join in with as they are simple helped. More of that next season and it will be easier to create an atmosphere rather than the nonsense you normally get from under the police box

Don't wait for me!
That first half (bar "their" goal) was the best footballing experience I've ever had.
Gave them a Fright: did not take it to the Wire
PS: The only time I rmember it as good was in 1971-72 against Rotherham in a Division 3 game. We won 2-1 and took the game past the wire. Crowd numbers were about the same.
From that day I have always reckoned get the crowd above 26K and there is almost always an extra buzz. Not always though. At the Goldstone, it sometimes got too crowded for comfort and became subdues.
PS2: I thought Sheff Wed were a better team than Burnley. Not quite so sure if they were better than Hull?

I watched it on Sky and have never seen or heard anything like that first half as a Brighton fan. It felt like watching a World Cup knockout game for the intensity and the noise.
The most telling thing was that Wurzel was absolutely blown away at half time. I lost count of the number of times he said "brilliant", he was totally losing it about how good we'd been and the atmosphere (and he rightly said that their goal should never have stood). We never get much change out of him (apart from "Chrissy Hughton's such a great bloke etc") so it said a lot.
Well done to everyone who went.

The question now is how can we make an atmosphere like that the rule rather than the exception?
Don't think it will be possible to hit those levels every game (it was outstanding noise and performance levels) - But now the East and West Stands have a taste for singing and standing, we will hopefully see a lot more of it.
Even 60% of last night's noise will be awesome

C'mon the Albion!
Having started to come down off the "high" of that atmosphere last night, that noise was incredible!
I've not been to a Brighton game, where we had so many chances in the first 45 minutes, and some seasons in the deep distant past, where we played probably 5 games to have the same amount of chances
Also, I don't think I've been in a Brighton crowd that made that sort of "wall-of-sound" for that length of time during a game!
(Have not been to every Brighton game b.t.w.)
For the that first half, I think the Wednesday players were in shock! Loved the hostility every time the Wednesday goalkeeper had the ball!
We normally politely applaud teams don't we?
Players mark for the game - all 10 for the effort for trying to pull the game round.
Crowd 12 out of 10......Fecking awesome atmosphere, hope we can carry that forward for next season. UTA!!

Everybody there last night, players and supporters know we all did everything we could.
That's a far better feeling than the last two play offs.

This, felt great to be a part of something like that. As strange as it may sound, it was a great and enjoyable evening at the Amex.

This. The result came weirdly second to the communal spirit and the pride, passion and dignity shown both on the pitch and off.

Agree, despite the result I came away glowing with pride
