And when they are just 2,553 out of 30,750, they'll be drowned out even more.

Have not read all the thread entries here but just a few observations re crowd noise /songs , Amex is louder than Stamford Bridge prawn sandwich tourists x 41000.....I am sick of stand up if you hate Palace , it is a waste of good singing voice.......the heartbeat Will Buckley song does not work as everyones timing is all over the show.....the north stand v west v east is top notch for getting everyone uo for it and it definately sounds good from the south stand.......we need more away banners like Ipswich, what an own goal that was!!!

I'm virtually slap bang in the middle of the North, and I agree the East Stand do normally get involved more. As others have said though, it's a thing to behold when the West do get going.

When I saw the banner yesterday, I just knew the atmosphere would be great!
We need to slow down on the artificial pre match hype, and stop applauding the away fans for coming. Let's get it back to the good old hostile banter (without the violence). That will crank up the noise!

I'm in the WSL Block A just around from the away fans - and as a few have observed it does get a bit lively there, with a lot of banter with the away fans. The ground has fascinating acoustics with a huge noise generated but often difficult to hear other parts of the ground. Burnley was the best atmosphere by far, but I have to take my hat off to the the Leeds fans, they were immense in the noise they created in the first half - and in the second half of that game my 6 year old said to me "Daddy, are our fans singing '2-0 and you f***ed it up'?", at which point we had the conversation about what does not get repeated when you get home.
Maybe I was too pissed but I could have sworn we boo'd the away attendance this time?

We definitely did, it went something like this:
"...with two thousand four hu-" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
The east cant hear the west. The north cant hear the east. The east.......................
At the end of the day none of that matters because I`ll tell you WHO can hear us....... the players and that is what counts. They comment on it enough times so just keep doing what we`re doing.

This. Everyone says "done to death" but I can't believe the penny hasn't dropped with some about how amazing the OVERALL volume of NOISE is inside The Amex. The complete opposite of the modern stadium "library" that is common elsewhere.
At most grounds you can easily hear it when 50-100 away fans start singing - and if 500 join in then it dominates the ground and sounds "loud". At The Amex we have people saying they "can't hear the West Stand" when there are upwards of 5,000 people belting out an Albion standard at a volume that is often incredible...!!
Also I love the line about the "Mummy lion"...
... 2,400 away fans at full throttle and the home "main stand" (NB not the home "end"...) puts them easily back in their place time after time... Love it...!!!
Gai Asulin's comments on Twitter about it carry a lot of meaning. He is not here long term and hasn't made any real comments about the club or fans before, but for him to come out with "Brighton fans you are unbelievable!" after the game speaks volumes (excuse the 'pun')
They won't be. When the overall capacity goes up, so will their allocation.

Maths tutor? No. They get 1,000 extra we get 4,000.
I don't understand.... surely we get something nearer 7500 and they get about 500 (if the aim is to give them 10% - but I am not even sure we HAVE to do that) ??

One thing i love about the Amex is the noise everyone makes, there are a lot bigger grounds that arent even half as rowdy as the Amex. SEAGULLS!
Exactly. The players hear it, some of them are inspired by it, so that's all that matters. Literally the only part of the ground that is quiet more often than not is the south end of the East Stand. Everywhere else the atmosphere varies from "a bit muted" to "absolutely rocking", and they all have their moments.
And on this subject, only this morning I remembered Palace's support singing "your support is f***ing shit" just after they had gone ahead at the Amex; then recalled the game at their ground, and had a chuckle at the FRONT the Nigels obviously had to sing that with a straight face. The atmosphere is always about 100 times better than it ever is at their wank, half empty ground.
