The North Stand tonight

[Bozza]

Interested to hear about how many were thrown out for standing etc...

 

[Surf's Up]

Also interested to hear how many were grassed up by their neighbors for anti-social behaviour!

 

[Max Paper]

Didn't see this but I was too busy standing up

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Heard the feeble strains of "Stand Up For The Albion" but thought it was the East Stand being picked up by the BBC pitchside mics.

Wondered why they were quiet tonight, guess all the noisy ones were ejected.

 

[Beach Hut]

I am sure I saw someone ejected from the South Stand tonight........

 

[Hyperion]

Well, that will improve the Atmosphere and encourage more singing then. Still, 50p off a Bovril

A couple by us. Harry potter asked us to sit down and I suggested that as we are 7 rows from the back we were ok...he agreed and apologised.

Was good to see old Harry back from the Withdean days! We sit fourth from back and are repeatedly asked to sit down despite those rows being allowed to stand, as was stated when buying a season ticket there. Im quite happy to sit to be honest, just seems the stewards are either too scared to say anything or dont actually understand the rules in the first place.

we were standing for the first penalty in east upper last friday..steward tried to get people to no avail...told him to go and sit down himself..all was quite jovial

Well I enjoyed the atmosphere in the North tonight. Thought it was pretty good considering the team weren't on song.

There was and the guy was only putting his feet up on the seat, ended up with 4 stewards wading in and taking him out. Pathetic in my opinion! The stewards seemed on a real power trip tonight and will end up killing the little atmosphere we do have.

 

[Gazwag]

A steward told me they had been told to make people sit tonight, she had been moved from elsewhere for that purpose. Apparantly we were all being watched and if we didn't sit down we would be ejected.

They did however seem happy for us all to sit on the seats in the upright position.

Agreed. They tried their best despite the garbage on the pitch and the lack of much singing from any other stand.

 

[Fat Langers]

We had a gent moved from the ESU. Believe it was due to him bringing in his own alcohol and drinking it in view of the pitch. His mate also had to leave.....after they finally managed to wake him as he slept through the first half

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Stand up if you love brighton
stand up if you love brighton
stand up if you love brighton

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Well done North Stand. It was a strangely mainly flat atmosphere tonight - but it was a sterling effort by you chaps and chapesses.

I didn't think the atmosphere was even close to the best it's ever been, however, I thought there was a tremendous effort to create one, and had the match been better perhaps that effort would have been fruitful. The attempts to create an atmosphere were way above what was deserved for the football on offer, especially in the first half.

Suffering with sore throat and general croakiness today, as I'm sure plenty others around us were, but it was worth it in the end. Enjoyed being told off for pronouncing Dobbie wrong in a chant
Can't remember celebrating a goal quite so deliriously for a while. Let's hope they get a bit more common, then creating an atmos won't be such hard work.

A couple of blokes in the NW lower got removed. They did not seem that bothered, i can only assume it was because one of them was wearing a dodgy pork pie/trilby hat.
