Why I Don’t Sing at the Amex?

[Seagull on the wing]

- Because singing makes no discernible difference to the outcome of a match.
- Because it's best to give the players some peace and quiet to help them concentrate on the matter in hand
- Because many of our songs are anti-Palace rather pro-Albion.
- Because 'go left' is an uninspiring dirge of a song
- Because I'm not very good at singing.
- Because I didn't pay this money to join a choir.
- Because I paid to get in - that's me showing support, rather than letting people know which stand I'm sitting in
- Because I am not drinking alcohol while watching the match
- Because I'm busy watching the match.

Oh, and...
- Because Brighton play an uninspiring, patient game that doesn't inspire often a rush of adrenalin that is conducive to singing

Apart from not drinking alcohol....which I do before and at half time...through the match that is pretty well what I think as well

I have an embarrassing squeaky voice that makes me sound like a child

I was once told by a steward to "Keep it down" and "Have some respect for those around me" after launching in to a song started by a group behind me in WSU.

Sort of dampened my enthusiasm to sing really.

because I choose not to.

95% of the stadium is sitting for 90% of the game. It's almost impossible to sing and sit without looking like a prat. People sing after goals because they're excited, but also because they're standing and feel they can 'let go' a bit more. Also at away games, we stand for the whole match and our vocal support at away games is quite decent (plus everyone has had a beer or two).
