Gilliver's Travels
Peripatetic
I shall stand up at Withdean tomorrow because:-
It looks dangerous and edgy and besides, all my mates do it
I enjoy that simultaneous seat-tipping noise - the menacing sound adds so much to our intimidating Withdean atmosphere
It guarantees that only us true fans will be able to see what's really going on - or, preferably, off - down there on the pitch
I like irritating those sad old bastards behind me who always moan "Sit down!". Don't they realise that if everybody kept sitting down you'd still be able to see everything - and where's the fun in that?
It's the only way Leon Knight can score (Okay, so it hasn't worked yet, but only because not everyone stood up last time he got the ball in the opposition half)
Everybody knows it's the only way to absolutely guarantee we'll get Falmer. No watching Prescott lackey could fail to be moved by such a demonstration of unstoppable fan power. "Seeing all those Brighton fans standing up - and in Withdean of all places - has certainly changed my mind!"
It marks out anyone left sitting for the pathetic, Albion-hating nimby they obviously are.
Sitting down? FFS! Wheelchairs are just about okay, I suppose, but who else needs to sit? We've still got years to change those human rights-infringing regulations. Let's make Falmer a 30,000 all-stander stadium!!
