I've heard that if you get a thick piece of rectangular card, fold it in a concertina fashion and hold one end and shake apparently it makes a fantastic wall of noise.
Maybe we could issue blue and white ones and we could all shake them at the same time?

Great idea, as it is painfully clear that at the moment the players do not like playing at the Amex. It's time for us to step up to the mark!!

Well, I'm in. Even a #thinstripofnoise is preferable to the stony silence and moody muttering which seems to descend at home if we're not 2-0 up in 20 minutes.

Perhaps i could set [MENTION=29192]Brighton Lines[/MENTION] a challenge. If you can get Fred, Bertie and Algernon joining in I'll get them a bottle of Sanatogen
Thank you for your splendid suggestion. A meeting is to be held after Bernard's war-time singalong on Friday night to finalise the plans.
I can tell you that we will be holding a show of solidarity with the team in a parade of mobility scooters down the Falmer Road before the match. There have been a few issues with parking spaces, but we think Mr Barber will agree for the greater good.
Len is bringing a horn from his old Panhard Dyna, and Les, his Goldstone rattle. Ron is still nervous of Brenda after falling on to her lap after starting the mexican wave. She took it as a sign of interest, but being only 62, twenty years his junior, he's worried what his family might think. She is a bit of a catch though.
Brenda does have to be a little restrained alas, she has been told to wear stockings to matches. This is because she is a fan of Inigo, and if he scores we are a bit worried that she may try and throw her knickers at him. At least if she is wearing stockings we will have time to inform a steward that her celebrations are in process.
Fred has said that shouting loud for long periods is a problem, but his involuntary flatulence every time he stands up will be utilised as much as possible. Cyril will bring a hailer and sit behind him in the hope of catching the reverberations at an opportune moment.
Algernon, as ever, will be sleeping throughout the process, with the occasional movement of the lips when the smell of ropey ale fills the air as a parched supporter moves past him to their seat.

Interesting observation, how do you arrive at that conclusion?

yawn yawn, the blue and white army song is sung at every game in the NW corner...
Marvelous scenes.

It was brilliant last night. I actually think it may have gone on for over 15 minutes. If half the Amex sung and half of them clapped it would be very, very loud!

I'm in. The TBBAWA chant was one of, if not the, highlight of last night's game. It is DEAD easy to join in, and clapping along is fine if you do not want to sing. I think it would lift players or a t the very least surprise them! let's do it.
Glad you are being so inclusive. We sang this very song for ten minutes on Saturday. I am not sure why so many people think the NW Corner only sing European songs and Go Left, it just is not true.
If you want a united crowd and a better atmosphere do you really think that making snide comments about a group of supporters is the way to go?
I would just LOVE to be proved wrong. We will see on Saturday.

I'm not sure the manager pays particular attention to specific lyrics (well, not unless 20,000 people are calling for him to be fired).
I imagine he'd be quite simply delighted to hear large sections of the crowd getting behind the team and driving them on, however they chose to do it.

I can confirm this from my seat in the northern end of WSL. It was uninterrupted for more like 15 mins towards the end of the first half, when the team were playing particularly crap.

This is going to be EPIC. The first ten minutes on Saturday are going to be wall to wall Albion classics that aim to get as many people as possible joining in and then this is going to be followed, when the stadium clock strikes 3.10, by an unrelenting chant of TBBAWA that will be so persistent it can't help but be taken up by the whole stadium.We certainly will
