Can people stop singing this.

It's a rubbish chant and frankly, embarrassing, especially when we're playing away in a fully packed stadium - like we were yesterday.

Same goes for the risible " We pay your benefits" "song" which seems to be sung at any club north of Watford.
It wasn't funny in the 1980's. It's utterly pathetic now.

You've been reading this thread haven't you? Watching you, watching us, watching you.

Stood pretty close to the Brighton fans and there was a little bit that crossed a line, but needless to say the Brighton fans, like the stereotypical denizen of their fair town, didn't seem able to take a joke and seemed to be out looking for something to get offended by.

It went a bit like this -

Brighton go 2-0 down, start singing "Leicester's a sh1thole, I wanna go home"
Leicester start singing "you've had your day out, now fvck off home"
Brighton start singing "where were you when you were sh1t?"
We respond, as usual, with "beating you when we were sh1t".
Brighton don't like this and a couple of their fans closer to the cordon try to jump the barrier, and one fat bloke is escorted out by men in Uniform.
This acts as the catalyst for a few flippant comments about him "liking men in uniform", which the Brighton fans overhear.
A small section of our fans sing the usual "we can see you holding hands" - D-, must try harder. :dry:
The Brighton fans respond with "you're too ugly to be gay". I confess I found this quite funny.
L1 jokingly make a few complaints to the police in earshot of the Brighton fans about them being "uglyphobic" and start some (admittedly crap) songs along those lines. This was also quite funny and in any other circumstance that would be the end of it, but unfortunately we seemed to be stood next to 2500 people with a chip on each shoulder. :ph34r:
They can't take a joke and start singing "you're scum, and you know you are".
A sh1tshow descends with some Brighton fans, who look far more inbred than they do gay, trying to jump the police cordon.
A number of arrests are made - I saw 1 Leicester and 3 or 4 Brighton kicked out.
Everybody else laughs it off and gets on with the game.
I also saw what I assume is the world's softest firm trying to jump some home fans at the station soon after full time. Arrests were made, and they were all wearing blue and white stripes. We did let their fans bait the more knuckle-dragging elements of our fanbase into going for the low-hanging fruit, but they did themselves no favours. All in all, the Brighton fans just seemed like another bunch of southern melts looking for a fight to me, and went down in my expectations and opinion after what I saw yesterday.

Nothing we didn't see plenty of times in the title season. Remember West 'aaaam after THAT 2-2 draw? :ph34r:

Do we have a definitive list of everything NSC finds embarrassing?

- Arriving too early,
- Arriving too late,
- Singing chants,
- Not singing chants,
- Adults in replica kits,
- People who don't wear the stripes,
- GOSBTS words on screen,
- Pie queues,
- Stadium shop not returning items on match days,
- Stadium shop allowing returns on match days,
- Lists,

Got any more?

No. This is the first time I've seen it.

Can we stop singing "you're going home in a Sussex ambulance" Please:rolleyes:

How about, "You're going to wait 2 hrs for a South East Coast ambulance, although a single-crewed car may be dispatched to assess you and manage your condition as an interim measure."

Would you like us to be the only away crowd that doesn't sing it?

Someone nearly always starts it, and depending on how loud the home crowd has been defines how many people actually join in with it normally.

The home support yesterday was pretty bad (something we'll need to get used to in the PL it seems), which is why it was sung fairly loudly. I personally didn't but I have done in the past, one I remember in particular was the 'cauldron of noise' that is St.James park, where you could hear a pin drop from the other side of the ground through most of the game.

Must admit, I did cringe when we had the nerve to sing, "where were you when you were shit."

Always leave ourselves wide open, given some of the Withdean attendances........

Just saying.......

EDIT - The home support was appalling........very quiet.

They started it up, we continued and overpowered it. As a response it was fine.

I appreciate that anybody who wasn't close to the segregation might think that we started it.

Is it just me or is there no humour and imagination in football crowds anymore? This isn't specific to us, it's every team in every division.

Atmosphere is anything below a Boca Juniors home match during a heated derby - "Your support is ****ing shit."
Two people head for the exits before the 87th minute - "Is there a fire drill?"
My team is losing - "Town X is a shithole, I want to go home."
The away end is not packed out on a Tuesday night - "Is that all you take away?"
Any moment of incident on the pitch - "Who are you? Who are you?"
My team is playing a team that once wasn't as good as it is now - "Where were you where you were shit?"
There is another football team in the local area - "You're just a small town in X."

Brainless. Surely the combined intellect of thousands of people could do better?

I think the problem is that rather than combine the intellect of thousands of people it's the lowest common denominator that comes into play. Personally I prefer songs that are supporting the team rather than meant to wind up the opposition fans.
