The best atmosphere EVER at the Amex

Tony Bloom made a call to arms, and oh boy, the troops reacted.

That was, without a doubt, the most electrifying, deafening atmosphere I have ever experienced at the Amex, maybe ever at an Albion game. The flags were a triumph, that just looked fantastic. But the NOISE level was something else. I can't remember ever hearing the team roared on for so long, in such a prolonged display of passion and desire. That goal was just about inevitable, the team just seemed to be swept along on a tidal wave of emotion and sheer force of will from the stands. I'll never forget that atmosphere as long as I live.

Quite how Wednesday survived that onslaught I don't think I will never know. We should have been comfortably home and hosed after half an hour, but a combination of blind luck, great keeping and wasteful finishing left us vulnerable to the sucker punch, which duly arrived with that fluked goal that we never retrieved.

I'm gutted beyond belief tonight, but my small consolation is that we as fans did everything possible tonight and made that stadium into a seething caldron that, on most nights, would have got us over the line. EVERYTHING went Wednesdays way over those two ties, our team could not have done any more. But what a night.

What a night.

Would it be financially viable to supply flags every game? Surely they can't cost that much if bought in bulk

There is no way on God's earth that a team could regularly reproduce that intensity over the first 20-25 minutes. That was something special. In over 50 years of support, I struggle to remember anything as full on as that. Maybe, the early stages v Derby ( LC at the Goldstone ) with 34,000 going mental as Wardy scored in the first minute and possibly those sensational 28 minutes v Walsall ( 0-0 to 7-0 ) The first half v Charlton 1983, when Casey ran riot and we were 5-0 up at HT. But on reflection, even these three trail behind last night for sheer passion and will-to-win. Driven on by a fanatical crowd, we blitzed them. We tore them to shreds but like a boxer raining in punches on an opponent, hanging on for dear life, we couldn't apply the knockout blow.

We need to bounce this thread before the first home game next season. Lots of fans have realised that if we all sing/shout together, the whole match experience is so much better. Let's not forget that.

Personally, my voice was shot by halftime.

Trying to be as unbiased as possible ... How do u guys rate our atmosphere on monday compared the the game at riverside and hillsboro?

For me the riverside was immense and ear piercing and constant. Hillsboro was a wall of noise, bouncing and drumming. The amex was loud and proud. All 3 were fantastic. I think the riverside topped the lot for me...... But then again it would be easier to compare had we been in the away end Monday to gauge home noise

Totally agree. Virgo nailed it at half time when he said maybe the atmosphere needs to be like that more often.

Great noise all throughout the game.
