Stoke is the loudest home support I've heard, though mostly them singing that song over and over again.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Will T-Bloom now make changes to the Amex for next season?

Turn the pre-kick off music UP but change it to create maximum intimidation.

Can't see anything being changed now as everyone has already renewed their season tickets. Any plans to move the away area would need to be announced before ST renewals start.
Having the away fans in corner meant they were very close the family stand and also left big sections of empty seating behind the goal as most away clubs didn't sell out their allocation, which looked bad on TV.
I really think we need to try doing this again instead kowtowing to a few mealy-mouthed whingers - "the nasty northern man said a rude word". They should by offered the chance to relocate elsewhere (at family stand rates) or they can f*cking lump it.
I'd also make the South Stand the main singing stand - get the two North Stand groups to relocate there and stick them next to each other. Get the other North Stand singers to go with them - leave the cheap ticket brigade where they are. Implement [MENTION=12634]Return of the Rev[/MENTION] 's idea for cheap tkts U21 supporters to fill either the gaps in the North Stand or the rest of the South Stand with positive age discrimination policy. To encourage this there would be a clamp down on standing in the North Stand and we would attack the South goal in the 2nd half.

I've been at the Riverside when the traffic outside on a very distant road is louder than the Boro support.
Simply, we have to step up on Monday evening, and it will help if the team plays well. It would be nice to suggest that a sell-out crowd will lift the team with its fantastic support, but a lifetime of supporting the Albion makes me think otherwise.
It's a sad fact that the larger the crowd at the Albion - and this was true at the Goldstone too - the more people in it are just waiting to bring out the 'same old rubbish' moans. We had fantastic, noisy crowds when we were smashing our way through the third and second divisions under Alan Mullery and then when we got to the top flight and it wasn't quite so easy, the moans started and the crowds started to fall.
Give people a bandwagon like the 1983 FA Cup run to jump on and everything will be great, but the league attendances that season were terrible. Loads of people complained that they couldn't get tickets for the final even though they were lifelong fans, but only around 14,000 of those 'lifelong fans' could be bothered to attend the league match against Stoke when Cup Final ticket vouchers were given away - the match after our win at Anfield.
You'd think the opportunity for promotion to the Premier League would get everyone going, and I hope I'm proved wrong on Saturday, but I think it's the crowd not the stadium.

Ohhh [MENTION=15922]Working class pride[/MENTION] is going to kick your @rse. Or rather give you the same tiresome lecture about Lancing and Hastings he posts on every thread and show you a picture of the ham, egg and chips he had for his tea.

It'll be interesting to revisit this thread after next Monday. The noise at Boro was impressive. If we can replicate the noise created at say the Doncaster game then this thread is redundant. Boro turned it on for their big game. No reason to think we can't do the same.

Ask the barmy army trumpeter to make guest appearance and the bloke with the high voice.
Monday should be declared a public holiday in Sussex so everyone can get tanked up before the game.
