Brilliant all singing all dancing fans

[NMH]

Well for all the anti-sentiments voiced on here, that lot were about the best supportive fanbase we have EVER seen at Withdean surely.

While the South Stand barely registered a squeek, they forgot they were there!

That's how to support your team.

They were amazing. So much bollocks on here recently about them, they are proper fans. The idea that you can't create an atmosphere at Withdean now looks pretty laughable!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Non stop singing from start to finish - even in The Sportsman beforehand. Best ever away fans at Withdean.

I would have been disappointed if their fans weren't singing non stop for 90 minutes for what was their cup final.

It's like that every week mate, it's what we do

How many cup finals have you seen that have had non-stop singing like that?

Even when we scored, they made more noise than us and carried on singing! I hope they really enjoyed their day out, they probably deserved their bit of luck in the end.

 

[Easy 10]

I've NEVER heard football fans singing The Carpenters.

Good work.

It was great to watch. We were sat in the family stand at the other end and my 4 year old son said "I want to be in that end Dad", I must admit, it looked a lot of fun! I thought you played very well today, very organised that belies your league position, and you probably deserved the penalty save at the end.

Fantastic support, non stop singing - they were awesome.
Not one jibe to us either.
A true credit to their club & they fully deserved their result against us.
True fans.

Their keeper was class. Apparently he had a trial with Bolton. If he plays like that regularly, FCUM will not keep hold of him. Couple of other cracking saves apart from the penalty and he caught nearly everything we threw into the box. FCUM fans brilliant too. Hope they enjoyed their day out.

I'm contantly amazed that people still equate away support with home support.


They were very good though. Not just the noise either, all the scarves and flags, looks great too.

Cup semi-final.

credit them for non stop noise but i couldn't ever work out what they were actually singing. they suffered from the same problem we do: no roof means singing is disjointed and out of sync. for non stop noise i'd give them top marks though.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

They were useless.

Where was the homophobia? We pay our money and we are ENTITLED to be abused by ignorant northerners.

And they were no way SCARY enough to justify the category C label. The pitch invasion was PATHETIC.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I'm contantly amazed that people still equate away support with home support.

Has anyone done that? I'm comparing to every other set of fans that have occupied the away end at the Withdean. Brighton has fantastic away support, it's no reflection on that, but you have to acknowledge that was a special set of supporters today, that was a 90min party and I don't think the result would have changed that.

 

[KNC]

Some great inventive songs too. Our 'singing section' could learn something from that.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I did chuckle on the way past the away car park and one of their coaches having 'Wembley' on the digital display.

An excellent bunch. 'Cup final' or not, they were brilliant from start to finish. Totally eclipsed all previous visitors.

If you bring him up for the replay (probably not for a night match) he can come in our end with us and enjoy the experience, three generations of my family go every week

We're not too worried about the league position, we have games in hand over most of the others, six or seven over some, time for all that after the cup run.............

 

[Silent Bob]

Yep:

You see comments like this in relation to the home support any time there's a half decent away support at Withdean.
