[Albion] N1B

[Salty_Seagull]

Following on from the thrilling N1F thread, after a few years in the West upper I've moved my ST into the North Stand in N1B (at the back) for next season. What am I in for? What characters are about?

Safe standing?

Currently in N1B moving to N1D next season.

It's decent enough. Row X upwards stand. That may change with safe standing being introduced. You'll hear the songs from NSK. Some good characters, some knobheads as well but that's life. Look out for the bloke who wears extravagant Albion gear to every match. The steward who comes up once or twice a half is fine, nor is he arsed about people bunching up on rows as long you're not blocking the gangway.

There's better places in the ground, but far worse as well.

I’ve moved here too. I’ve spent years whinging that the North is too quiet, so time to scream my head off.

I’m wondering if they will enforce no standing in the rows without safe standing next season.

No chance at all

No chance at all

Do you mean no chance that they will try to enforce it or no way they will be able to enforce it should they chose to?

Just keep it down FFS the north is good for snoozing mid match

The North Stand Screamer?

The North Stand Screamer?

Did anyone ever own up to being The Withdean Screamer?

Thanks for the reply!
Can I ask why you're moving to N1D? Better view? My goal was also to move more centrally behind the goal but with 3 us of it made it impossible with the lack of availability in those sections. Our new seats are Row Z in N1B and pretty much next to N1C - we weren't sure on the view from there as it's probably the only part of the stadium I haven't sat in for a cup game etc.

We moved to get a bit more atmosphere, be able to sing, and to stand - the West Upper used to be a lot better, atmosphere-wise, but over the past couple of years it feels like it's quietened down a lot (probably just a stadium-wide issue though).

Sounds like we're going to create the much needed third (and independent) singing section
