Remember Brighton owning Elm Park. It was empty in those days. Obviously they weren't there when they were sh. It is pot (tin) calling kettle black.

Yep old boy... but at least I avoided saying anything about doing it in my underpants.
Not quite Lineker, more Paul Linger i'm afraid.

I don't buy this "when we were shit" business. We're playing in the Championship - that's all. We're not in the Premier League, just knocking on the door in the second tier yet every season we've been in this league at the Amex our attendances have been phenomenal - the renewal rates for STs is exceptionally high. And this is great news IF we go up because match tickets will be in huge demand but there's so few of them that we won't get many day-trippers and glory-hunters. Our stadium will be full of proper fans who have been very loyal as they do now even though we've won nothing yet.
Where were you when you were shit? Look around the ground and pretty much all of us have been here for years.

I did hear the tedious (when sung by any club IMO) ... "Jaap Stam's blue and white army". zzzzzzz

I thought it amusing when just about the only chant I heard from them was "Shall we sing a song for you" and then they didn't.
Be fair, it's not as if their players gave them anything to sing about.

Barring their club anthem, does Reading fans have chants? They're dead quiet, I would say the Arsenal of the championship but they'd take that as a compliment.
I doubt very much that the fans of many clubs would have put up with the Withdean experience for the number of years we did. I knew we were a well supported club because our away numbers in percentage of home game attendance while there were huge. It did not make sense if the that was all the fans, no team in the lower leagues that get that gate, regularly take 30% of it to
away games.
away games.

Ironically, arsenal create a great atmosphere away from home, that's where the similarity with reading ends.
When Arsenal came down here they only sung when they went ahead and had one song.

The Reading fans were dreadful, truly dreadful. Considering the number of them they hardly made a sound, and then about 75% of them left when the 3rd goal went in. Away fans are usually the most passionate and loyal and cheer their team no matter what. God knows what made that lot want to go to an away game. Still, we'll get some proper away fans on Tuesday.

So Reading sung their same (and few) generic chants as they always do. Shocker

Their football was so boring they probably fell asleep.
