When a stand is ALL SINGING. Standing has little relevance these days in my experience. It's not like 20 years ago when a packed out terrace swayed you were constantly moving around in the crowd. It's just standing up for the sake of it nowadays, and I just don't it, I'm afraid. Given earlier...

Really? Then please enlighten me, oh wise one, to what I don't understand.

Standing and singing. or generating an exciting atmosphere, are not mutually exclusive.

We've got an all seater stadium. We got lovely padded seats. Why would you want to stand up for an entire match, especially when it's as drab as the second half on Tuesday, when you've got these facilities, apart form the fact that it's breaking ground regulations? As I said earlier, I'm happy...

See, this is my problem: I bought season tickets for me and my two sons (now 14 and 10) in the north stand on the back of the presentation we were given before the ground opened. I was actually intending to buy seats in the upper west, but was persuaded by the prospect of the singing, the...

Should we get Gareth Malone along to organise a North Stand choir?

No scantily clad sunbathing women spotted, I'm afraid, but the coach we were on was absolutely rammed with about 80% Brighton. Loads of singing and a really good atmosphere. The Millwall fans I was stood by (crushed up against) were totally bemused by the la-la-la's of 'Good Old Sussex By The...

Can we also ban the unwashed and the downright ugly while we're at it? Oh, and also large women who insist on wearing leggings but have thighs the size of oak trees. Shopping could be so much more enjoyable with a bit of sensible social cleansing!

I'm even seeing ads for bloody mobility scooters now when I read this thread. I'm currently a cycling menace (apparentyl) but secretly can't wait until I get a scooter!

Surely this should be banned, it's potentially lethal. Pretty much every day shoppers are backed up and forced in to dangerous manouvers to reach the baked beans or cans of lager. Fair enough before sunrise and after dark when the shops are less busy but I'm seriously thinking about campaigning...

The only thing that's a potential death trap for cyclists are other vehicles on the road. All car drivers, mini-cab drivers, van drivers, bus drivers and lorry drivers are COCKS, the lot of 'em. I say ban them all, or better still put all the money thay shell out in road tax towards building...

"We've got loadsa Money" (all waving tenners). Remember that going down well at away days in the late '80s (albeit with £1 or £5 notes in those days - that's inflation for you!)

I'm a cyclist myself, and commute regularly from worthing to Brighton, but I have to say that generally the cyclists in Brighton horrify me. I rarely see any of them stop at lights, junctions or pedestrian crossings, and that includes all kinds of cylists from lycra-clad fakengers on their...

Wow, never knew that and I would have been there too around that time ('79-'86). You don't recall what teacher it was, do you? Killing Joke seemed to always be on C4's "The Tube" around that time although I prefered their earlier stuff more.

Wow, haven't come across anyone else who's even hear of "The Stupids". Great band at the time. I was quite into the 'alternative' screne, so bands like The Pixies, The Fall, Husker Du, The Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jnr come mind. However, if I had to pick just one defining band of the '80s if would...
