    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    In recent years I'd say the 4 biggest new chants are: Withdean to Wembley Who's that man from Argentina Oscar Garcia, he drinks Sangria And Bissouma Only 1 of those would be considered a 'simple' chant and yet all have taken quickly and widely. Chants take when the are good, not just when they...

    Not mutually exclusive. *Rolls eyes*

    Wow! F**king paranoid or what?! Do you run these statements through you own head before you write them?

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    The reason the away fans are where they are is that the south has been configured with 'removable barriers' on the concourse so that the are can be expanded/contracted as required. This was clarified by PB a few seasons back when it was suggested the away fans should be in the SE corner. At...

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    Here's hoping. I'm in row Z so not really an issue, we stand and don't get hassled because we don't block anyone's view but always conscious that the League, Police, Stewards or Club could all kick up a stink about standing and have it enforced. Being 'legal' would be better.

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    Somewhere between none and f**k all I believe, based on previous club statements. The limit on capacity at the moment is transport, toilets, exits and all those annoying H&S things, not the physical number of seats. While a few additional seats here and there can be squeezed out, any...

    Perhaps you were unaware but most of the North Stand sing different words to 'Murray Wonderland' than the family stand. The alternative lyrics would certainly be considered offensive by most!

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    What would you say are classics? Being so close to where players warm up there are a lot of chants coming out from my area that may seem odd or mis-timed (why sing Solly's chant when he's not playing? But if we see him warm up then we will serenade him, for example). But there are *very* few...

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    I can't speak for NSK as a group and wouldn't want to. However, from what I have seen in the last couple of seasons being in amongst them, there are maybe half a dozen 'starters' (ones who will, at volume, scream out the trigger words/phrases to get a chant started). Then I'd say you have...

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    How many football chants are solos? You only need a couple of dozen seated people to generate a decent noise and be the catalyst for it to spread. Not saying it's better to sit, just saying it's a sh*t excuse for not singing.

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    _and_Son and I are among the few that can contribute to this debate from both sides. From when the corners were put in, we were at the front of SWC, singing with the vocal group there (hi guys). A couple of seasons back, _and_Son declared he was tall enough to stand (and see) and we moved to...

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    "Withdean to Wembley", "Who's that man from Argentina" and "Oscar Garcia, he drinks Sangria" spring to mind as songs that spread incredibly quickly but I understand the issues over *new* songs. However... "Brighton Aces", "Glory, Glory", etc are all VERY established chants that everyone...

    [Albion] How to improve NS and Amex atmosphere?

    As someone under the Police Box I can tell you it is so rare that we can hear anyone in other parts of the North that we couldn't join in anyway. If the club set mic and speakers between the two existing singing sections (not pumping noise out but allowing us to actually hear each other...
