Things we can learn from The Derby

Brighton TID · May 12, 2014

1. The Derby are the best team we have played four times this season.
2. Will Hughes is an albino pain in the arse.
3. The Derby fans are actually 'OK'.
4. Steve McLaren has funny hair and used to be a laughing stock but is now a really, really good manager.
5. We should never, ever, ever entertain the idea of playing music when we score at home. It is frankly embarrassing.
6. There is only one gents at The Pride Park.
7. The hot water at The Pride Park is the hottest in the world.
8. The Derby have sponsors for everything, including for the added on time.

It was indeed.

The tunnel. That's also sponsored. As were the substitutions. As no doubt is Steve McLaren's jacket & umbrella, the weather, and the moon reflecting over Pride Pa....sorry. The iPro. Of course.

they have a good unified dressing room, we don't,

11. It rains a lot
12. Their fans are loud when winning and on the verge of promotion
13. It is possible to play possession football with some pace and attacking intent
14. A ram will beat a seagull in a fight

Did they really do that? What is their club anthem? Did it make you think it was a good idea for SBTS at The Amex?

Kevlar · May 12, 2014

you can play fast attacking football with one central attacker

This must have been a 'special' for the playoffs - possibly as there were a lot of people there that don't normally go. I don't remember this being done when we played them in January (although I probably got to my seat just before kickoff).

I need to do some work today but could rehearse everything that has been said millions of times before on here about "Sussex By The Sea"....

15. Pride has a very different meaning in Brighton. Not 1 single rainbow flag all day.

There might be something in this, we have to start sponsoring EVERYTHING.

Every urinal , advertising space above the urinal something to look at while your having a lash.

Obviously the khazi would be more to advertise as you can sit down and write things down. nifty note pad and pen by the side would help.

Even down to the bog roll, little advertising sign above it with "This Crystal Palace toilet roll is sponsered by.............."

I know the big screen told them to do it but it was quite effective when everybody was waving their scarf above their heads when their theme tune was being sung and "we're gonna bounce in a minute" followed by the whole terrace bouncing looked quite good as well.

Yes, Steve Bloomer's Watching, and probably, Yes.

I have never been in any doubt that the same approach taken to Sussex By The Sea would be a good thing - maybe someone from the club noticed?

You could sponsor the actual lash too, so you don't just go for a piss, you go for a piss in association with Gregg's?

BBassic · May 12, 2014

The thing I took away from it is that we should be sticking visiting supporters in a corner. Preferably not by the East.
