My son does. 
Me and my neighbour are both lifers.
I find it hard to believe anyone in earshot leave the game in a positive frame of mind - at least we make each other laugh.

[MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] sits a row in front and enough seats along to not get on my nerves which is fine.

Funniest thing my neighbour and very good friend said to me Saturday, after a lengthy negative tirade was 'lovely weather though'...which I did find hilarious.

I have someone new behind me this season, has nicknames for most of the players.... Taz, cucu, Tross etc....
running commentary to the entire game and shouts REALLY loudly at them, I'm sure they can't hear him but I bloody can!
I don't mind a bit of passion aimed at the team but being shouted at from behind from about 2 foot away when you don't know its coming gets a bit annoying!

Yep. Guy in front of me keeps saying FFS all through the game and constantly standing up when he thinks we are going to score, admittedly he has not done that many times recently!

Had a lot of trouble with a rowdy, foul-mouthed group of young lads in the first season at the Amex, so much so that l rang the club and they agreed to move me.
I was relocated further along the West Lower to W1G, and l've been very lucky ever since, l get on really well with everyone seated around me.
Long may it continue.

It's been so dire recently l imagine everyone in the North Stand remains seated now.
Folks in front are really nice and will have a chat about last match and predictions for the current match and the like. On one side I have a lovely family who always have a chat, offer bag of sweets around etc. On the other side I have another family and the mum is really really moody. Get the impression she hates football and is just there make sure the young son is not being lead astray. She never acknowledges our presence and spends whole match on her phone on Facebook, Instagram etc. Really really hoping they move for next season.
All that said I can get a bit vocal and excitable during matches so dread to think of what others think.

All good people around me.
Not sure they would say the same.

Well you only have to put up with one another every other Saturday afternoon . . . or that used to be the case when all games were played on a Sat afternoon.
Quite a rarity now come to think about it.

But she only gets on your nerves at the football? That's a result, my Mrs says that I manage to get on her nerves even when I'm asleep.
I’ve not had anyone regular next to me for ages. The last regular occupant of the seat moaned constantly at Dale Stephens (shows how long ago it was) and even brought his son to one game where he briefed him before kick off about how bad Stephens was. I told the kid to take no notice and luckily Stephens had a great game. I think that might have been the last time I saw him!
The others around us are fairly quiet but we get on ok with the lady behind us.

The people either side of me do.
Generally been very lucky.
But when we gave up our WSU front row seats, a bonus was leaving behind a couple of retired school teachers sitting right behind us. Sussex-based northerners who only became Albion fans when the Amex was opened. The women was a relentless loud talker who knew jack-shit about football …. “calling policeman” every time an Albion player was fairly tackled.
At Withdean and WSU by coincidence we sat next to coppers …. great companions and Albion to the core.

I’m in the NS.
At the Villa game I had a 6’6” bloke directly in front of me, standing the entire game and moving left to right forever blocking my view of the defeat (so not all bad).
Luckily just a Ticket Exchange punter, not there for ‘Pool.
Jack Straw
I look nothing like him!
He sounds like the bloke who was right in front me at Southampton!
It could well be.
He said at Stains he’d blocked the view of a silver fox, who was more interested in the ladies than the football.
It’s a small world.
