That Song. we Are The North Stand, The North Stand...

[supaseagull]

Ok here's my two penneth on this subject-

1. Shut up complaining about songs being sung at the Amex. If you don't like it don't sing it.

2. Football songs are always nicked from other clubs. with the exception of the odd one or two like GOSBTS all of our songs are nicked from other teams so get over it.

3. If those in the north stand are our "ultras" then they should give up now. My 63 year old mum sung longer and louder than the North stand last night!

Actually it would have been nice to hear the north stand sing something, in fact anything in the second half last night...so quiet and an absolute embarrassment against our biggest rivals.

I think that song is awful as well, as has been said the majority of the songs seem to be about where a fan sits/stands. And every time I heard it last night on the player I was wondering if it was us or them singing it. And from now on every time its sung it will remind me of last night.

North standers, face it, you get outsung every time by the west stand due to the numbers involved, you sing we're the north stand at 50dB and the west will reply at 150dB. When the entire ground sing as a unit the noise is amazing and would scare the crap out of any players and fans not expecting it. Even at the Liverpool game when the West Stand started it took the commentators by surprise.

The fans maybe the 12th man but we need to support the 11 on the pitch who actually have the ball

The problem is that our version has better words but it doesn't scan.

Once the "wo-o-o-oer" bit has finished, no-one knows how to start it off again, so people only join in for the "wo-o-oer" bit again.

It's not a Palace song, it's come from many places (including St. Pauli of course). No problem with us singing it, but we can't at the moment, so unless we sort it out, drop it.

St Pauli/Celtic/Palace/IRA scumbag song.

 

[Captain Sensible]

I thought they changed it from north stand to Brighton?
Anyway, the first few last night sounded good, lost it's way in the second half, so did the team.

Leave those kids alone.

Careful questioning the Ultras, they will come after you...

dont mind the song but sing it less now that more people have learned the words as its become another victim of the 'how fast can we sing' crew.

also agree that it was pretty sickening to hear them sing it 10x better than we have and id rather not sing it at all than have that again.

 

[Richard Hebberd's Syrup]

Palace had the same amount of people in the away end as we had in the North Stand. Why then, does that song sound so pathetic when sung by us, yet actually quite good when sung by them?

 

[kano]

probably because we cant sing fuckall without getting faster and faster.

almost every song we sing the left and right sides of the north stand are completely out of time with each other cause they have both sped up at different rates.

 

[The Phoenix]

St Pauli/Celtic/Palace/IRA scumbag song.

Yeah, it was a popular ditty to be whistled by IRA members on the way back from a bombing.

Joker.

 

[Storer 68]

Ridiculous thing to say

except the "Seagulls" chant was a direct rip off of Palace fans chanting "Eagles" at the 1976 home fixture..............................

 

[bennibenj]

dont mind the song tbh, but agreed palace sounded so so much better. slower, unified and in time with each other. gosbts got to slow down a bit too

 

[Soton Seagull]

Always found it a bit cringeworthy since the (illiterate) 'Kollective' started singing it. Scrap it and find something catchier.

Stadium is great when all 3 sides sing in unison.

 

[Nottseagull]

So we're not talking about the song similar to 'right side, left side' here (I've just gathered). So, what tune is this to and what are the lyrics? I'm just curious!

 

[Zamoracomehome]

But it isn't a Palace song is it? I was watching a Bundesliga game on ESPN last weekend and they were singing it.

The only thing the whole stadium could sing was albiooooonnn it was a f***ing joke.

 

[Gazwag]

the (illiterate) 'Kollective'

Bit illiterate spelling "Southampton" "Soton" isn't it?

 

[HG201]

Palace had the same amount of people in the away end as we had in the North Stand. Why then, does that song sound so pathetic when sung by us, yet actually quite good when sung by them?

Because all of the palace fans join in, probably less than half of the North Stand actually sing it, most still don't even know the words, or just choose not to join in such a poor song

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I was hoping for a good Italian style flag, banner type display from the NSK last night...

I think part of the problem with the Ultras is that they will never get any bigger because, quite simply, it is unlikely anyone who fancies joining in will be able to shift their season tickets next to them.

PS - I have always thought that 'North Stand' song is shit.

Are they kids though?
