I'm tempted to ask why people get so wound up about this, given I expect the majority of people at the Amex don't know most of the words.

But I'm much more bothered by Homer and Mr Burns being in the first image when neither of them were in this scene.

Yep def this. It’s way too ‘City’ and a bit cringe m. Get them off asap.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Nah

Change the build up it's crap, fan zone FFS. Ramp up the atmosphere, make it hostile.

The words on screen can only increase and not decrease participation in the song. A good thing for sure

They need to highlight the words karaoke style so people know what speed to sing at as well……

If people are getting “wound up” by this (although I’m sure “wound up” is a bit strong)
It goes to show where their Albion mojo is at present.
Pre match is generally a bit shite in my opinion, I’m a borderline pensioner but bloody ell, some of the music, my granny would have liked.Hey Jude was a great song in 1967 but to blast it out especially when we’re playing Liverpool, it’s just jank. We’ve got plenty of local bands to raise the roof not to mention the evergreen FBS.

Anyhoo, in answer to your second comment, yes I am equally bothered about that Homer/Mr Burns scene

Ok, on that basis then I’ll suggest it for every song next time a thread comes up about how shite the atmosphere is or how quiet the North Stand were today etc.

I’ll probably need a tin hat though

Can they ask the caterers to introduce a queueing system for the serving booths?
People queue straight outwards and are blocking people trying to make their way along the concourses.
It wasn’t too much of a problem in the North or on the odd occasion that I have been in the WSL as the concourses are that much wider, but after recently changing my ST to the WSU, where the concourses are narrower it is a right pain.

The first kiosk (North end) is a very bad design fault, i very rarely go onto the concourse before the match and at half time. Probably the worst part of the WSU.
Doesn’t help having a tv screen in that area, as fans stand around watching in the same area of the queues and fans trying to make their way through the concourse from the stairs.

This would be very funny.
A little football bouncing along above each word would be hilarious

I often get a little annoyed that the WSU is the worst concourse I’ve been on in the ground (and now done everywhere except away end) with terrible queue logistics and poor comparable choice of food, when there are so many Goldstone and Withdean fans there who kept going in the club’s darkest hours of need.

Then I look at the layout and height and understand that’s pretty much how it HAS to be.

Ultimately, we chose to go up there.

(PS I would suggest that a 1pm sale time would be more convenient for most fans.)

Speak for yourself.

Nothing wrong with a 9am sale time. I'm ready and given the rate that tickets are sold in the first 15 minutes a lot of other people are ready also.

 

[Nicks]

Back to away ticket sales. As someone in the very top LP tier and requiring to sit at away games so buy within the first few minutes of on sale time, why am I only offered the worst blocks. The better seats come online a few days later at no particular time. Chelsea for instance was always going to sell out but the upper blocks weren't available straight away.

Upper Block was available on first day as I got tickets in there.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I would like to know, why Albion mugs sold in the shop aren't dishwasher friendly? People scoff at this honest request, but they're not cheap so a little protection in production, rather than me having to mod podge them would really help

Can we get them to appear throughout the game every time we start singing it as well then?

That way we don't end up at about double the tempo

 

[tronnogull]

I know that Paul Barber has deflected questions about transport to and from the ground in the past. However, it has become the biggest difficulty about match day for many ( probably most ) people. It would be nice to know if the club acknowledge that and if there are any possible improvements being pursued. There are lots and lots of ideas on various threads on here.

Also, seriously, it would be well worth Paul Barber travelling to a game or two by P&R or train just to get a sense of why this is an issue to fans. ( I wouldn't be at all surprised if Tony Bloom would also be well up for this.) Hopefully it will piss down on the day he chooses........

This is mainly important because of the match day experience but surely the club and players would also prefer that the stands remain as full as possible until the end og games.

I disagree with this. Think it encourages people to sing, many of whom wouldnt otherwise.

Let’s not forget it wasn’t long ago we were playing in front of 7k every week. We don’t have a large group of long term fans.

They're ready at 9am because they they have to be. Many folk would have just arrived at work, be travelling, be in a lecture etc.

But anyway, it's a side issue.

totally agree , nightmare especially when you come up the steps near block A.

 

[Wardy's twin]

improve the toilets in WSU, 6 sinks in the wrong place at the moment and 4 dryers again wrong place. too many NOT washing their hands.... Probably need more seated areas and more urinals . 4 deep at half time is really not healthy.

away end is fine better than WSU for available space
