Where were you and what was the noise like?

[British Bulldog]

Was in the upper tier and there was plenty of singing going on, ok it went a bit quieter after they scored their 2nd but it was still better than the Hammer's fans offered.

 

[Eggmundo]

Middle front lower.
Tried to keep in synch with the chants but there seemed to be 2 to 3 pockets competing for superiority.
Overall pretty good, died in the 60th minute.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

In the Doctor Marten's Upper near the Albion fans. Albion fans were excellent, especially the Upper Tier - it seemed like the Lower Tier were just joining in. However, I thought you kept it going very well, even when we went 2-0 down. West Ham fans were pathetic; a good number round me were laying into their side in a big way - "stroll in the park", "do you lot care?", etc. I thought the Bobby Moore Lower was supposed to rock, but the only fans I heard were the ones in the corner next to you. Presumably they had been displaced by our extra allocation. BoF, where were you? I was in Row B, Seat 308.

Spot on. The Hammers were grumbling and seemed very edgy.
Row U, 199. Bit dead up there. Did you see Oatway at half time? He was with a couple of friends/family.

 

[Seagullible]

Upper tier just to the left of the goal. Thought we made a good account of ourselves. West Ham were very poor imho and wes nearly in a fight for saying their support wad poor and the result flattered them... until 2 other West Ham fans interviened and very much agreed with me and said our support was the best they'd seen all season. (they actually started on the other fan BIG time!)

 

[Jameson]

considering how many we were supposed to number I thought we were rubbish

 

[Zesh Rehman]

I was upper tier and there was plenty of noise, mainly because i ended up sitting next to Dave The Gaffer.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Sadly no. I was in a crush trying to get to the gents at half time, so didn't see anybody. The Albion fans in the home stands did a good job completely hiding themselves.

Glad to see you got out and home safely.

.....Albion fans in the home stands did a good job completely hiding themselves.

I got a bit lonely and wanted to chat about the game. I did have a few words with Oatway and he seemed to be on good form. THought I recognised LI from a photo on here, but didn't want to risk it! Nice to see the game, but not the same at all.

I wonder how many of us, there were?

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Upper Tier, back row. Surprised that we weren't nearly as loud nor as boisterous as at The Den in the JPT. Now that was a fantastic atmosphere, even with only 900 of us.

Thought our headsdropped (players AND fans) once we were two down though. Singing SBTS right at the end was a nice, defiant touch.

 

[Al Bion]

I was in the lower tier, right hand side and thought it was a great atmosphere and noise level during the first half but things died down during the second half to barely ok level.

Weird though as I couldn't hear the upper tier singing at all.

 

[Ian Bairds Fist]

"I'd just like to say well done to all the brighton fans who traveled up today, they were fantastic. They sang all game, even when they knew it was over, and they completely embarassed us support wise.

Could open a can of worms about how spoilt some of our fans act, but when teams & fans like brighton have to goto league 1 games week in week out it makes you realise that really we aint as hard up as some people make out.

Anyway, absolutely fantasic showing from the albion. hope things get better for them, fans like that deserve it."

who was that? Curbs?

 

[dougdeep]

Almost behind our goal, it was pretty loud but some people will never join in.

 

[Yorkie]

We were to the left front lower.
Getting chants in synch did seem to be the main problem and wasn't helped by the fact that there were two tiers.
The lower would just get one going when the upper tier would start drowning us out.

 

[The Oldman]

In lower tier LH side looking at pitch. Never really got going; a lot of quiet folk about and 2 Met Coppers who kept picking on any lads trying to get it going. At least the Stewards gave up trying to make us sit down.
Could not hear upper tier. Did you lot stand throughout the match?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Lower tier. I thought we were loud in the first half, quiet in the second. Wasn't especially loud I thought, there have been many better.

 

[algie]

Great turn out by Brighton but overall i thought we were quite poor in the atmosphere department.Nothing like Millwall away when we beat them 0-1 in the league.It doesn't help when you cant sit with mates though

 

[El Presidente]

Fourth row of upper tier, could only hear our singing, thought it was good rather than spectacular. Surprised at the quietness of the Hammers support, although it is the equivalent of us playing the likes of Stafford, so can understand why they are not going to go give it 100%.

Disappointed with the whinging at Henderson from some around us. They seemed to want him to make a mistake so that they could be proved right in their preference of keeper.

 

[The Large One]

Upper Tier. Pretty decent amount of noise - but just not from near where I was sitting. Everything seemed to be coming from in the middle of the Upper Tier.

Severely dissappointed by the number of away seats that were empty by full time.

The narky old bastard in front of me had two boys with him, and because the Dad was bored, shouting out 'this is shit, Brighton', that with 10 minutes still to go, he wanted to leave. The two young lads with him, possibly on their first day out, were near to tears because they wanted to stay and at least appluad their team off, or stay till the end at any rate.

Selfish git.
