[Albion] Something HAS to be done about the home atmosphere
- Thread starter JonnyComeEarly

There’s a chap in the North who bangs the back wall to drive some of the chants. I’ve not yet worked out how this is apparently different to having a drum.
I’m sure you could do something with the acoustics of the north, Royal Albert Hall style. And remove the roof above the away fans.

Like Leeds you mean?
The noise really ratched up in added time. For once we were not methodical and slow. Hence the goal?

The North Stand is plenty large enough to create loads of noise. It holds more than the South, which regularly creates a decent noise. The issue is that half the people in the NS don’t sing and half of those that do sing just seem to mumble also apologetically. If the 2,500 or so in the NS all sang loudly and in unison we’d have a cracking atmosphere.
I didn't know that!
Tremendous news. The last few series have been absolutely back on track.
You spotted my new user pic, right?
That's easy for you to say, from your lofty perch in West Upper
Another of the thoughts I’ve posted on here before, I wonder if the seats in the North being cheaper means people looking to get a season ticket have opted for the cheap option, but only being recently match going fans they aren’t natural singers. Maybe we need to look at creating a cheaper area (e.g. SW corner) to draw that traffic away from the North?

Right, this old chestnut (for the umpteenth time)
Firstly, on a personal level. I ain’t moving, I’ve been in that seat since the start and I’ll be the East Stands version of that stubborn bastard that wouldn’t sell his house to make way for a motorway thus bollocking up the whole project.
Secondly, do you seriously think that would generate more noise from the home support? It would merely increase the atmosphere of vocal away fans I.e Leeds, Forest, Newcastle. Palace even. Let’s face it, on a decibel level we’d get slaughtered.
Finally, the North Stand is not the centre of the universe, in the past many supporters groups have moved their singing areas, there is nothing to stop a group moving into the SWC to shake things up.
True. But on Palace Day there will be coked up Herberts everywhere. And on every other day there will be gobshite away supporters in the home seats.
On second thoughts.....

This should happen in two parts, both connected.
Firstly, fans currently in the NS should take a singing test, however long they might have supported the club or been resident in the North.
Secondly, any wannabees should undertake an 'X-Factor' style assessment, success based on clarity and volume.

We could get some guy with a megaphone to stand facing the north stand coreographing our singing and clapping.

My idea isn’t quite so attractive ..but Cucurella to play for every opposition team when playing at The Amex…..and Salisbury to ref every game ………hmm…maybe stick to the strippers.

When we beat Wolves 6-0 last season it was a truly awful atmosphere, probably the worst of the season. We've been watching the best football played by our club in it's history over the last 2 seasons yet the home atmosphere has been largely dogshit.

I'm sorry, but the AMEX atmosphere is worse that the WIthdean. Even our away support is no longer as loud as it used to be.
