It can be a traumatic experience standing in the away end at Brighton’s Withdean Stadium. The stadium – the term is used loosely – is the Seagulls’ temporary home until they move to their state-of-the-art ground in Falmer.

The away ‘stand’ is about 20 yards away from the pitch and the stadium itself can hardly be described as expansive. So the following chant gets a fair few minutes of airtime at the Withdean and it also crops up across the country whenever fans visit stadiums that are a little on the small side:

My garden shed! (My garden shed!)

Is bigger than this! (Is bigger than this!)

My garden shed is bigger than this!

It’s got a door and a window!

My garden shed is bigger than this!

[To the tune of ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’.]
