I must admit, it seems a bit churlish to laugh at the home support when:

There were no spaces,i couldn't even get a seat, loads of people were standing on the stairs!

There were loads at the front.

Have to say, for a large proportion of the game the Soton fans were the louder (on the telly)... Best home crowd I've heard for ages!

[Lord Bracknell]

I distinctly heard the information being conveyed to the TV audience that we are a town full of faggots.

To put this to bed once and for all and to do credit to the fans at the game - without a shadow of doubt it WAS the Brighton fans who could be heard for the majority of the game.

As LB has mentioned - there were bouts from Saints 'fans' doing the usual gay stuff - but for the majority of the game and certainly for all but the last couple of minutes of the first half - it was ALL Brighton.
