Some Germans are Nazis. Although the vast majority are well balanced, decent individuals.
You do know he is Palace
Nayor you're a f***ing prick (print that in your paper) and a f***ing prick just for this comment alone:
"Albion do seem to have a moronic element more prevalent in my experience than at many other clubs."
In your experience! In your experience of gauging moronic supporter levels at clubs up and down the country. How long have you been spending your time gauging moronic supporter levels exactly? What does it involve exactly? Is it an exact science? I'm sorry but not even a spotty 12 year old writing for a fanzine would write something as ridiculous as that. Pathetic.
Slight correction Seagull 1967...his actual words were..."SOME of more moronic element of Albions fanbase,every club has them, so to say 'SOME' is not a huge generalisation.Totally agree with you opening sentence though.The Amex is our home and fans would like everything just so. This includes service at food stands etc. It is always said that we do not complain enough in our society and when we do we get shot down on flames. No pleasing some people.
I for one, (I am sure others would agree), we are extremely grateful to TB and his project team for building a fantastic stadium where we can watch a good quality of football, (lets hope), but for Andy Naylor to make these comments to the general public I feel is very unwise. Using the comments "moronic element of Albion's fanbase" is a huge generalisation and goes to show he does not understand Brighton fans. I would almost go as far to say he is being a bigot!!
That comment ("Albion do seem to have a moronic element more prevalent in my experience than at many other clubs.") is totally out-of-line. Our fans seem to have more friendships with other clubs than rivalries (by which I mean, for every Crystal Palace we've got a Donny Rovers). How "many other clubs" can say that? There are plenty of things Brighton fans can be legitimately accused of, but this isn't one of them.
Actually, for all thevpeople who want to have a dust up with palace fans, there are a he'll of a lot of people who have palace supporting mates, developed friendships through the Remf organisation and have moved on. Yes, I scorn their club and laugh heartily at their results, but that is where it stops.
On twitter naylor reckons we have over reacted to a throw away comment......I am not sure writing a column in a paper referring to moronic fans can be regarded as an over reaction...rather a decent response
I would also add that printing the story in the paper cannot be classed as "Throw away comment"
but maybe he was just trying to stoke up another story line.
He must be doing something right as we are all talking about it on here.
