We stood up and sung are hearts out last season trying to lift the team into that final play off spot.
The first 15 minutes of the 2nd half was one of those moments where you were proud to be an Albion fan with the passion shown.
And why, because the stewards were sensible and let us do what we wanted. There was no trouble and they even commended our supprt at the end of the game

Yep, what he said. They let us stand for the whole game last season, no drama.
The only iffy one, was a scary looking beast of a woman, at the door of the 'common room'.

very good with away Fans let u standall game... they are more interested in inforcing the Southend fans to sit down in the singing areas... hence the crap atmosphere at the Hall

correct
F League rules states Home Stewards are only responsible for the home fans and must make sure we sit down while the game is in play ..
I'm assuming I get in after another ticket office cock-up! Just been down to pick up my ticket (which I paid for on Wednesday)... Took them 10 minutes to find it, then they give me one with "concessions" circled in biro. He said that someone had done that by accident, but if it show's up as concession when I get there they might not let me in! Have printed out my bank statement just in case....

I guess part of the reason they don't mind the away fans standing up is that the stand is so old and the seats so badly chucked in that most people would struggle to fit their legs in and see the match. A shame Brighton stewards aren't as sensible as the Southend ones. And the lady in the doorway to the family room was amazing!

You have just underlined how Brighton stewards ARE sensible - in understanding general AWAY fan's ire with the AWAY stand - apparently something like Southend's stewards. However, although we still encourage away supporters to sit down, and require that they endeavor to comply - we cannot change the fact that the view sucks so badly that they are inevitably going to stand, strain to see the action, and complain about the poor view.
The HOME fans though, can't seem to grasp that FACT, and will insist "you let them stand, and (although the South Stand view is mostly excellent or at least adequate) we should be allowed to stand like them".
No, of course "Brighton stewards are not sensible"
Not to mention AGAIN that Withdean is a sensitive location where we do need fan compliance in order to stay on the right side of safety and other league rules.

I thought someone might not let me get away with a generalised and unfounded comment about our stewards. You're probably right, although I seem to think that they tell away fans to sit down as well - maybe I'm just imagining this to prove my geneal rule that stewards suck!

The rules that stewards have to follow, occasionally supersede "common sense" in order to succeed. For example, say 3,000 people all use their own "common sense" to do whatever they think makes sense to them, and you have mayhem and misery for almost all of them. It's not Notting Hill Carnival, at a football match, y'know?
