For me at least, quite possible nobody else will care! I had to go to the ticket office before the game, in front of me was a family and the man at the front was getting quite irate.
A bit of presumption here but I guess the man was the grandfather or father of the two kids who were 6 & 9. The lady with them was their mother, the kids were head to toe in Brighton gear (full kit and scarves) and face paint on. The mother and (possibly) grandfather also had Brighton gear on. They were being taken for one of their birthdays and the lady was calmly explaining that she was really sorry but didn't think they would be allowed in.
They had gone to drop their rucksack at the bag drop, I assume the bag gets checked there. In the bag was a Man City carrier bag screwed up in the bottom which made them a 'security risk'. A supervisor comes along and takes over at the counter, he's really sorry but can't do anything. But however, and here's the genius but from the club, he can offer them an upgrade to hospitality where they naturally don't care who you support as you have more money. The man looks at the kids, one of whom is in tears and gets his credit card out and the club relieves him of another £191.
