Is she seriously that stupid?
I'm not gay, nor are any of my friends.

By making such a stupid and unfounded statement, surely she's just playing into the hands of the away fans who once they get wind of this will have even more reason to continue with the homophobic abuse...

About 25% of my friends are gay.
Exactly 0% of those are Brighton fans.
About 75% of my friends are not gay.
Exactly 0% of those are Brighton fans.
Statistics eh?

I very much doubt it, that's a sweeping statement that 50% of Brighton fans know the words to SBTS

I think we need to break down the gayness of our support by stands.
My gaydar on the Amex is this -
North Stand - 95 % gay (glowsticks/banners etc)
East Stand Family area - 5 % gay (as same sex parenting is rife in Hangleton)
East Stand Upper - 70 % (very quite and well dressed)
South Stand - 10 % (changes on a match to match basis)
WSU - 0 % - (very manly in our area)
WSL - 70 % gay (very bitchy yet like Ashley Barnes)
Corporate - 100 % gay
Away support 0% gay.
Which I think averages out at about 50 % gay - so Liz is spot on as normal.

Ridiculous statement and one I presume she understands the inaccuracy of.
Exactly. Why would it matter if 50% of the crowd were gay?
Why would it increase?
Liz gets interviewed by the Argus & Radio Sussex on a regular basis as the media rep on the Supporters' Club committee. She turns down lots of interviews as she doesn't want to comment on them and they are sometimes on a subject where she doesn't feel the view is relevant. The phone calls can even be intrusive as we found out spending time with her in Portugal last preseason.
If you don't like her as vice chair of the Supporters' club then join it and vote her out.
I'm surprised that so many feel the need to post her photograph and mock a female pensioner who takes care of the disabled and elderly fans some of whom have been supporting the Albion since before the Second World war, on away trips. She also helped on the Falmer for All committee who helped win the stadium with hours & hours of hard work. Players who have had testimonials recently and currently have chosen her to be on their testimonial committee because of all her hard work.
You may not agree with her views but keep the discussion on subject rather than make personal abusive comments about her. For those who also want to make comments about her relationships, she lives with John Lees the Radio Sussex sports presenter.

no it doesnt. nationwide gay population is much less than 20% and i recall that the oft cited 10% is a finger in the wind. Football fans are not representitive of the general population, for a start the crowds aren't ~50% women. some groups arent interested in some pasttimes and interests. its quite resonable given the longer history of football that very few gay men are attracted to it, of all those i've come across only one i know is a hard footie fan.

This.
It is no more likely for a Brighton fan to be gay than ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. Gay people/gay couples move to Brighton - as adults - from other parts of the country, because they hear it is "gay-friendly" / has a gay scene. Simples. Opposition fans are too thick to understand this.
Its like people genuinely believe that if you are given birth to in a BN postcode you are genetically more likely to be gay.

Sorry if this was said in an early post but not read all 4 pages.
Okay I agree that the 50% figure is going to be wrong. However from reading the 1st page it seems people are offended by the suggestion. I think as a club we should be proud that someone would suggest that figure. Football is seen by many as a heterosexual male sport. If the club is able to do something about changing that it can only be a good thing.

She doesn't represent 'the supporters'.
Just shows how out of touch Radio Sussex are IMO. If they wanted the truth on this subject why didn't they talk to The Justin Campaign instead of some clapped out grandma?
The supporter's club has a vice section?
That's scary. The thought of ***** ***** doing an enormous **** on a (heavily reinforced) Ikea glass coffee table whilst the likes of *** and *** ***** are underneath ******* themselves off puts me off my Shreddies. I just hope the new software that Bozza has installed to prevent Google Ads picking up disgusting phrases or images in the head is working!
