[Albion] Arsenal fans in home stands

[zefarelly]

A guy in a brighton scarf and hat dropped his phone as he walked through the North stand concourse. I picked it up, caught him up and patted him on the shoulder to hand his phone back. As I did this I noticed the arsenal badge as his lock screen on his phone.

I'll pretend I didn't see that I say, jeee thaaaankyouu soo much he replied in some horrible American drawl.


A brighton clad, arsenal supporting yank tourist How thoroughly premier league.

Brighton as a second team and tourist supporters probably make up a significant percentage of Amex regulars these days.

There's going to be a fair few for sure, decades of being ground into the dirt mean that many followed other teams in that time. Don't understand that mentality myself but its a fact.

Also the case that the kids of those supporters will go on to be fully fledged albion fans. The lost support will regenerate soon. Tourists will disappear if we get relegated - just watching Blackburn on telly. Such a poor crowd for a promotion chasing team, ridiculous how folk seem only interested in the PL

non alcoholic gin

Non alcoholic beer or wine or liqueurs, sure I get it.

Non alcoholic gin though...?

Pitch looks terrible?
Do they share it with a Rugby league team?

That's not what I read at all.

Splitting hairs…..we obviously see things differently

The BHA clobber was disguise in case he bumped into some of the macho men on this thread

Yeah, really enjoyable. Proper gin glasses and as much effort put in as you would to an alcoholic gin cocktail. It’s all about making it an occasion. Also had non alcoholic Ghost Ship watching the match. As enjoyable as the alcoholic versions. Still haven’t found a decent non alcohol wine though unless it’s fizz.

With all the CCTV and how "family friendly" focused this club is, no one is going to be stupid enough to do anything about them

Would be useful if the CCTV spotted them and the stewards did something, especially if the Arsenal fans are obvious

 

[Guinness Boy]

That's not what I read at all.
He posted

and received several replies, one of which from Guinness Boy was "good evening Mr Gooner", so Guinness Boy was the fire-starter.

The bloke's first two posts on here were to have a dig on this thread and to defend Aaron Ramsdale, so, yes, I'm pretty sure he's a Gooner.

Nevertheless, he is only banned from this thread and is free to post positive and interesting things on any other thread about the Albion. I await them with glee.

 

[BN9 BHA]

I'll admit now, the only reason I have finally activated my account was someone calling Norwich fans entitled. Its time some of ours looked at themselves. I await Palace blah blah.

Interesting one this, no comment from you on the Norwich thread though…..unless under a different user name of course

Surely if its one or two people in your vicinity they get put in their place, which it sounds like happened. Why have a cry on here about it. If we had won then I doubt this thread would exist.
Hi, very long time viewer and refused to ever get involved in the Forum.

The part I struggle to understand is the last bit which seems pointless and a little too contrived as if trying too hard to convince us of his Albion credentials, why would you post that? And then him and Tommy two tits take every opportunity to try and derail the thread, strange behaviour.

To be fair to Tommy, two tits is the correct number of tits.

The club need to make a clear and continual statement constantly getting the message across and acting on it - that no exceptions - any away supporters are ejected. I get that home fans may applaud good skills from opponents but outright cheering celebrating goals and ANY merchandise be it a tiny badge or more obvious away shirt results in ejection and prosecution. We have ground rules regulations of entry; impose them!

 

[Stat Brother]

Probably a little more accurate.

I don't think we're quite there yet for 'destination fans', but if you want to find them, that's where to look.

Letting away fans in is a big no, perhaps Mr Barber should have his OBE rescinded?

So it’s a big no is it? How do you enforce it? I’m a season ticket holder in the West Upper, I couldn’t make the game yesterday so my seat went on the ticket exchange and was sold. Who to? I don’t know. Perhaps it was an Albion fan, a neutral, or a closet Arsenal fan - I really don’t care. If it was an Arsenal fan I hope he behaved himself.

With regard to your comment about letting away fans in (home sections) then think back to when we we played Villa away in the last fixture of our Championship season. There were loads of Brighton fans all over Villa Park. Try telling them that that was a big no - I somehow don’t think you’d get a friendly response.

P.S. My comments are based purely on tickets not required by Albion fans unable to make the game, rather than some greedy bugger selling their match ticket for profit - in which case they can burn in hell for all eternity.

Bloody one upmanship! I'm gutted

Have you seen total recall?

Well we do know it sold to someone who at the very least is either a Season ticket holder or an Albion + member.

God I love NSC.

Brilliant thread to read through on a dreary New Year's Day.

“Sold to”, yes. Used by? Hmmm
