Must admit I haven't done Anfield, but done Emirates a few times last few years and no problems there - I guess as the London games sell out far quicker. But also never noticed it at MU etc

Yes, in fairness - I have only seen this issue at Liverpool & Spurs - not Arsenal..
4 teens (all from Brighton) in front of me a couple seasons back - 2 Albion, 2 Liverpool.
Bloke & his kid in spurs regalia in the away end a couple seasons back too
I wouldn't be opposed to our away base earning their stripes at some less popular games before being able to purchase for a top 6 team away..!
It is really easy for the club to find out how they get these away tickets….just ask to see them. Surprised they havnt done this already. Maybe they’re comps and they don’t want to upset sponsors?

I wonder if any of these plastics would wear another teams regalia at Millwall or Leeds..? Our fans are far too pleasant and accommodating at times. I feel sorry for those that did travel all the way up there and had to sit amongst it. If these people are gaining tickets through 1901 members, it's something that needs to looked into.
I can't make the Liverpool home game as I'm in Mexico. My brother-in-law is an armchair 'Liverpool fan' and I wouldn't ever consider offering him my seat...! I just won't put those around me through it

My missus is from Crawley and she thought I was going to get her a ticket for the game at the Amex so she could sit with me and watch the game……No darling not in my world,just doesn’t happen
It seems a lot on here are happy to do it but not this old kiddie go and sit with your own mob

No obvious Liverpool fans around us yesterday. Row 22 in AL7. Perhaps we were fortunate.

I noticed you on the way out not being happy. I'm assuming that was the crowd of Liverpool fans?
Plenty around me filming the dirge that is "You'll never walk alone" It was a weirdly soporific atmosphere yesterday. If I was generous I'd say that the massively high roof doesn't really help generating a noise but then it didn't seem to stop Liverpool making a racket who I thought did their bit as a crowd which we as a club only ever do on rare occasions.
Worst away atmosphere since Wolves away in the FA cup which had the extenuating circumstances of midweek and the shit stand.

I noticed a lot of people who I wouldn’t usually see at away games, which is fine, some Brighton fans who can’t usually get away tickets managed to go that’s really good, it’s just a massive shame that they’ve essentially got pushed down the list because some people have passed on tickets. On the train point though, the train up and down was only a 9 car, and was obviously double booked or something, but it’s just full of Southern reds, makes the whole thing tedious. On the way back a load of Southern giving it large singing all the way about how much they love coming from Liverpool as they all get off at Crewe.

Yeah I had a word with the Brighton stewards, just said it’s getting ridiculous here, and they agreed, said to email supporter services, which I will do.

There was a right 
who got on the same bus as me back to station having a right go at the driver about getting a ticket. He walk up the bus to his "mates" swearing away and this elderly lady said "he's only doing his job" and he went on about living in Brighton but being Liverpool. Real obnoxious group very loud all the way back into town. I wonder if they were part of the home fans in with us

IMO 1901 away tickets should be changed. I don't give a toss how much they pay, their entitlement should only be applicable to home matches they should be treated exactly the same as "normal" fans for away matches. Have a named person on each 1901 allocation and their tickets are not transferable.
A couple of years ago at a match at Old Trafford I swear everyone I spoke to were either Man U fans or people who weren't that bothered but were there with their Man U friend. And also Dale Stephens, but that's not particularly relevant.
I ended up chatting to one of the stewards, who was also a man u supporter, but at least she was actually mancunian and went to Old Trafford more than once a year.

No they wouldn’t and yes we are.
I’d love to call it at but at 57 years of age I’m a coward now so if I did do it it’d be after a skinful of liquor, I’d end up getting my words in a mucking fuddle, make myself look a twat and get slung out myself.
Needless to say I just keep my mouth shut.

The 1901 situation is flawed for sure. I’d never let a non Albion fan have my ticket for an away game, I rarely let anyone have it as I’m often using it. Shouldn’t be beyond the realms of the club telling all 1901 customers that they can’t assign away tickets to fans of the home team, and if they do then withdraw the privilege to those members.
I wouldn’t want the option to be removed, but if they did I’d understand it.

That's fair play, I think the majority does the same and that's understandable. The problem is the plastics that can't even be bothered to go into opposition stands icognito. I think raising concerns with the club is the main way in.
IMO, there needs to be much tighter controls on 'big 6' games home and away. Any ST caught sharing tickets with opposition fans should have their ST revoked (if even possible). Show zero tolerance and weed them out. f*** em!
