Commentator on my stream called it at the time. Said something along the lines of it not being wise by Brighton as it would get the home fans going and the team as well.

[Albion] Away fans in home ends
- Thread starter empire
- Start date
Agreed. I’m not preventing it happening elsewhere, just not next to me.
The fact it is happening should concern the club.
That was part of the charm.
We’ve got loads of ‘fans’ with A+ memberships (and purchase history) that support ‘big’ clubs……..no idea how they can be stopped buying tickets. Very annoying.
It was all of the charm.

Trent provoked it?

I don’t see how people were complimentary about the noise made by the Liverpool fans,
It was the epitome of “sing when you’re winning”

No - don't think so. As far as I can recall it was just a tussle, and they squared up to each other. But it obviously irked their fans.Trent provoked it?

I’d have to watch it back to make sure but it sure seemed like it in the moment from where I was seated.
I know they cannot take every circumstance into account but when i got the email I rather wished i had turned up in my hospital gown with my drip stand and have a nurse pump me full of antibiotics & pain relief at half time.
Just to prove a sodding point.
They should look at your attendance history before doing their usual one message to all.

Before the equaliser. The scuffle the trigger.
54 minutes on here https://www.fullreplays.com/england/premier-league/liverpool-vs-brighton-2-nov-2024/
But to be fair - the Liverpool fans had got up some steam before then.

Thanks, I didn’t realise you could find full replays. From 54’ it changed.
The commentary duo, it’s funny listening to a narrative, with 40 minutes to go relentlessly painting the picture of Verbruggen will spoil the day. 40 minutes is an age.

I’ve confused the issue with a typo I’ve just noticed and edited. It should read “I DON’T see…”
I’d add additional questions on the origins of the banoffee pie, knowledge of the word ‘twitten’, the rules of stoolball and then ask them to recite GOSBTS.
They’d also have to memorise Charlie Oatway’s full name.

Many Brighton fans seem to want ‘global reach’ and all that entails. There have been threads on here in praise of the money spinning tours to the US and Japan. The whole point of these was to attract new supporters. These people will not be traditional old school BHA fans. That’s just a fact. Similarly, much of the new Sussex based support who would never have supported the club if we were still in Div 3. You can’t be gushing with pride about a sold out Amex and an amazing football team if you are not prepared to accept the downside of a plastic PL support. A lot of the moans on here are entirely justified but they are the same accusations that used to be leveled by BHA fans against the likes of Arsenal, Man U and Liverpool. Half and half scarf carrying supporters are inevitable in this new football tourism era and many on NSC have been excited to see so may of these new fans but perhaps not so thrilled about the consequences. Personally I have had enough of the PL and would be quite happy to be back in the lower divisions and then these issues disappear. That doesn’t apply to now though and like many long standing BHA fans I only get away tickets because full allocations are taken. So I am hoping people can be a little more realistic about what a PL support in 2024 actually looks like (basically just like ours at every ground I have been to)so that I can continue to buy tickets.

It's not about new fans supporting BHA, it's about opposition fans getting tickets in home/away ends and openly supporting that team. It takes the piss.
Completely accept that and have the same feeling regarding the PL and all the nonsense that goes with it. Influencers and all the bollocks.
New fans, great. That global reach. I completely get it.
But, when the Club bang on about loyalty and fairness it feels like it’s only STH (non 1901) who are judged in that way. The application of their ‘rules’ is discretionary for some but cast in stone for us.

Perhaps in some sort of context, my coffin manufacturer took me to Palace away last December, at late notice the only tickets he could get were corporate, we were in one of the box/lounges behind the goal, right next to the away end, there were 24 people in there and we were pre warned it would be a mixture of supporters.
Of the 24:
4 were Palace fans, 4 of us and the rest (16) were foreign tourists, American, Canadian, Korean, some of whom, in conversation, revealed they'd actually paid more than us via third party ticket agencies.
Its a truly global game, and Albion, Palace et al, will sell tickets to whoever is prepared to pay the money, regardless of who they support.
