Football "banter" with plastic Prem fans

[Jim Van Winkle]

I'm a lifelong Spurs supporter , Brighton are my second team and will continue to support both in my own fashion .

Just like your avatar, you are a ass.

Football banter is so, so boring anyway - regardless if they're plastic or not. Anyone over the age of 14 who participates in said banter are a disgrace.

There's another solution. The club could reserve some of its available tickets (either non-ST tickets or ones held by the club for its guests) for U-18s. It would even fewer available every game for non-ST adults but would keep a new generation interested

The northwest shelf is for schools & youth groups. My grandson has been with school.

These "fans" will soon realise the likes of United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs etc have MASSIVE away supports. You can't just get a ticket because you feel like it! It will be borderline impossible as the tickets will all be purchased by the usual away lot.

Some people being a bit precious here. Throughout the last 20 years of under achievement, how many of us had a 2nd favourite premier league club to 'support'

I know I did.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love it when the NW 'shelf' is full of kids, they make an excited racket throughout the match and IF they get bored they fight each other with those giant foam hand things

I think you're in the wrong place. Most of us on here supported the club through those 20 difficult years, went to the Goldstone, Priestfield and Withdean.

Brighton have given me more joy in those "20 years of underachievement" than any successful top flight could have,

Just had a look at away ticket allocations for a couple of other clubs out of interest. At Man United 85% of away tickets go to those in the loyalty pot. For this you basically have to have had a season ticket and a home ticket for every cup game, and to have applied for a ticket to every away game for the last 15 years, in order to be put into a ballot. This is a genuine closed shop - no new members allowed! Maybe us giving priority to those who had a ST at Gillingham isn't such a crazy idea after all (runs for cover).

Chelsea seem to have a points system similar to ours, though you get far more points for away matches.

Hadn't really thought about it until you highlighted it, but "20 years of underachievement" is nonsense. We certainly haven't underachieved since Poyet took over (well maybe a little under Hyypia). We didn't underachieve when winning titles under Adams and Taylor. The idea that anything less than the top division isn't good enough is crap.

I was out drinking last night with an old mate of man who is a lifelong season ticket holder at Palace. He's moved to Shoreham from Croydon and loves life down here in Sussex. That aside, he's never going to change allegiance and neither are his two children, he really, really hates Brighton as much as I hate Palace.

But I'd go for a drink and chat football with any Palace fan over a plastic Prem fan any day of the week. Brighton and Palace fans both get what it means to support a side that will let you down more often than not.

He's coming to the REMF next week too. Can't wait.

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

There were Arsenal fans scattered all over the ground. With enough being blatant about it to piss me and others off. I do not want that again when we play the likes of Man Utd etc. So give me 'plastic' BHA fans over that any day.

Only time I've seen punches thrown in 1901 lounge. Arrogant Arsenal fan threw the first and regretted it.

 

[The Optimist]

Errr, no.

Pompey?

Going to be funny next year with the plastics complaining when they actually realise they cant get a ticket in the away end for their Prem team whinging that they should get priority because they live in Brighton

That raises an interesting question. What is the correct Premier League etiquette for showing one's displeasure at away supporters in the home sections.

Depending on where in the ground and who they are obviously....

1 Withering stare possibly combined with a roll of the eyes or a *tut*

2 Tell them to sit down/shut the f up.

3 Old school nawty (eg Goldstone BHA v Pompey)

4 Ignore them and let stewards deal with any serious issues

5 Engage them in friendly banter all part of the modern matchday Prem experience

6 Other

Pompey?

No, watched them a few times when I was at uni there but they were in the 2nd tier then.

Never even crossed my mind. I've no idea what this 'underachievement' is that you're talking about. Bar a couple of close shaves that were really exciting, Albion have hugely over-achieved in the circumstances with promotions and league titles. Only the venue was shit until 2011. So no excuse for jumping ship.

It's not just away supporters....it's 'home' supporters that support us as well.......going to be an interesting dilemma for some of them (at least if the cheering in our concourse when Chelsea/Man U/Arsenal etc score is anything to go by)

The bants thread and you brought your Northwich Victoria game.

 

[SeagullDubai]

The one I know didn't say anything due to the fact she is made of plastic. I don't even know what football team she supports?

I'm impressed with how many of you have managed to communicate with these things.

Is her name Barbie?
