[Albion] Glory fans in the East Stand

[Buzzer]

Respectfully, the lower east isn't really a Brighton end and never has been. You could compare it to the neutral side of the Putney end. I'm sure there are scatterings of true albion fans in there but they are at least equalled by people like this kid and his dad, or worse.

They pay just the same as any of us and I welcome that they do, though I would prefer a smaller capacity with a more passionate and boisterous crowd but these people are getting priced out and banned. Having been in this stand myself, it was one of the most soul-destroying experiences I have ever willingly subjected myself to and would give up going to the football if I had to be in there every other week.

You make a very good point. The East Stand has a weird vibe to it. I have sat there twice with my lads and we've hated it.

He can support whomever he chooses but home fans go in the home end and away fans go in the away end. If you're an away fan in the home end then you should show some respect to the home fans around you and keep schtum. That lad's dad didn't.

These aren't new-fangled rules. They are very well-established and long-standing.

Also rather disappointingly was a number of other fans around that rear clapping him ffs!

I know at least 3 people that sit in the east, they are all weird.....

I’ve got tickets in the East Lower for the Swansea match, I decided to get tickets there so I could shout at the away fans. Hopefully someone will smash Ayew out of the game.

ESL is a strange old place. E1A and E1B are family stand, and you do get your 'sit down I can't see us take our penalty' crowd, leave on 85mins no matter what is going on, and Dads who'd rather be in the North, but are in there for their kids. You then have E1C which is a varied mix and occasionally rain down abuse to the linesman or opposing players. E1D to E1F is a sit as close the the halfway line as possible crowd, with blankets, flasks and limited vocal involvement. E1G and E1H (where this kid was) tend to be most of our guest tickets and general sale allocations, so mixed bag as to who you get in there. It is a funny old place.

I'm old school, I don't like it very much either, but before any further accusations are made I think that the perpetrators involved should be found and hauled up in front of the NSC discipline committee (any suggestions) to find out exactly what the situation was and who they support.
If they were all Brighton fans then they should all be sentenced to a week in the company of HB&B.
They won't do it again.

Not that old school. Old school is when fans weren't segregated. In 1967 I was on the East terrace at the Goldstone with Brighton & Chelsea fans.

What a prattish comment. The East Lower had their tickets BEFORE the upper. The upper are more likely to be plastics.

That'd be me then lol! And there are plenty of others giving it some.

You lot also gave Schelotto a well deserved standing ovation everytime he bombed it down the wing 2nd half. I loved that.

No not that old school, 1973.
But was on the East terrace enough times when there were plenty of away fans there who shouldn't have been.
Nice to see we are getting the piss ripped out of us by Southampton fans and Twitter.

I haven't seen one on Twitter apart from moaning from couple of our own fans. You can find mickey takes if you look for them, but I don't.

If you have to, see post #287 for 'revenge'.

Yes, we particularly enjoyed his style yesterday! More of that please Mr Schelotto.
