I know someone who grew up as a Liverpool fan but moved to Brighton when he was a teenager and became a Brighton fan, season ticket holder at Withdean and still one at the Amex BUT also still supports Liverpool equally although he can only watch about 5 of their games a season which he fits in when Brighton aren't playing.
I asked him about next season and he said he wants both teams to win their home games against each other.
He is going to be in bits on the last game of the season if they both need a win for something crucial!
So if one team does the double over the other, how will he feel? He is trying to have it both ways and that can never work in the emotionally draining world of football. If ( hypothetically speaking ) both clubs were meeting in a Cup Final or had to meet in the final game of the season to decide the title, which colours would he pin to which mast. Only one team can be winners in that situation.
Supporting BHA takes too much out of me to even contemplate reserving something for another team as well. I would suspect that he holds marginal favouritism for one over the other but would never admit it publicly.
I grew up well away from Sussex and started to follow a top flight side when I was at primary school. When my family moved to Sussex ( I was 8 at the time ) I watched my first live match at the Goldstone and from then on I was hooked. I knew I had got the original support out of my system, when the two clubs met in the 70's and I was fully behind the Albion.
