Still, we were consistent, the one chorus of SBtS went off at the usual tempo.
I agree though, strange bunch of away support today.

[Albion] Away atmosphere
- Thread starter Guinness Boy
- Start date
So many away game regulars didn’t go today, despite a decent Sunday KO time.
Surprised. People rationalising their football finances after Rome?

Shocking. I knew you’d be there and provide an honest answer.
Really should be a long ban for passing on to opposition fans, 1901 or not.
It already is a level playing field.
1901 members have to put a name on their ticket and are subject to the same rules as everyone else…. The points system ensures there are no longer any advantage, and you have to put the hard yards in points wise.
I know of at least seven 1901 supporters from my lounge on 450 plus points who go to practically every away game.
1901 are subject to exactly the same rules as everyone else when it comes to passing tickets to opposition supporters. If you feel strongly enough report the seat numbers.
Incredibly quiet without a single mention of RDZ.
Easter weekend did it for us.
My wife is has been very tolerant, with our excursions abroad, and just have to be fair sometimes
Just for some of the (what feels like) anti-1901ers, I didn’t sell my tickets on either
Back for Brentford and Burnley

Fair enough.
This is the issue with people shoving others out of their seats, “sitting anywhere” or even agreements among mates to move around a bit - you can’t rely on the row and seats.
Liverpool stewards should have slung them out. Disgraceful they didn’t.
Agree.
The sitting anywhere is really irritating.
They could have been players comp seats as well….
Re - 1901 membership, we can invite opposition supporters to home games (but only in the 1901 area), but the said supporter is expected to behave respectfully.
If we buy tickets anywhere else in the ground they must be Brighton fans, the same applies to away games….. (see Wembley last season).

I don’t think I was too aggressive haha, but they were southerners. Just find it strange you’d travel all the way up to stand in the opposite end, when you could support a local club which you have a genuine connection, anyway each to their own.

Agree, a lot of regulars I know skipped, my usual group of 10 or so, was reduced to 4.

All I heard was the extremely dull Alllbbiooon, in response to the equally dull Liivveerrppooool. Time to ditch this fvcking dirge with something that inspires the players.

Our so called 'Ultras' group that create the atmosphere have managed to come up with about 6 songs in 13 years.
Too many people going to away games this season in a hunt for Europa priority points.
Terrible time for football (Sunday lunch) and a shit show on the trains so less pissed up fans singing.
At home, if you invited eg an Arsenal fan and they vociferously celebrated their goal/s, is that considered okay? Our of interest.

Don’t worry I’ll be more pissed up on Wednesday, normal service resumed.
I thought that might be the case. Possibly Albion members who just go to two Albion games per season. An opportunity not to miss. About 15 years I thought I’d look at League Cup Final tickets on the secondary market, one time was Cardiff v Liverpool. Basically next to impossible. On Gumtree and some slick looking ticket websites they were ‘available’ at many multiple £100’s per ticket, but I smelt scams. You’d meet someone outside after paying in full weeks before …. yeah right.
For the cost of an Albion membership, a train fare and two cheap tickets, Manure, Pool and City fans in Sussex get to their club in the flesh twice a season minimum.
Ish…..
We had an animated scouser behind us in the FA cup last season, every time they went close, he was on his feet.
Basically, he was told to calm down (and shut the feck up!!!
).Realistically, you know that someone is going to spontaneously celebrate if a goal is scored, so you have to suck it up. If they then continue it and it becomes disrespectful (a bit in your face) then that is when someone would/should intervene.
I had a West Ham friend come along this season, and having sat with her head in her hands for the previous two years, they went and won! Of course she shouted when they scored, but then made that stupid cross armed salute, which really irked one of my friends, and he told her off…
Personally, I thought he was more out of order than she was…. She’s 65 and was enjoying a rare victory against us…. Everything calmed down afterwards.
Have to say the outburst against Hooper at Fulham was very impressive

Not sure about this year but certainly last year it went to Albion+ Members as my neighbour got a ticket and he's a member. Most away games outside London and Bournemouth go to Members.
