I would 100% buy one too. My business partner is a Palace fan and I'd put it up in our office.

I went into business with a Leeds fan and the first time we played each other we had a £10 bet. Within a few years both our office walls had a number of framed £10 notes on them, the framing costing more than the note in the end :wink:

I think there’s still an element of fans who live down here, have Albion STs and whose second team is Brighton. So dad is a Chelsea, Liverpool, city, Arsenal, Man U, Spurs fan and sonny has grown up with that pressure but feels they should support us. I was surprised by the number of young children with city scarves last night. Are we going back to the bad old days where people have a “top” club and support their local team??
At the FA Cup semi-final I was in a queue inside for some vastly overpriced confectionary and a Brighton fan was giving a hard time to a guy in a half and half scarf whose cheery answer "I support both so it's win-win whatever happens" was perhaps honest, but not really the most tactful.

Silly old bat
I bought one in Portugal from an expat(immigrant) when we played a pre-season friendly against Olhao. It was a souvenir.
 






I've got one, which was from the Germany 1-5 England game in Munich in 2001. I was in the german end, and dont support england at all to be honest with you - but walking out with the pissed off germans i went past a tat stall, and they had a big pile of those scarves being bunged out for about 10DM, no german even vaguely interested of course - thought it'd make for an 'interesting' souvenir.
It currently sits in a bag in the bottom of my wardrobe and i havtn seen it in a couple of years :p

Swindon, but used to be Manila
I’ve given up caring about them, the boy has bought an official Ajax one as a souvenir of his travels. Me and the Mrs bought two AEK scarves from outside the Metro station not only as a souvenir but as a gesture of peace as she was in block 8 and we were drinking pre match in home fans bars. The geezer changed us €7 for the pair (I wonder how much he’d charge the locals)

I’m yet to see a Brighton/Palace one but if I did I’d probably buy one (yes I’m aware I’m encouraging the sale) on the basis that it’s probably one of the most ridiculous things on the planet.

I’d ban anyone wearing one from entry personally

I don't get it, although, in the olden days penants were a thing . . . I'd rather see those . . . If visiting clubs offered them, I'd have a few . .

And they're just the right size for wiping an old dogs arse . . . . Palace, Chelsea, Arse, spuds, Villa, lots spring to mind.

maybe they could do half and half shirts . . . . . Not sure a Palace Brighton one would work . . . . You could get stabbed differently from opposite sides 😂

Still got my fairly naff poor quality 1983 Cup Final scarf and would have bought a half and half if they had existed. Less bothered than some!

saw a lot of quite young kids with them Thursday evening after the game, most seemed to be with City supporting parents- souviners from their big game perhaps? Not so many Brighton fans with them on though
