The only BYF I know is the Brighton Yoga Foundation.
Although calling it a day after running two Palace fans out a pub and rocking a few cars is understandable in the light of the collateral damage to the beer.

Your an utter idiot to get wound up by another human being wearing another shirt! Have a laugh, a joke and some banter but you have taken it way to far in your aggressive disgusting language. Get a life!!

I have many a time and got barely any abuse. Growing up in the area as a Brighton fan probably gave me a bit of over confidence. I've seen plenty of people get off at East Croydon in Albion clobber after travelling back up and then stroll to get a bus/tram/train elsewhere.
I used to cover up my short after a game however one day had been to the club shop and hadn't thought of the giant Albion badge on the bag. However got nothing near to abide apart from a Dad with his young son going 'Brighton, eugh, never follow them son' with a smile.
It's a game for goodness sake

I think that would be regarded as sensible parenting on both sides. I've seen Palace shirts in Brighton before. I usually tut and ponder on the cheek of it, then remind myself that it is less affronting than seeing the usual United and Chelsea shirts. At least these folk support what is, or was, their local team. And, as you say, it is just a game.

If you go for a walk on brighton/ hove promenade most days as we do in the summer and you get many people wearing crystal palace regalia. Shirts, track suit tops, jumpers, tee shirts etc etc. so what?
Personally when the game is on between the two of us ( which is few and far between I grant you) then there is banter and fierce rivalry...a day later it's back to normal life. I have many palace fans I regard as good friends and yes, ok, maybe this bloke was wearing the shirt to be a bit antagonistic, but hey.....
I saw one brighton fan get all apoplectic at a game a couple of years ago at a young lad wearing a palace top in the north stand. Yelling abuse in his dad's direction and screaming for a steward. Turned out it was a Barcelona shirt as he had just come back from holiday.

There's a difference between wearing a shirt round town and going to your rivals game, that doesn't involve your team, and deliberately identifying yourself as one of "them". I wonder how long you'd last at a Rangers friendly in a Celtic shirt or a Spurs friendly in an Arsenal one.
Either you get it or you don't.

That's two extreme examples . If I saw a weed at a palace game wearing a top I would just take the piss .

Exactly this. If you are a teenager in your first flush of testosterone and alcohol, it is understandable and, having been a teenager in the 70s, let him is without sin etc. But by the time I got into my early twenties, I had grown up a bit. I guess some take a little longer.

Was cycling on the seafront with my other half a few months back and we passed a parked up RAC van with Palace stickers on the windscreen. Telling t'uther half I wouldn't be a minute, I pulled on the brakes, turned round and cycled back up to the van, where the RAC bloke was chatting to another bloke. In a very serious tone, while pointing at the windscreen I said: 'Excuse me mate, you've got shit on your windscreen.' How we laughed.

Geesh. Aren't Brighton fans above all this aggro, by now?

Quite a few of the Palace staff were actually in the stand at last season's Lewes friendly, invited by a former colleague who was now working for the Rooks.

Hope you are being ironic- but suspect it more likely moronic. I get the feeling you are the sort of person who lives their life through either computer games or big flashy films. The reality of what you are trying to joke about (unless you seriously are advocating the harm of another individual ) is probably beyond your understanding.
Show some respect to a member of the Albion family who lost his life to the type of mindless violence you are joking about.
