[Albion] Should i let my 13 year old son wear his Chelsea kit to the game at the Amex?

The only way I can see any justification for it is if a child growing up in Brighton (or any town with a local team) has a parent that supports a team from miles away, but if you grow up in the town/city that has a team your parent supports them it’s an obvious choice for me.
When my son was 4 years old and having first week at school he came home and declared he was going to be a Chelsea fan as his new best friend at school was one. Took him on his first trip to the Amex very shortly after and he was converted during that trip. Now we're season ticket holders and he loves the Albion with a passion that scares me sometimes.

Absolutely, 100%, definitively, NOT. Obviously that's just my opinion though.

Put him up for adoption.

What do they think on Mumsnet?
Personally I'd be dumping him and getting a new child.

He is no son of yours if he supports Chelsea

Just a quiet guy.
You mean 'Big Vern'? What about the Bolnore Masculine Trio?
Lol, I'd have just told him he wasn't. It's just basic morality. My kids support the local team that I support, that's it, there is no other option.
The only exceptions are if you don't live with your child, or you don't support the local team.
Obviously he can't wear his shirt, and he can't cheer a Chelsea goal either. If I see anyone near me in a Chelsea shirt I'm screaming for a steward.

Covert him like I did to my 4yr old son many moons ago. He also supported Chelsea because 2 of his cousins did.
We played football on the front lawn, he was Chelsea and I was Brighton.every game was in Brighton favour, 3 0, 4 1, 5 0 etc ( you get the point ?) Eventually he said to me, can I be Brighton Dad ? So we changed sides, me having to endure the Chelsea defeats.
40 years later he and my grandson are avid supporters of this Club.

The question shouldn’t have to be asked. It’s just No.

Let him wear it. IN THE AWAY END.
Sorry, I know he's only 13 but I would outright refuse. It will not go well and just be embarrassing for all concerned. Sometimes children need to hear the word "no". this is one of those times.
The only way I could see it working is if you were to turn on him yourself and encourage others to join in, to teach him a lesson but I can understand you perhaps not wanting this for your own son.

You have failed as a parent and should have your children taken away and sent to a normalization centre for their improvement and future happiness
If you are in possession of a season ticket this should be handed over to comrade BG

As a subtle sign of support for Chelsea he could fling himself dramatically to the floor every time someone went past him, in Drogba style. Or shout at any player under the age of 21 to say they'll never make it, perhaps during the halftime warm-up.
That is fantastic
