[Football] Liverpool Away Fans

[Heath7]

But that happens every game.

We know that our support didn't magically increase six-fold almost overnight. Not every Amex STH was a Withdean regular or a lapsed fan who stopped going to the Goldstone in about 1981. A large number of Amex STHs don't have Brighton as their first club. They go and they support Brighton nearly all of the time, but when we're playing 'their' team they switch allegiance. So every week there are people taking the places of Brighton fans!

It's a good thing. Firstly because over time they may become full Brighton fans (I did), and secondly because if they didn't go, yes there would be loads of room for 'real' Brighton fans, but the ground would be about half-empty.

Do people who watch Brighton regularly and would call them their "2nd" team buy club merch, hats, scarves etc when really they may support Arsenal, Man u etc?
