Does the club have an official policy on this?

The ground rules state you should be ejected if in the wrong area of a ground, whether they are followed or not is another thing

I think the clubs policy is "Keep your nut down"

I sold my seat for the Watford game to a Watford fan who hadn't been able to get a ticket in the away end. He doesn't pose much of a problem, however, considering he is deaf and partially blind. Not really sure what he got out of the experience, but I don't think anyone spotted he was a Watford fan. Could have been a bit hairy if he'd done a jig of some kind at half time.

If we go up the the Prem we will have thousands of 'away' fans in the home ends.

I was in the away end for the Cov game. Got jumped on by Cov mates when they equalised and had to walk to the bar when vincelot scored.

The policy is like having mincers in the military - if they don't dress up in the wrong clobber and go advertising their persuasion, they will be tolerated.
They won't be required to dance and sing when The Albion score, but they aren't welcome to do same if their team manage to.

Why not? I have a season ticket next to two Chelsea fans and one Tottenham. I know loads of people who have season tickets who wouldn't class themselves as a Brighton supporter.

I've often been in the home end as an away fan when meeting up with friends and family who support other clubs - Villa, Spurs, Reading, West Ham, Cambridge, Cardiff - and it hasn't been a problem although a very different experience.
The problems come if you stick out and start making a fool of yourself, thankfully I've kept my mouth shut.

Fair enough. Although I know one bloke who isn't a Brighton fan who goes, all the people I've spoken to around me are Brighton through and through and all the others I know who go are too. I thought 'thousands' was way off but maybe I'm wrong?

Can't understand why anyone would go in the wrong end if they could get in the right end.
If you are going with mates who support the other team then say goodbye before kick off and meet up again after the game, simple.

It's all about how people behave, an example (albeit from the FS) a Liverppol fan and his kid, openly displayed their colours and stood up and gave Gerrard a reception, but when they scored they were a lot more respectful and didn't rub any noses in it, therefore no probs.
When I was in the Holmsdale end a few Palace lads knew there was "a weed" in the end, when we scored I kept my thoughts to myself, at the end of the match a few shook my hand and appreciated the fact I had "respected the end"

I spent most of the second half trying to remove a particullaly stubbon winnett from my brown eye, so you should really be asking him that question
I got to Cold Blow Lane just before kick off a few years back and went in the wrong side in my haste, ended up surrounded by the Millwall apemen who could barely speak English, they scored and I applauded politely, then I think it was Codner, who then struck a great equalizer off the bar and even a few of them gave it a clap while I applauded politely again. Then some homer climbed the fence and tried to kick Robinson and it erupted again around me, like being a cage of gorillas.
