A good piece by Le Saux in today's Guardian about getting homophobia out of football - https://www.theguardian.com/comment...tball-homophobic-abuse-pitch-fans-gay-players
The only shame is the wording of a para about the Albion:
“We just have to work harder, to create better education, less tolerance of intolerance, and make sure these people get exposed. That’s already happening – just look at the shift at Brighton and Hove Albion, where homophobic abuse used to be commonplace, but has been effectively driven out of the stands.”
I assume Le Saux is referring to the efforts made by the club and authorities to stop homophobic chanting by away fans visiting the Amex, but the wording of the piece could leave others to think that we had our own homophobic crowd element which needed dealing with (which to my knowledge, wasn't the case).
