Have you ever been in the away end or home end if Brighton are away and celebrated a goal when we have scored?I done it many times(even Millwall well almost)I was in the Millwall end(cold blow lane end?)with two other Brighton fans when we got put into our own end for our own safety.Hats off to the old bill that daywho spotted us not celebrating a Millwall goal and sussed us out.I was also in the Leyton Orient end when we beat them 2-1.There fans and stewards back then were fine and excepted us being there with them.Again hats off.There has been other times but i've never been ejected from the ground untill this season at Southampton.There fans relised we were Brighton fans and started to mouth off.When they scored one of there fans shook our hands to rub it in(no problem)When we scored i did the same to that fan but by christ the rest didn't like it.We got thrown out altogether and that has never happened before.Gone are the days when you can invade the other end and get thrown back into your own end without being chucked out altogether.:down:

The other week at Coventry, went to the game on a freebie hospitality package, suited and booted. Was surrounded by Coventry fans other than two of the three other people I was there with, shouted some polite encouragement to our players but my reaction (head in hands) when they scored their goals gave the game away a little.
 


There was around fifty of us in the hospitality at Southampton and we all went up when we scored. The stewards then threatened to throw a group of us out. Not because we cheered, they said that was okay. But, because one of us had a blue and white scarf. So, you can cheer when the away team score but don't wear their colours!

My brother and I were in the home end at Hereford for THAT game because all the Brighton tickets had sold out.....the emotions I went through in that game were almost unbearable, needless to say when RR scored my first reaction was to celebrate but self presevation took over so I tried, very hard, not to show too much.......looking along the line at my fellow 'Hereford' supporters I noticed that there were quite a few doing the same as me, and although I never asked them which team they were supporting (for obvious reasons) I still wonder if my brother and I were not the only Brighton in the Hereford end that day.

That is funny 5 litres, the rule at Coventry was only "no jeans or replica shirts". I saw two other Brighton fans in the area where we were, I spoke with one of them, they just put their scarves on when in their seats. I took the more diplomatic and sensible approach, my away end scarf, it has several colours, one of which is light blue although if I am truthful it is closer to the sky blue of Coventry than that of our home strip.

West Ham last year a group of us sat in the home end. We stayed quiet but some other Brighton fan received a beating when we scored. Put up quite a fight too :lol:
