In the same way some male posters work there way along photos passing judgement on the doability of the subjects, can one of our female throng give their binary verdict on these lovely fellas? Edna? First one on the left yes/no?

Not Luton! Thank God
I'm not convinced. You can use copyrighted work for personal use, and without commercial gain, reasonably freely. Trademarks are a bit different. But then not everything can be protected by a trademark. It's an interesting question though. Any intellectual property experts out there? The club badge is certainly copyrighted, but is it trademarked?

Yep - Intellectual Property Office - Results but doesn't look very uptodate

you say this as if its impossible to be in the EDL and be a brighton fan at the same time? im not saying i agree with them using the badge on an EDL flag, but why do you put the word fan in inverted commas? do you think that every proper brighton fan has the same oppinion as you? and if they dont, then they're not a fan? youre the type of person on here talkin about the narrow mindedness of people waving the EDL flag and so on, but how narrow minded is what youve just said...

Call it narrow minded if you like, but I (and I'm sure the vast majority of Albion fans feel the same) do not want these neanderthal low life thugs to be associated in any way whatsoever with our great football club.

Pretty embarrassing, but I'm not sure exactly what the club can do, be interesting to see. Bit like when that horrible bint turned up to pay tribute to killer Raoul Moat wearing a Chelsea shirt. I'm sure they weren't too chuffed about that either.

Curious. I wonder what they can do, apart from issue a strongly worded condemnation on their official site?

If identified, they can certainly withdraw their season tickets / ban them from the ground. They have absolutely right of refusal.

This obviously will be no huge issue for those of them who are actually NOT Albion fans anyway.

Couldn't care less if they are fans of Albion or not. What they shouldn't do, however, it is to drag the Albion into a political protest.

Good. I don't want the club to be associated with trendy middle class lefties and pseudo anarchists who inflict dreadful music on long suffering fans at home games.
Bless. Is your flounce based on the fact that these EDL goons look *exactly* like their stereo types, which is what you apologists usually hate to admit? You know, they look stupid, thick-necked, and tattooed up, "pwoper nawty", aggressive and white, anglo saxon.

Extremist political views at football are not acceptable in my book. It's all about kicking a little ball with football boots, not about jackboot politics. Sad that they have associated themselves with the Albion. The Albion and a vast majority of it's fans most certainly do not associate themselves with the EDL.

To be honest I don't think the vast majority of Albion fans give two hoots about the EDL, the UAF, the Official Monster Raving Loony Party or right on middle class anarchists. They do care about the club, its results and the passion behind it. Call me old fashioned I go to the Albion to support my football team. I'm also (at 55) far too ancient to exhibit any macho bravado, however I still believe that I can drink any clique members under the table, although I prefer gin and tonic or an agreeable merlot to ale these days. But that's a stereotypical "righty" (civilized division) for you.

But please no radical poetry or ageing punk rock music to try and give us an image of being a street cred club. That is sooooooooooooo sad!
