Since my post I've been thinking about this 'Pink' thing. If we could co-ordinate it right, then we could get some real positive press out of this one and aid a good cause.
It would be a laugh because Brighton are really touchy about their 'gay-boy' tag, but if we all did it for something like breast cancer (the pink charity) then we could get some positive press for the club and all have a good day to boot.
Greetings. Brighton fan here, still buzzing.
I think the idea of a co-ordinated charity 'pink day' at the new stadium is absolutely brilliant. One thing we are NOT is touchy about our 'gay' status, and if it could be sorted, I see no reason why we couldn't join in.
Just as a catch-up...
The away end allocation is a smite over 2,500 (about 3,300 for Cup matches).
The away end concourse is to be decorated / illuminated in the colours of the away team (sky blue in your case obviously), together with imagery of past heroes of that club (Ernie Hunt, Keith Houchen etc). However, if you're organising a pink day...
For real ale drinkers, as well as the gassy lager (no, ta), two local brews (Harvey's, Dark Star) will be on sale at the ground, plus an ale from the area where the away team is visiting.
All seats are padded - standard seats are the same spec as the luxury seats at the Olympic stadium. Well, this is Brighton...
Oh, and we definitely WON'T be having that god-awful music after scoring a goal.
Is this football as we know it...? That's another debate. Whatever, looking forward to seeing you down here next season.
Cheers, Al
