Yes they have form. They love punishing their own supporters - for very marginal reasons. They get giddy at the prospect. Funny you mention the Ulloa goal at forest. A fan got thrown out at that match - deemed to be too drunk, nothing else. Club ban for 10 home games! Been happening for years

They should publish the name of the individual, the evidence they have , CCTV / eye witness statements etc and then folks could appeal if they weren't happy. In fact if you took the club to court that's exactly what would happen. Wonder why no one does it?

Because you simply can't win. Clubs can do what they want, you've no chance. If they decide they don't want you going to games then that's it. Sounds really weird/unlikely but if you're unlucky enough to experience it then it becomes sadly clear. FSA have many examples (not just albion)

It's interesting how people take on information differently.
I'd summarise the email as "Have as much fun as you like, just don't act like a bellend at the expense of other Brighton fans."

jasbha.bsky.social•72 days ago

That could be the basic message, but the delivery is different. It's more sinister and if you know of certain experiences with them then it resonates more. It's clumsy and unnnecessary.

bhafc-john-les.bsky.social•72 days ago

That's my point though. It's your interpretation of the delivery that's different. To say a club email is sinister, feels really odd to me.
I agree it may be a little clumsy, but clearly not unnecessary as enough other fans have complained about the behaviour.

jasbha.bsky.social•72 days ago

Fair enough. Clumsy to one, sinister to another that has knowledge of a very poor experience behind such a message. We're both saying the same i think. Just different references perhaps.

bhafc-john-les.bsky.social•71 days ago

Perhaps yeah. I agreed with your use of clumsy, it wasn't my choice of word.

Without understanding your frame of reference, it's difficult for me to emphasise more with your position. But understand you probably don't want to share it online, as you've not done so. With good reason, I'm sure.
