You either p1ss off supporters moving them out of their seats in central blocks and possibly cause the whole lower tier to stand, which just isn’t on right now for several reasons. This obviously isn’t feasible until the new stand is finished.

The HF could try and take the top half of block B. I doubt they’d try it.

does anybody know if they are going to stop attending? I feel a bit sorry for them if so. it must be/have been the biggest part of most of their lives.

EDIT: SEE posts saying they'll try to move. that'll be dramatic

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

From what I've heard some of the teenager groups within HF have tried very hard to intimidate and provoke fellow fans.
Those who want to bend over backwards to accomodate them are pretty dopey really. I mean why? Because they've got a big flag and are prepared to miss lots of the game because they are facing the wrong way? Oh, I forgot, for a few seasons they sang quite loud.
Please tell me if they have done any more than that. If so I must have missed something.
As said before, if there are sensible reasons for quitting the Holmesdale come out and say so like a grown up. If its actually a good reason they might even recieve a bit of support from the real fans (sorry, the ones that are not abandoning the stand on a matchday for some petty childish tantrum)

Just heard about this. As a distant supporter, I'd thought the HF was a source of pride for the club & fans. Surprised to hear there were dissenting voices.
Providing the HF with a better, more prominent location (which they surely deserve) shouldn't be by displacing other season ticket holders. Maybe they were, but, if not, the HF should have been offered a new place within the stadium redevelopment plans. Especially a place earmarked for safe standing when it's permitted (as it surely will be).
Didn't find any mention of this in the planning docs. I've contacted the club to check what their stance is on this. Doubt I'll get a meaningful answer.

And on what basis would anyone do that?

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!
