The petition is a joke due to the amount of fake signatures on it. Have a llok at bexleydave's post a couple of pages back:-

There already is one, but Brighton are aware so expect Steve Parish, Prince Charming, Mr Tumble, The Gravity Whore, Wilf Topknot, Fanny Chmelar, et al to be signing in great numbers in due course:

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

For "Singing section" read "Standing section" - Clearly those who will be located in this seated area will be given carte blanch to stand persistently during the game.

It would appear that the club can dress up their U-Turn with use of the words "Singing section" but at the end of the day all they have done is to accommodate the HF in their demands for a move and don't give two hoots for loyal long-standing season ticket holders some, perhaps most, have sat with family and friends in the block for over 20 years.I really do sympathise with these fans.

But I suppose the hierarchy would say that they have made the decision in the overall interests of the club !

If SP wishes to get either planning permission for new stand or being allowed to take part in a safe standing trial then he will need to tell stewards to enforce

One can only speculate as to why the club never hatched such a 'Masterstroke' of an idea for a central 'Singing section' before the HF decided on their action not to continue their support from Block B and made demands to move to the central area.
