Brother with Downsyndrome 19:32 - Oct 15 with 8697 viewswestwalesed

Right genuine question here! My family are originally from Brighton, I was born in Carmarthen. My older brother who is 50 has Downs and is a huge seagulls fan. I promised to take him to the Liberty for the home game. What part of the ground would you go in?

Cheers mate I will do that though I suspect he'd rather meet Chris Hughton!!!!! LOL!

I'd be delighted to meet Lee mind! I specifically went down to watch Haverfordwest County play Llanelli the Welsh League Div 1 recently and the bugger wasn't playing!


Fuçk Chris Hughton.

Always one aye! I think you should be seated in a padded cell.... if the club had one available of course ....

What is that comment for? I'm asking if somebody might make use of an area of the stadium designed to accommodate some of our disabled supporters. I was not having a go at anyone.

I think it is a disgrace we have not built one yet and that one still appears to be a very long time off being even properly considered.

Dortmund have an area staffed by mental health professionals and health staff ( I assume they are volunteers ) they have their own area ( about 150 seats / places ) and all disabilities visible and non visible are welcomed.
And they are let in free or at least they did three years back.
We haven't got in to the 90's yet let alone the new century.

How wonderful. Meanwhile people at our club cannot even get basic facilities built which outside companies were willing to help contribute to financially.

Really appreciating the love on this thread!

Just goes to show that true football fans are a decent bunch, unlike the way that non-football fans consider them!


Did you and your brother get to the game in the end Ed ?

If so I hope both you and your brother enjoyed.

Some really nice touching comments by fans on this thread fairplay.

Why not just contact the club or Brighton explain the situation and perhaps there is a disabled seat in the away end they could allocate through Brighton?

I am pretty sure this could be arranged


I ask our own club for a disabled seat last game of season v WBA, id been in hospital 7 months and i was desprate to see a game, even though I was a season ticket holder they said there was nothing they could do.

I then had a frint row ticket off someone on here, when I got to the Liberty a steward seen me struggle and put me in a disabled seat, there was a few to pick from aswell. And this was the club telling me there was nothing they could offer me..what an amazing feeling being back at a football match.


Anyway I hope your brother got taken care of down there!

Do you think you and your brother would have requested to be seated in a sensory room if the club had one available?


You make some great comments at times Dwight and then at other times...

I love my seat in the West Upper, just because we’re not standing on the seats, pointing towards the opposition fans and chanting ‘you’re going to get your fecking heads kicked in’ doesn’t mean to say we are bad supporters.


Especially chanting about Cardiff when the away fans couldn't find Cardiff on a map and couldn't give a toss.
