The point was that Brighton are bottom six material every year so are not going to be top of anyone’s list of PL clubs they want to play for, more like bottom. Either we keep the player, or get a decent fee for them as we’re under no pressure to sell. Win-win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 4, 2020 Don't bite. Have a bit of a laugh at it. its meaningless unless you react. He follows his club and we follow ours. I expect some Leeds and maybe Ipswich will be on at some time. Just let them have their mickey take. Its only a matter of time for many to e in the same position as us right now. In fact, three more next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all been said, it'll be your turn another season - quite likely it will be us taking your place when you go down. It's all in cycles - and our club will not suffer in the way other clubs suffer when they get relegated with their big money players - Stoke, Middsbro, Huddersfield, all grovelling at the bottom of the championship after their one or two seasons in the sun, wondering where it all went wrong when they spent all that money....... Not sure what your motives are, but I would rather think you are the exception rather than the rule - that Brighton supporters are generally a good bunch and you are one of the few exceptions. Enjoy next season trying to avoid te drop again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiery Zac 1,065 Posted July 5, 2020 Of all the away fans I’ve met in the city on the way to a game (and no matter how many seats there are, I wouldn’t swap Carrow Rd for the bang average Amex), a Brighton fan before the 3-3 a few years ago was by far the nicest away fan I’ve ever met. We walked from Tombland to the ground having a great chat about both clubs, their chances for that season and just life in general. You (whatever your name is) are clearly not that man and are starting to tarnish my memory of that day, so please do us all a favour and **** off. Though please do return when your time in the PL is up. It’s inevitable and will be round sooner than you hope and think 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Il Pirata 249 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Brighton have done well, you can't argue with that. They decided to sack Hughton after he kept them up - and received plenty of criticism. But it was a very savvy move, and clearly they saw similarities when Hughton was with us. They could see his brand of football wasn't sustainable long term, and probably avoided relegation by getting rid of him for Potter this season. Graham Potter was becoming very highly rated, so they moved at a time when they knew they could get him. You have to admit, they are ambitious and proactive with there approach. I personally can see Brighton improving again and having more success before any downturn in fortunes. Fair play to them, a decent example of how it can be done. I think they're very well run.

I mean no one would really care about them going.. they are a bit Wigan of the South really..✌️👊🤟 The trouble with people like you who i often correct and educate, don't know much about football/geography outside of Norfolk. How many clubs including Wigan you highlighted that are currently in the Championship can consistently have attendances of 25k and upwards ? Even your so called fallen big clubs like Forest and Wednesday cannot get anywhere near our gates. When we were in the Championship we even beat Leeds every season. Only Newcastle and Villa have topped us. I will also educate you on populations. The conurbation of both east and west Sussex is around 1.4 million. With only one noddy professional club like Crawley in Sussex. That's a lot of people to tap into. The fact is the Amex is to small for us. With London on our doorstep, clubs like Arsenal, Spurs etc could easily bring down 10k but our away end only holds 2.5k We have an 8k waiting list and growing. Realistically we could fill a 45k stadium 75% of the time in the Premier league. It's clubs like yourselves and Burnley who have zero pulling power and where you will see empty seats. The potential for my club is huge, most people outside of Norfolk can see this. Complete opposite to you lot. Your chairman found some loose change down the back of a friends sofa and used that for transfer fees.. And you wonder why other fans laugh at your club ?

The point wasn’t about the potential of how many you can get into the ground. You’ve got an 8k waiting list, good for you but who cares, it’s not gate receipts that PL clubs rely on, its staying in the league. As poor as our transfer activity was, we will be ok going down due to the structure setup. We have no other way or operating as we don’t have a mega rich owner bankrolling us through some hefty transfer fees. You’ve picked a weird argument as we also have fantastic attendances and could easily increase our capacity and still sell out each week. Though saying that, it’s weird you’re on another teams forum in the first place. What issue do you have with us? You’ve shown you don’t enough about us to have a reasoned debate and you clearly just want to pick a fight anyway. So, as I said, you have at least one fantastic supporter and to him and others like him I wish Brighton all the best. To you I say enjoy the good times while they last (if you count scrapping for survival as ‘good’) because it won’t be forever and then the financial worries will be back. Now please leave us alone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 5, 2020 I still laugh when I think about the time the Brighton forum was celebrating the signing of Alex Pritchard.

But then Pritchard got a waaaay better offer 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
