Ever the pessimist Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Still remember one of their forums ridiculing Wednesday fans for walking to home matches. Very bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesowl Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Brighton are a decent club and they deserve the success they are having. Properly run, nice ground, and fans are ok. There’s a lot worse. Touch of the green eyed monster I suspect going on here. Edited January 5, 2020 by crookesowl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than Huddersfield, Reading (worse of the new builds in my opinion), and Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timrud Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The ground is an awful place to get to and from. And at least we don't have to live in Brighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper tinpot Yet Championship has the likes of Wednesday, Forest, West Brom, Leeds etc. Funny old game as they say.

No one from America, China etc is tuning in to watch Brighton and Hove Albion. It was two separate points, they are bringing in a quarter of a billion quid a year and have a worldwide TV audience it was meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not one of them and neither are Brighton and Hove Albion. You're wrong mate. We definitely attract a global audience.

Inspector Lestrade Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Anyone who gets to the Prem deserves praise apart from them cheating lying blackmailing rumblezoids at the far end of the city. Teams like Burnley, Brighton and Bournemouth etc deserve their success and I have no problem with them being there , but I'm sure fans of other teams would prefer to see Leeds, Forest, Derby etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful boring ground for an awful boring club. Their ground is close to the biggest council estate in Brighton. Across the road from Sussex Uni and about 4 miles from the city centre. They are a good club and a lot of my old mates are fans. OK it's a plastic stadium but nobody's perfect. I don't mind Brighton they are in a different league to us so they are largely irrelevant as far as we are concerned. If they were in the same league as us I'd dislike them a bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
