If you had read what went before you would know that the conversation was about someones decision to turn to the LibDems and my comment that I would never vote for them. A suggestion was made that it was time to forgive them for trying to eliminate the Albion. That's something that I would never do and I wouldn't expect the people of Liverpool to forgive the Sun either.
1) I have no reason to believe any of the current Lib Dems have an axe to grind with Brighton...or that we even register highly on their radar. So yes I do believe "things would be different now."
2) And the Archer question was ignored because it's a daft hypothetical question. I don't tend to ponder things which will never be in a position to actually happen. But if you want an answer I'd probably politely decline.
I see your point. They're two very different things and I don't feel it's appropriate to link them.
You might not, but I do. To me, what the libs did was even worse as it was a deliberate action to stop us having a ground in the only location possible. The Hillsborough tragedy had far worse consequences but I do believe that nobody set out to deliberately cause them.
It's not about forgiving those who did the wrong or sucking up to them. It's about understanding that they were a small group of people in a long lineage of people. Didn't you stop support BHA when we've had bad management / owners?
They are certainly giving hope to a lot of people.
Different cases altogether. And actually quite insulting to use the tragedy, death and grief of that event to try to score points on here. Have a word with yourself. Shame on you. Shame.
People with short memories
Forward thinking, progressive people.
Nobody suggested forgive the members of LD involved in that. They suggested they are more interested in the entire future of the UK than one period in the history of BHA.
Again, shame on you for trying to shoe horn Hillsborough into your agenda.
Do you have a go at German people for what their forefathers took part in either willingly or under duress? It's your kind of ignorance that has got us into this mess.
TBF he is very good at it ......................
But surely this makes no sense as it wasn't lib dem policy - it was a few individuals with a local NIMBY agenda.
I refer you to my post 33328.
And the main LibDem leadership consistently refused to reign them in, despite our pleas.

Well I am sure that the people of that resolutely remain-voting city would regard the future of the country as being more important than anything to do with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Your comparison is flawed though. Boycotting the Sun is like refusing to visit the Goldstone Retail Park - a solid gesture but not one that materially affects anyone other than those making it. It you genuinely feel that the wellbeing of the country depends on particular policies being adopted then it is ludicrous to turn your back on them because of something people associated with one party did on a local matter 20 years ago.
Mind you, it's not the worst reason I've heard for kicking the country in the nuts lately.
Says the man with an avatar of Farage just surviving an air crash as a 'bitta banter' .......
I do believe that the wellbeing of the country does depend on the policies being adopted, but not by the LibDems. They have earned my lifelong enmity due to their deliberate actions to kill-off our club - and I was a LibDem voter beforehand.
Enmity shouldn't necessarily stop you voting for them.
Or chop off its arms, poke it's eyes out and clobber it round the head, for that matter.
