We've come a long way, but I have to disagree with him there.

I thought they meant The Big Board?
Nah, I think it's playing better football than everyone else that helped.
To be fair to the man he was one of the only men at the Sweet F.A. who came out and highlighted why the fans were invading pitches and getting a game abandoned. He had to be diplomatic but he sat down with all the main contagonists to move things on.

Bournemouth had the points deduction that nearly put them out of the league

Swansea, Wigan, Hull, Cardiff, Bournemouth have all been right down there and close to the brink, then reached the top flight. Burnley also had a close shave, avoiding relegation to the conference on the last day of the season in late 80s.
What none of those clubs had to contend with was being evicted from their home and at a point where we lower in the league than any time in our history. Doubling that with the Hereford game means that we have recovered more than the others - both league status and regaining a proper home.

Having just watched the clip you can tell that he genuinely meant everything he said there and that we should be held up as an example of what a club on the brink can achieve if the right people and supporters believe passionately about saving their club and then running it properly.

What's with the "we"?
I know you used to be a Brighton fan but all you ever seem to do recently is take every opportunity to post snide remarks about the club. Now we're on our way you're changing your tune, bit sycophantic like.
Most people I run into who want to talk football either think we are some div 3 side with a 10K capacity with no roof, or have been following us avidly. Fortunately the latter are the minority. The less people know about us the better, in my book.

I think it's nice when informed commentators have some good words to say about our journey.
I am also weary of all the football know-ers suddenly jumping on our fairytale. F... off and get your own! These sort of fairytales require you to live through some dark, dark moments with some occasional small victories, back and forth, taking one small step at a time.

Going into the final day of the 2002-03 Division Three campaign, Swansea were in serious danger of being relegated to the Conference (two teams went down) - Division Three April 29 2003
As it transpired, Exeter City won their final fixture meaning that Swansea would have been relegated, if they hadn't themselves beaten Hull City 4-2. So, whilst their last day opponents were not another team in danger of being relegated, they certainly had a make-or-break last day nail-biter [they had lost to Exeter City 1-0 just two games before those final fixtures].
