I do envy your crowds though , your the best supported club outside the top flight !
Outside of the top flight!! What about inside the top flight? Tinpot outfits like Norwich City, Fulham and Stoke would give Delia, Al Fayed and Nick Hancock respectively for our crowds, as Gary Chivers sanely points out in this recent BBC interview:
Former Brighton defender Gary Chivers, who played for the Albion between 1988 and 1993, says that chairman Tony Bloom's desire to see the club improve gradually rather than go all-out for promotion to the top flight is the right approach.
"The chairman has backed the club to the hilt," Chivers said.
"He's done it in such a good way and has dealt with all the politics brilliantly.
"Maybe we're not moving fast enough for Gus. It may be a lack of communication between the pair of them.
"If Gus feels he needs to move on where is he going to go to?
"The only place is the Premier League and some of those clubs are not as big as Brighton & Hove Albion.
