They are now one league away from the league we almost dropped down into in the very recent past. We could be back in League 2 in a decade, and they could easily do a Crawley!

They will never survive at a higher level than they are at !
Average gate probably about 90 if that.
How will they compete for attendances especially when Albion are at home ?
Don't get me wrong it's great to see another Sussex side doing well but let's be realistic
it will all end in tears at somepoint in time.
Sad but true.

Because next season we will have 2 clubs who will ask the league to sort it out so that they are at home when we are away, Crawley and Brighton City. I believe that now Brighton City are up to conference level they can request that. And if they did a BHA season ticket holder half price entrance when we are playing away to clubs (be it in Premiership or Championship) there will still be around 20000 season ticket holders not attending the away game, throw a couple of BHA youth and DS players into Citys side and they will see more BHA fans turn up even if its just to see how the DS striker is doing banging in 30 a season at City and then coming on here to say Barnes should be shipped off to City and get the wonder kid back
Anyway the police could not cope with all the fans at the Amex and the Wealdstone Raider in the same city at the same time

Good luck to Whitehawk. What they have achieved is fantastic. It would be amazing one day to have 2 league sides in Brighton. Good luck Brighton City!

I remember playing in a five aside league at Stanley Deason. There was a team called Brighton City, I remember a small story in the Argus ( must of been true then ) saying that they choose the name so as to stop the Albion from using the City title. All this happened just after City status was awarded. I f memory serves me well they were Southampton fans.
If any other clubs are thinking of a name change I played for 'Bryan Eunuch' we have disbanded so feel free.

I am bothered about the practical consequences of this name change. We will be forever hearing "brighton" on local radio or TV and thinking its about us, or we've just scored to then find out its Whitehawk the're on about.
When playing sunday league footy some years ago, one of my clubs tried to change their name to City ( as it was run by a City fan ) despite the fact we were not in a City, the word "City" was just being added to the pub name. We were told by the league in no uncertain terms that FA rules prohibit the word "City" being used in club names by 11 a side teams in FA sanctioned leagues where the rest of the title does not contain the name of the actual City they are in. Therefore they cannot under the FA's own rules call themselves "Brighton City" as it has already been pointed out here that Brighton is not a City. I am emailing the FA to point this out.

So, what is the update on this?
Word has it drifting to me from another BSS club is that BHA have objected to Whitehawk's application to change their name on grounds that 'Brighton City' could cause confusion for incidents when say ambulances are rushed to attend an incident, or other such confusions over a perceived name clash. Seems Brighton City is not yet rubber stamped.
Not sure why Whitehawk haven't used this very process of a name change for some publicity with polls or consultations run through the local Argus or some other public competition or vote. Missed a trick a bit it seems to me.

I expect so. Eastbourne Borough still use "The Sports."

Sure it is BHA which has objected, as they were supposed to be on board?
Maybe they've changed their mind of course, or maybe it is some other council/safety body which has these concerns.

It could possibly all those things, so no it's by no means clear BHA have definitely been the ones to have objected.

300-400 at that level (when we are away and they have a couple of BHA loans in) is very different to 90 gates. With decent bankroll behind them they could certainly eclipse Lewis/Eastbourne and stay up in the BSPrem I'd think.

They're not in the BSPrem.
