Totally agree , don’t understand any Brighton fan who does not want to play in Europe

I can’t think of a good reason not to qualify for CL. It allows us to concentrate on the League as winning CL is another route to Europe and arguably the easiest
Obviously.

Plus, you know, we’ve never won anything of note.
Do I want us to qualify for a competition which offers a reasonable chance of us winning trophy, and a European one at that?
Nah, I'll pass thanks.

Wow! That is starting to sound like the entitlement of City et al!
I have little to no interest in the Europa conference league and I very much hope we don’t qualify for it. It’s a tin pot tournament that shouldn’t even really exist as a competition.
Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed the Europa league last season but all I want is a good tilt at winning a domestic trophy now. That’s all I care about now as a Brighton fan. I’ve watched us in 92 grounds in all 4 divisions so that day at Wembley is all I hope for.
If I want a trip to Europe or to watch football I’ll go online and book it. We don’t need to play in Europe for that to happen.

This . . . . The season is a transition, All things considered it's been a good one.
the squad and manager will be ready for a great season come August . . . .
A chance to watch Brighton and Hove Albion play in Europe for only the second time in their history.
Sign me up.
I think it is unlkely, effectively 1.5 points behind Bournemouth due to goal difference but a good win next week could change things.

I cannot see how any Brighton fan doesn't want us to qualify for a European competition. Surely a conference league place is better than nothing at all?
It's going to be tough to even get 8th but if we do I'll be delighted (providing you know who don't win the cup).

Absolutely. Although no chance of qualifying. That I’ve been certain of since ‘that’ week, if not before to be fair.

I honestly don’t understand a mindset that thinks the Conference League is not good enough for us and therefore they would rather we didn’t qualify.
It’s still Europe fhs. It would be great fun for thousands of Brighton fans who actually enjoy seeing us play on the Continent, have a few mini-holidays, experience of non-English fan culture/bars etc, camaraderie with fellow travellers …
As for the squad, a bit of kudos, exposure to a potential wider fan base and of course UEFA prize money
So far, Chelsea have secured about €7m for reaching the semi-finals. That fee would double if they win.
Winner: €7m (£5.90m)
Runner-up: €4m (£3.37m)
Semi-finalists: €2.5m (£2.11m)
Quarter-finalists: €1.3m (£1.10m)
Round of 16: €800,000 (£674,135)
Reaching knockout round play-off: €200,000 (£168,533)
League-phase wins: €400,000 (£337,067)
League-phase draws: €133,000 (£112,075)
AND as @Frutos said, the only likely route we would ever have to qualify for the Champions League.

Oh FFS, man !! Of course I want to qualify for it !!! Its Europe.... It's potentially winnable.... it'll be an adventure .... why would we want anything else?? What is the point if thats the attitude?
I dont think it'll happen now , but Im VERY disappointed if thats the case.

The fact this is even a thread is hilarious. Take a good look at yourselves 
Not to worry, I can guarantee that us qualifying for any sort of European competition will make zero difference to the chances of us winning the league.

F*ck me, what has it come to that someone has it in them to question the height of where we finish in the league. I hate this saying but ‘the games gone’.
Hell, yes, another amazing achievement

Out of all the competitions we can potentially play in as a PL team, it is the one we have the best chance of winning
