In 5 years time if you lot still only have attendance figures to crow about over us - I'll be a happy man.
I'm pretty sure there was certain game where the commentators couldn't believe the Brighton "fans" were leaving in droves before the end of such an important match ........ what game was...
Were you at the MCG on "that night" to join in with YNWA ?
(are you getting goosebumps remembering ?)
Tell me when he played so well for England that we should have built a team around him ?
Top tier PL player but no more than that.
All the fuss about SG this w/e outside Liverpool is nothing...
I live in Australia - which many would consider (and is generally) a lovely place.
Millions of people (including myself) battle depression regardless of the environment around you.
Environment can be a contributor but rarely (if ever) the true cause of this illness.
I'd expect Brighton to be getting larger crowds in the Championship - students, new residents (not many people moving to SE25 !) - probably not much difference in the core support though. Not that it really matters.
At this moment in time ? hmmmmmm
In terms of size - there's not much difference between the clubs in truth.
Both could push on with successful top flight spells, both could stagnate\dip without.
I knew what you meant.
I think it's you that hasn't grasped my point. - and why I was LOL.
Anyway, it's true , things can turn (sometimes quickly) in football - it's just been very long "blink of the eye" for you guy's when it comes to Palace.
LOL
So you're the Southampton in that anology ?
:thumbsup: ....oh ok.
True enough - it really has been hell living in Brighton's shadow all these years.
Thats seems a desperate post.
The form GM was in for us that year - he would of been banging them in for any half decent team , if you'd managed to keep him, you'd may well be a Premier League team.
It's true our average gate dropped by 65% from 1979 to 1984.
Your's dropped by 45% in the same period - 1984 being the very season after your "golden era" of 4 years top flight football .
What does that say about your support ?
Or maybe football crowds as a whole were on the decline at that...
