Like us, they have nearly always been an utterly dreadful side as well. Would be interesting to see both them and us with a top half top flight side and see what could be achieved.
I was a STH back at the soldstone for years but that is not what makes me care, its family, its Sussex, its the Albion. You are a fan I'm sure, more than welcome and hope you enjoy the Albion as your adopted team, but dont move to Sussex and then start preaching to us proper Sussex folk, because...
i care about england but hardly ever see them at wembley, but seriously why do you care, the institution of bha has little to do with who you are, you just moved to sussex.. thats not to say you are not welcome
i really dont get how you care about the albion to be honest, i do as it goes back generations, but well what are the albion to do with you? ive moved away from sussex and watch all sorts of clubs, but they are not my club roots or heritage.
I was still very young at the time, although I did start watching brighton before 1979.. No I only started watching other clubs when I moved there, you would be surprised about the amount of clubs I have watched. Hence I'm pretty good at comparing clubs on a like with like basis. No idea what...
That is a joke right?
Norwich - played in Europe and top flight umpteen times, and cant remember last time they were in the 3rd or 4th divisions
Newcastle - as above
Sunderland - Won the FA Cup and played in top flight umpteen times
Man City .. seriously.. they still cant fill their ground
But...
They get very upset that they smaller gates than us and even more upset when someone (not me) pointed out that when in the same division, on the head to head games Brighton very often did get bigger gates than them, despite them being more successful. They also love their away support, but seem...
There was of course life before the "football league" there was a split league, football league, and southern league, where clubs like Brighton, QPR, Palace and l;ots of other names played. Also you quote pointless stat without context. Playing in what divisions, and for each division we played...
You know that is pointless to raise so why raise it? Arsenal were getting at times 18000 in those days as well. Name a club as unsuccessful as Brighton who can sneeze and be the 11th best supported club in the country despite playing second tier football as Brighton were last season and the...
The ST sales surpassed your expectations, not mine. You still miss ghe point, not many clubs even back in the div 3 south days could get 30000 gates for lower league football (not often but they could). This club has under achieved massively in the last 100 years. Never having a top half of the...
As a matter of interest, last season when playing second tier football we were what best supported club in the country..? When will we have a team to match the support?
This season so far, not last season, but I will take that, 18th best supported club in the country despite fighting a relegation battle in the second tier. Bloody lucky are BHA with its support. As a comparison, the season palace got promoted to the top flight their gates started out at between...
Really, name the others with average gates over last couple of seasons? Also name another side with such a lack of success who can show the support levels of the Albion, both now and in the 70s, through to the 3rd div south days. I know you strangely dont like the point but Brightons support is...
Brighton's support goes under the national radar because the team for the last 100 years has achieved nothing and been between almost average to absolutely terrible, playing lower league football for all but 3 seasons. BHA are the 11th best supported club in the country despite this and we are...
