These days this seems to be stated, regularly, as an inarguable fact. Is it true or is it a possible exaggeration?
DK said he had 2 million lined up to invest in the team, regardless of what happened. Not personally totally convinced about that in hindsight tbh.
Doncaster fell out of the league the following season and look how they have done since with a much smaller fanbase than we had or have.
Would Gillingham have fallen through? We had piss poor crowds there anyway, not much more than 2 k most games
Would those of you who went to Gillingham have stopped going if we'd gone non league?
Would coming back to Brighton been anymore difficult if we had been a non league team
I don't know the answers to the above but I often think about them.
In short maybe those of you more in the know could clarify why we would have gone bust if we'd fallen out of the league? Life would almost certainly have been even more difficult I accept but wages would possibly have been lower and I doubt that the crowds would have been much smaller.
