Am I the only one that has become completely Disillusioned with what's going on at the Albion? 3 years in a row now our start to a season has been a complete shambles...I'm sick of watching very dull football and I'm sick of seeing our best players leave and being replaced by inferior quality or not being replaced full stop. Furthermore with rumour rife that Sami is really unhappy and has offered his resignation suggests that the club is in turmoil. I have not renewed my season ticket for the first time in many years which grieves me greatly as I love my club, but I'm not prepared to pay another £600 which is a top end price for the championship to watch poor football. You wouldn't pay for fillet steak and accept braising in return would you?

That's pretty much how I see it and not renewed either

Don't wait for me!
We weren't that good last season. Poyet football was overall very good. We're yet to find out how good we are this season, give him a chance!
Yes, I don't think anyone else has mentioned it.

A few points to note:
1. The transfer window does not close until August 31st, and our pattern over the past few seasons has been to leave a lot of our activity until the last minute (Lopez, Orlandi, Vicente etc).
2. Our best players have all been sold for decent money. The philosophy of the club is to not stand in a player or manager's way if a top division club shows an interest. Personally, I think that's the right approach to note.
3. The 'rumour' about Sami being unhappy is just that, it's a rumour.
4. Our 'very dull' football got us once again within a whisker of the Premier League.
5. If you've really decided to not renew your ST based on your reason's stated then you'll not be missed.

That was quite entertaining. Completely bollocks, but still entertaining.

Last season was some of the worst football I have ever seen. However I thought we were consistently good and sometimes excellent under Poyet. At times playing Premiership football. That was because we had players who had played at the higher level and a VERY ambitious manager.
We will never know but imagine if Poyet had been given some money to build on our 12/13 team.
Slowly we have less and less of those players.
The only mistake Bloom made IMO was getting Poyet's replacement very wrong, Garcia and Jones were a disaster for the team/club. Having almost the exact same personnel as Poyet they set the playing style back years. Worryingly one is very much still here.

I suspect this is the subtlest satire we have seen in some time. Highly unlikely to be serious. Bravo!

Didn't go to Gillingham then.... that was without doubt the worst.

Clearly not - check the million other threads dancing around this same subject
It's 2 really isn't it? The end to the season has been our big problem the last two years, eh?
You might be supporting the wrong club, seriously. Our best players will always leave. If you think the football under GP was dull, I shudder to think what you made of Jimmy Case's team.
A rumour isn't RIFE, he hasn't offered his resignation, we aren't in turmoil
Fair play, at least you've done something about it beyond whingeing on an internet message board. Nice one.
What if the braising steak assured me that it was going to turn into Wagyu Beef in around 3 years time? I might then.
You are aware that no one is forcing you to go to football. Sounds like a break might do you good.

You're welcome to your opinion Brian...We scraped into the play offs by a miracle.. Our football was dire! Look at the fact's Brian, we have managed to come from behind twice in 3 seasons! That show's how poor we are. What other clubs with ambition to get promoted sells all their best players and hope to recruit some inferior players a month later and in the mean time play a very weakened team? Yes, Sami is a rumour.. I've watched the Albion since 1977 home and away.. If you think I won't be missed for being honest then you are as deluded as the club and I believe they will feel the full force of the damage that has been done by the amount of season ticket cancellations next season. BTW, it hurts me to write anything derogatory about the club I love but I'm facing facts and relaying my feelings.
What a magnificent post. You're definitely the ONLY person who is disillusioned and decided to express it on NSC. I'm just back from holiday and I've TRAWLED the first ten pages and all I can see is thread after thread of naiive unconfined joy.
And you're absolutely right, we're definitely in utter "turmoil" having played two games and only won one of them. If only we'd started worse than this last season, you'd probably be better placed to temper your bedwetting instincts.
Oh.

Dear OP , How many frigging times do you think we all wanna see the same moaning crap
if you don't wanna be a fan then P*** off , we all know that you newbie fans will come and go, so do it , why the f*** you think we all need to know about it is beyond me. By the way just so you know ,in the entire history of Brighton and Hove Albion, every player that has ever left has been replaced, it has always remained to be seen just how well,..thats the beauty of football my friend ,you have to get on the ride at the beginning and stay with it and just hope that those wonderful good times outweigh those miserable ones!

No we didn't. We scored more points than the other teams. That's how a league works
It wasn't great but dire is a little strong
How often have we lost from winning positions?
I'm not sure this was TB's plan at the AGM. "I know what I'll do, I'll risk my own investment by delivberately sabotaging the team. That'll really piss Brighton1 off
So why now then?
I genuinely hope you change your mind. Look at it again in early September. I implore you.
You do realise we're all in a similar boat. We're all a bit worried and postings like this make it worse. Take TB at his word, he said we will be competitive come the transfer window shutting. If he breaks that promise then we get angry, disillusioned. Chill out a bit.
