Someone who has followed the club for maybe 50 years
Seen the glory div 1 years and FA cup final - many a rainy Tuesday night at the Priestfield - to the promise that is the Amex.
Now witnessing the demise [on pitch at any rate] of our beloved club and is fast losing interest and falling out of love with the club. Perhaps stopped going to home games, or maybe, non-sussex based fans now reducing away days to nil, 1 or 2 per season.
Someone who was proud to pipe up in a far away place when football was the discussion: "My team is Brighton" who now keeps quiet.
What do we call these folk who are the reverse of the "Johnny Come Lately" - Billy Gone Sadly maybe?
