[Albion] Renewing for Next Season ??
- Thread starter Charlies Shinpad
- Start date
Liking chatting and people, I’ve instigated the occasional Mill Road park n ride chat over the years, as the bendibus throws people violently around.
But everyone seems quiet and physically uncomfortable.
Coming back from the Burnley game, my iphone warned me that NSC had been compromised!!!! My guess is that someone sitting there, probably some techie brat, had used the bus company open wifi to try and gain access to phones where predictably some folk were using NSC.

You needed to drink copious amounts when we were at Gillingham. The only good thing about those days was being able to park right outside the stadium, fecked the drinking though.
Oh and Gary Hart, Rod Thomas and Jeff Minton...on a good day. Not forgetting Richie “the bear” Barker’s first goal for us

Really? We needs fans but if moving from EPL to the championship means you don’t renew then...

Not sure what you'd expected to have happened when we have gone from a big fish in a small pond to being a small fish in a big pond so realistically, that was always going to be the case. not sure why anyone would think differently tbh
Things take time to build, the squad would have to go through a lot of changes, which will take a lot of time as you have to build upon what you already have. Other clubs who were promoted have had to drop back down and try to get back up again (sometimes several times) in order to build a squad that will hold it's own at this level, even if only for several seasons (ie, Palace, Southampton, Newcastle, West Brom, Wolves, Norwich, etc...) and most teams have had a lot longer than us to develop their squad to compete the way that you seemingly want us to be able to (by being more entertaining)
Yet we seem to have some who follow this club who want instant success and can't seem to understand that there is a massive difference in class of opposition between the Championship and the PL, so to expect the same level of attacking, entertaining football at this new level this soon after we've finally made it, is unrealistic
If we were to go down (btw - i'm confident we can stay up) isn't it better to enjoy this for what it is now, than be miserable and defeatist about it, because who is to say that we will ever reach this level again in our lifetime (ie you don't know you've had a good thing going until it's too late and it's gone) We are playing in one of the top divisions in the world, we are playing against some of the best players in the world and are holding our own (i know we are on a bad run, but it's likely to happen in this league with the way fixtures can work out, and we now have a lot more winnable games coming up against teams that do not have the same level of threat as the ones we have been playing so plenty of opportunity to get those points we need)

probably the ones who,like me, make a 200+mile round trip for games, the thought of midweek games in the Championship might swing it for me.....#notallsupportersliveinBrighton/Sussex !

I have been a season ticket holder at the Goldstone, Withdean and now the AMEX and while i’m frustrated with our current performances, league position and travelling to many away games only to see us get dicked, there is a lot to be said for the enjoyment you get from being in the Championship if we were to go down - so not renewing is out of the question ! I’ll be there next season regardless but if we do go down then i’m certain i’ll enjoy a lot more successful away days and if it turns into a promotion campaign then all those plastics that haven’t renewed will suddenly be clambering for tickets again !

That will be me and if we do go into the Championship we will be on Sky every other weekday but Saturday so I will keep the faith if it happens but if we stay there a further year I will bin the ST
