Can I ask you a genuine question, If we are just here to discuss football is that really so wrong? What is it that gets you so much? if you come back with something like "you're all pikey scum" then forget I asked the question.

absolutely reasonable and fair IMO.
how interesting rhen that we are not permitted to engage to a similar extent on palace boards.


sadly fans on both sides seem unable to maintain a sensible non-abusive dialogue without resorting to insults and downright abuse. although I am sure someone will tell me it is "just banter"

Still amazes me why dickhead palace fans feel the need to register and actively contribute to a Brighton forum. f***ing mongs.

How could any Palace fan top this post ?
Well done sir !

That list is hilarious. You really think Tony Bloom has spent ALL his money on the Albion and is now about £80m in debt? OK then.

Bloom's a billionnaire. I don't pretend to be ITK about pretty much anything on this site, but in this instance I have a pretty good source.

I have also heard this with regards to his wealth, but his is hardly going to shout it from the rooftops. Put it in simple terms for all the palace trolls WE ARE IN SAFER HAND THAN YOU CAN EVER HOPE TO BE ALL THE TIME BLOOM IS IN CHARGE

and the endlessly banned cjd

"endlessly banned cjd"..........really ?

Registered for almost 7 years....two bans, both by El Presidente.....the first of which he did kindly apologise for over-reacting and the 2nd for a mere 3 days. Not exactly "endlessly banned" is it...?

But hey ho...carry on with your insults and mis-information if it makes you feel better.

Whether or not this thread was initially created or sustained by Palace trolling - it is healthy for Albion fans to question where the money comes from. There are numerous examples of clubs where fans did not question hard enough (Palace, Pompey etc).

We all assume the money comes from Bloom as he is the figurehead and does nothing to contradict that view but he has never proved the source of the money (which he is entitled to do).

I have aboslutely no evidence and no reason to believe the following is true - but it is possible that Bloom is not the only individual financing the club, but is just the public figurehead for the funds.

This was a good thread. The dullards Buzzer, Marcus and the endlessly banned cjd have ruined it. Who cares whether the palace fan thinks Bloom's not worth that much? Does it really matter in the scale of things?
I feel sorry for Titanic. The amount of abuse he gets on here is ridiculous.


As you know me clearly and i dont know you feel free to say hello saturday wont you.

And titanic is palace. the only.mod i know to issue infractions to albion fans telling palace fans to go forth and multiply.

Ed I know that in the past you have also questioned TBs wealth and it is a fair questionbearing in mind our history but the argument that the palace troll is sayimg that "he doesnt appear in any rich list" is neither here nor there.

You know as well as i do that the rich list is not worth the paper its printed on.

Oh FFS, did you honestly think my argument was based on a belief that rich lists were accurate and believable?

I mean really?


Not according to the Football Rich List (which I freely admit could be a pile of guesswork)


Jeez...

True.
Even if it did start off with a bit of stirring, it was a reasonable and informative debate, then some in sore need of anger management joined the debate and it quickly descended.

But its been debated to death. So yes move the thread if they cant be bothered to search.

I don't question the fact of his wealth. I am satisfied that he proved it by funding the stadium. I would, though, be interested in knowing where it comes from. And I am as sure as you that most so-called "rich lists" are the work of only moderately talented journalists. But I don't share your apparent view that the Palace fans' input into this discussion has been nothing but trolling.

Hear, hear, LB. I positively enjoy reading contributions on NSC from other clubs' fans. Even, - no, especially - from Palace fans.

I think the fact we do keep NSC relatively open to other viewpoints - unlike so many other clubs' boards - for me somehow reflects our city's famously libertarian values, and shows other fans a touch of much-needed class.

It's hard to fathom why one or two NSC posters appear to need sheltering from football's harsh outside world. Why on earth be so thin-skinned, and risk missing out on what is often enjoyable and thought-provoking debate?

I'm a QPR fan, but have pretty close connections to Brighton.

I come here more than QPR boards, basically because this is better and more enjoyable than my teams forums.

More active, wider range of topics and funnier discussions (I would imagine).

Now that, I agree with. There are many trolls, all over tha place, and while I like the banter and wind ups I dont think I am one of them - but you can decide if you wish. For the record am Palace season ticket holder for years - love the rivalry, love the chat, and if it gets abusive I couldnt care less - after all Im on a rivals board. Seems to all have got a bit abusive hasnt it ? I guess March 17th is fast approaching though... just interested how well you boys have done (financially) recently that is all.

Less cliquey for sure.

i don't spend my life on boards like some people seem to, but when I dip in.. I'm pretty much ignored on QPR boards because no-one knows me.

Whereas here regs seem to interact pretty well with anyone and everyone.

Also the fact it's so busy means the twats on here are massively outnumbered by ordinary posters, whereas on the QPR boards, twats are pretty much all the regular posters!

I've read enough of your crap posts in the last 7 years to know that I find you irritating. Will be in ESL saturday if you're in those parts.

What a very strange thread. I was finding it interesting until it got ruined, first by Titanic getting his knickers in a twist over the wording on a wikipedia post and then by Buzzer and TMLS going off on one at a Palace fan for no reason whatsoever. Compounded by the aforementioned Titanic defending the Palace fan he had previously been having a go at.
