If Eastbourne Borough make the Nationwide League...

[Withdean and I]

would they take support away from Brighton?

Mmmm, difficult one...I actually think that it is naive to think that they wouldn't. I for one was born in Eastbourne and would certainly have some interest even though I have been watching the Albion since I was knee high. I certainly think that the East Sussex based fans would maybe start to venture to Eastbourne sometimes.

What do you think?

 

[BrightonBird]

Not me I'm afraid, but like Crawley, I would look out for them.

I went to watch Borough v Stafford a couple of weeks ago, they tried to sing GOSBTS but it didn't really take off...

More of a Lewes man myself...

i cant see EB making it anyway but Crawley may take a small but insignificant amount away - more so if BHA are playing badly - more likely BHA fans interestd in the other Conference club whether be Crawley or EB will get some support from those that wouldve otherwise been at Withdean but BHA are playing away or they cant get tickets etc. When Crawley played BHA at Goldstone in the FA Cup they had a massive support and i would expect them to average easily around 2000 to 2500 if they made the conference. What with Woking, Aldershot, Barnet, Dag & R there it could be a very interesting league in the South should EB and/or Crawley join them and im sure a few Albion fans would be interested in say Crawley v Aldershot or E Boro v Barnet

Depends on Falmer, I reckon. With hour new stadium, EB will only be of interest as a novelty. I'd rather watch Hailsham Town anyway.

 

[Safeway]

I'm an Eastbourne United fan so it wouldn't bother me.

Nah....glory hunters just looking for an excuse to escape Pikeyville for the day. The east terace was glistening with Ratners jewelry that day!

 

[Van der Gully]

Not much interest for me either, if I can't get a ticket for the Albion and really need to get a footy fix I head for Horsham, wouldn't really consider going to either Crawley or Eastbourne, if anything I would rather go to Worthing or Bognor.

 

[Marshy]

they wont make it so it dosent matter.

Burgess Hill will get there before them.
