With our up and down fortunes of the last few seasons, mostly up on the playing side :clap2: , do you think we could be in the Premiership at fortress Withdean within the next two seasons?

Or, have we got to consolidate and be a mid-table "Championship" club, while the ground issue is being sorted out. Or, should Mark McGhee be trying to get us to Cardiff again for another play-off final to raise some much needed finance?

I personally think we should go for it, and prove to all parties that we can get 20,000 people + to matches, and be able to support a Premier League team, i.e. by getting to another Play-off final.

Also, I think it would be brilliant to see Arsenal or Man U. come out of the changing rooms at Withdean, it would surely freak-out their big-name players :lolol:

:albion:

New ground and Premiership here we come!!

Minor problem with your plan is the fact that the current squad is cack.

So you're going for consolidation then :lolol:

You should never say never when it comes to the Albion...we should defenitely go for it (who would have had Greece down to win the Euro champs). Football's a competitive game, what's the point of playing if we're not going to compete to win things? Unrealistic I know, but stranger things have happened.

I'm always optimistic. (Half-full most of the time :drink: )

And, I thought that being an optimist was part of the pre-requiste of being a Brighton & Hove Albion supporter :clap2: :thumbsup:

would be absolutely superb to see henry, kluivert, ronaldo etc wading through the withdean swamp on a wet tuesday night in february, wondering what the f*** they were doing there.

It would be great but stay in the real world lads. We've done bloody well to get this far and the enhoyment for the fans has been fantastic. Lets just hope we can stay in this division cause a few upsets and build for the future.

Get promoted to the Prem, take the cash, spend nothing on players. Get relegated, take the parachute payments. Spend nothing on players. Spend the money on the new stadium at Falmer. Then consolidate in the 1st.

We must be due to play a big team in the cup soon. About 10 years since those Manchester United games and since then not really much. Southampton at home but that was wrecked by events in New York and to be honest that's about it.
