Things that were better in the lower leagues?

[Munkfish]

I nearly wrote similar, but then remembered that Burnley, Barnsley, Bolton and Croydon were destinations in this league.

Very true and I guess you get that in all leagues, But in league 2 at the moment you have some real beauts, Aldershot, Bradford, Morcombe, Fleetwood, Gillingham.

Having a queue of 0 (zero) in hospitality for the bar at Withdean

Not at Withdean though

But at least we had chips!

Cheaper tickets. Regular Saturday 3pm game. More of a feeling you were part of the club rather than just a customer. FA Cup 1st Round day. Terraces. Not so many little gobshites going to away games

I expect you miss sucking a flake at half time.

Thats always been the case.

More comedy goals, an extra trophy to play for, 'skint' as a sponsor....

and I was younger.

 

[BensGrandad]

Looking forward to actually getting a new ground built and listening to Harty on the phone in.

All of these

 

[ATFC Seagull]

The idiot brigade looking for trouble rather than to support the team coming once or twice a season, rather than most weeks.

Being able to go into most pubs rather than being herded into certain ones.

Seeing regular faces all the time.

Telling someone you support Brighton and them being genuinely interested, rather just saying "Ah right", as if you had said Liverpool or Chelsea.

Still, the price of success.

 

[Gullys Cats]

Feeling like you belong, that wanted feeling from the players/club/each other...etc and the grounds, some real mish mash character

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Being able to jib into the away end much more easily!

Withdean catering was tons better than the AMEX

You didn't go in the North Stand at Withdean then, I take it. The catering van there was shocking.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

But we did have chips

And bacon rolls.

This is it feeling like we were the chosen few us band of brothers and sisters

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

No international breaks.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

We were.
Obscure opponents in the cups.
Cheaper tickets (but still expensive for the level of football).
I am one of the few who enjoyed the JPT. Dirt cheap tickets and goals.

 

[Giant Seagull]

Going to some proper shit grounds but which were still better than Withdean

Am still 'stunned of BN1' that we didn't sell out that 'one-game-away-from-Wembley' semi final at Withdean against Luton, with tickets at only a tenner or less.
