It was the unknown club from the provinces that made me chuckle. On Paderborns forum haha
You mean the team who last season were in the top division, and I'd heard of, (just the name nothing more than that) even though I don't like football.
The Albion is a nothing club, with an average history, there is absolutely no reason why anyone from Germany should have ever heard of BHA.

Yeah the team who had a season in the top flight, who most people other than major fans, or residents wouldnt have heard of before, and will quickly forget.

Usually like your posts SB but you're becoming noticably controversial recently - seems odd!
That is all true, but still currently puts them ahead of the game when compared with a team that has trawled around the bottom 2 divisions for over 100 years.
A team that has had occasional forays into the 2nd division and a brief spell in top flight football, nearly 3 generations ago.
Viewing the Albion as anything other than a second division provincial team that few people have heard of is delusional.

No that's not what I have said I am happy we have signed a centre back but as competition for dunk not a replacement
Hope that clears that up
Because in the whole scheme of global football, that's exactly what we are.
Obviously not to us, and a few clubs fans we share grudges with, but that's about it.
We're not even The Big Dog of the second division.
I don't see why an equally nothing club shouldn't look down their noses at us, esp one that's still in it's top flight after glow.

True, if depressing.
I spend a fair amount of time explaining who BHA are to American sports fans who are pretty generally knowledgeable -- although not footie fans.
Uncoached they can usually name 16-20 English sides. Sometimes for strange reasons -- mentions in film, e.g. However, Brighton is not one of them.

Agreed SB we are a nothing club but people on NSC would have us as the most well known club in Britain. Out of The Championship I expect the Germans know about Forest, Leeds, and a a a a a a a well that's about it really!

So no Dunk at Southend, as hope this bloke passes is medical!

Yes in global football terms maybe... But in England is where it really counts for most of us. (I don't know any German 2nd dig clubs but I wouldn't be ignorant enough to call them 'nothing clubs' because they don't feature on Sky Sports every week!) You could say 99.9% of football ins are 'nothing clubs' by your logic. I'm not saying The Germans would be all heard of us but surely there's a better turn of phrase than 'nothing club'?!

At last with him and Rea we now have some genuine defensive cover. Perhaps he is a replacement for Dunk but let's hope not.

Fair enough, maybe there is.
But in the context of the points being made from the arse end of nowhere Germany, we are one of those 99.9%.
It's not as if the Albion even have a history of German footballers.
It's fairly safe to say we have presence in the knowledgeable parts of Spain, but not Germany.
