Well they've got a point. It wasn't the club that wouldn't let us play there. It was the council.
Who the **** is Anna Swallow?

seems fair enough to me.
Who the feck does this Swallow woman think she is.
Lets bask in the glory of another Sussex side gaining promotion and see what a sporting high our county is on, not keep slagging others off.

Blimmey, they're a bit mardy aren't they!
Isn't it amazing how the Argus manages to piss off so many people.

the selfish comment was the only one i had issue with. so i should have put "twat"!!!!
the rest of it is correct as you say - isn't anna swallow some incredibly fit bird - i'm sure somebody told me that once. either way, she's wrong though, and even if she'd got it correct about the council NOT the club, it's a bit late in the day isn't it?

They are really pissed off with Anna Swallow and The Argus 
they are even considering taking it the PCC, and are demanding a retraction.

I initially thought Anna Swallow had got her facts wrong on Crawley, but when I read her column again I was sure she did actually say Crawley *council* turned us down.
Granted she was still talking about why she disliked Crawley, but I'm sure she didn't blame the club.
Anyway, there are a million other reasons to dislike the place, so I don't see why CTFC fans are getting upset with the Argus because of one misplaced fact.

I agree. I am not a supporter of Crawley Town, but do accept that they did help us in the Falmer campaign and am appreciative of that. As has been said, it was Crawley Council who declined us permission to share their ground, not Crawley Town. If Crawley fans think we are concerned only with our own club and not others then they should ask fans of Doncaster Rovers, Bury, Darlington etc.
However, the kind of remarks made about Brighton do not endear people to these Crawley fans who choose to deride our club, saying it is "not a big club" and the fans are "arrogant." Does it really matter how "big" a club is, the fact is it's the club one supports, regardless whether it's in the League, the Conference or whatever.
No doubt the fact that they will be in the Conference next season will probably attract more "fans" as people inevitably latch on to "success" - in all probaility when they are not watching Palace or Chelski!
To those Crawley fans who do not tar all the Brighton fans with one brush, I wish you well. However, those who decide to slag us off on the strength of an article by one person - get a life. A more altruistic approach from all concerned would be much more palatable.
None the less I still reserve the right not to like Crawley Town

I've been over to Crawley Town's board and made a rare contribution that owns up to me being the person who USED to write Terrace Talk!
In this case, yes, people have got mardy but, to be honest, I think it would have been enough to congratulate Crawley on their success without dragging up past history. Because if you are going to bring history into it, it's important that this is by way of more than a throwaway remark.
It strikes me that, with plenty of other legit targets to aim a loaded pencil at every week, it does no harm to stick to the principle of Sussex fans generally sticking together!

For whaqt its worth, I never ever read her column as yiu have to wade through 6 paragraphs or crap before getting any sort of decent comment.
I did however, read your column weekyl Roz and its a shame that you couldnt handle the fame that went with it!

I'm afraid the latter day Argus generation of Swallow and Ward is not a patch on the past. The writing is self-indulgent, unfunny, often factually incorrect, and in a modern style with frustratingly little depth. Chuck away columns that do not represent the mainstream view and in this case deserve some sort of comeback.
Whenever someone ignorantly writes or says that we sold our own ground we go nuts. Why shouldn't CT fans have the same right.
I always bought the Argus many years ago but refuse to now. I even refuse to read Wards crap page in the programme as it irritates the hell out of me. Petty I know but there it is.

Thats the big problem about going from fan to journalist, for a lot of people the transition just simply doesnt work, dont know her personally, but she seems intelligent, and I bet before she got The Argus gig, she would have been the sort of fan that you would enjoy chatting matters Albion, over a few beers.
Her comments about Crawley were well out of order, but equally her style of writting makes her seem, well somehow above us all, oh I am not doubting her and her families loyality to the Albion, but I am afraid that like many other 'fan come pundits' her sell by date is long past.

It really really gets on my nerves how the Argus will weekly get at least 2 things wrong.
They do spectaculary as well!! They made a big who-haa about Iwelumo (suprised they get this right) being the first playing 2 score on debut and next match in the league for 12 years. Yes that is some acheivement not done in a long time......
Sorry but little bloke from different strokes done this in August.
They also said in the build up to the Peterborough game away this season that Gary Hart was returning to the ground where he scored the winner in the Seagulls push for promotion 2 seasons earlier. An even better achievement considering he broke his leg after 10 minutes and manage to comr back on, change the colour of skin (not easy) and put the number 25 shirt on before hitting the winner.

Seriously?
