Sensible comments, and I would add that it may get worse before it eventually gets better. We just have to tough it out and have a few laughs along the way before we get to Falmer, which will be like a rebirth of the club.

In terms of crowd sizes, if we hadn't had any success the crowds would still be small now. Infact they'd probably be smaller as we would have had 15 years of oscillating between poor and unbelievably dire. There would be very little hope or belief among the supporters due to the unrelenting failure of the team. The three promotions have given people the belief that we can rise up the leagues and that if only we were competing on a level playing field we'd be a regular in the championship. It helps to keep fair weather/occasional supporters interested and I would argue helps bring in new fans.
The downside to this is that, yes, some people are now getting pissed off with us wallowing in the lower reaches of the third tier and with seemingly little chance of getting back into to the championship in the near future.

Yesh,yesh it is.
yes we been spoilt but f*** me did we deserve it after my first 14 years of supporting the club.
Of course when a team is succesful and heading in the right direction on the field , that to very quickly see the wheels come off and the team going backwards it is going to piss even the staunchest supporter off.
Purely looking at the playing side ignoring outside factors that is

Very true and as Ben said last season when we got relegated ' dont worry grandad we shall be back again next season or the one after as they always do get promoted back'. He has been a season ticket holder for 9 years and has seen a few promotions and relegations during that time but he is now a life long supporter like myself, well not exactly like me, I hope.

The very fact that BHA exist as a club, is the reason for "all the discontent" you mentioned. However, discontent at recent lack of success is only even available to us because we have a club to be discontented about! Even if we still had a Goldstone, and even WHEN we get Falmer, there would be discontent, moaning, opinion, criticism, and general week-by-week chat that wouldn't all be complimentary .....just like other clubs that.... still exist.
Moaning and criticism is nothing to be afraid of, bad results/players/performances/managers will come and go, along with the good stuff. The intrinsic fact and bottom line is, Brighton and Hove Albion exist to compete in the league, despite all that has happened.
Is this how things were meant to be? Oh yes, absolutely.
Thanks be to Dick (and others, of course, ....and no thanks to the f.a.).
