Call yourself a real fan

wrong thread!

What i want to know is where were the 6 thousand that travelled to Villa on Saturday against Millwall?

You want it both ways. You want us to boycott Withdean
Boycott the Withdean - North Stand Chat

and attend games there to show that we are 'real' fans!

As albion are my 2nd team i headed to godalming-worthing to cover it for Radio Sussex, but was called off due to frozen pitch so went to eastleigh-havant instead

can't expect a student in southampton to get to the shitdean every home game, i've done saitns yeovil and villa away, and plan to do orient this saturday hopefully as well!!

i contribute plenty thank u very much...like buyin the new kit 4 my son every time it comes out,,training tops,hats,scarfs ect ect,none ov which r cheap,and as u no money doesnt grow on trees !!!!! i refuse 2 sit in the family stand as its a shit view,when i do take my son i get tickets 4 the south stand,thats £45 b4 i even get out the door ov my house,then take in 2 account travel,food,drink and programme,£60 to £70 for 2 hours at the withdean,,,not my idea ov fun or money well spent !!!!!! so if im not classed as a so called REAL fan,then u can stick it where the sun dont shine !!!!! ive spent 1000s ov pounds followin the albion over the the last 23 years,home and away so i class my self as a REAL fan,,,i do respect the fans that brave the withdean week in week out as they r what keeps the club alive,but just because some ov us dont go and choose 2 go 2 a 1 off game like villa dont mean we aint real fans !!!!!!!!! sea sea sea siders

I think you've missed the point somewhat fella.

Anyway, the earlier post - to suggest away followers contribute f*** ALL is a little harsh. In monetary terms, clearly not a lot. In galvanising the team when they see us up and down the country, probably quite a lot.

No, you don't have to go to Withdean to be a real fan, but be aware that you contribute exactly f*** ALL by not going. Your choice of course - perhaps we're all just mugs. But you also don't then moan when we don't sign better players or improve the facilities - where do you think Div 3 club funds come from?

I personally prefer an away day, cant say I've ever been disappointed with the away support and it is always a cracking day out. I live in Southampton so where ever i go to watch, it is a fair old trek. As much as i understand your point, i do not agree that not going to home games means you contribute "f*** ALL" to the club. Home or away i will cheer on the lads, that's my contribution. I pay good money for my tickets, travel and accommodation if needed. If i had the money to buy a new training ground complete with Torres and Ronaldo (of course they would join us!) then i would. Unfortunately, i don't, so i go to as many games as i can/can afford/the misses will let me go to!

Keep the faith, Up the Albion!

You can always rely on old Boring to say something negative. Get a life mate, try moving, living in Goring would make me depressed too.

Wasn't having a pop at away fans or people who support the club by buying kits (or perhaps more importantly those who pass on the curse of being an Albion fan to their offspring!). I was having a go at those who on one hand refuse to go to Withdean because the facilities are poor and then at the same time complain that we get financially out gunned by clubs like Leeds or Southampton for players.

Family wedding, who gets married at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon?

Only the second home game I've missed all season to be fair and we lost that one an'all! (there's a surprise!)

Losing 19-0 in a rugby fixture... Withdean would probably have been less morale sapping.

Oh OK, fair enough, well you're spot on then.

Always makes me annoyed as well as making me laugh when fans link us to player A or player B, then moan when the likes of Leeds and Saints get them. No doubt we will have some ridiculous names suggested today.

i didnt go to withdean cos i didnt fancy it. i would rather go to orient and charlton

 

[FLOG GNAW]

I was at Withdean, last game i missed was when we drew 1-1 with Huddersfield(?) and Hart got sent off AFTER the gamne.

couldnt go to villa.

had to turn down millwall ticket as hangover from hell. ticket paid for though.

 

[ady1973]

Are we saying that the majority of fans who can afford to go to every match are single or retired, with no or very little bills to pay etc etc?......cause if we are, then I am must be classed as a glory hunter, even though i have followed Brighton for 30years and in my single days I travelled all over England. But now however I have different priorites and now spend my money on my house, food and family......sorry but that is how live is im afraid, any money left over can then go into entertainment.But at the mo there isn't alot.

So, am I fan , Glory hunter or just plain old normal ?.....(I would love to go to every game home and away and come back to my cardboard box..........erm no thanks)

 

[pasty]

I didnt go to Villa BUT was there yesterday

Bloody mediocrity-hunter
