If brighton had died all those years ago?

[Return of the Rev]

If brighton had lost at hereford and archer was allowed to drag us into oblivion,what would you have done?
Watched local football?
Attatched yourself to a premiere club?
Started supporting crawley/lewes?
Given up watching football?
Start watching fc brighton in the lower leagues?

I like to think brighton would have been reborn and i would have followed the climb back up!
What would you have done?
lets say this happened straight after the hereford game

 

[Simster]

Wouldn't have rabidly supported anyone, although I suspect I would be a Wimbledon or possibly even a Crawley "supporter" by now.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I was already part of the non league scene come 1997. Firstly West Sussex League at Angmering FC (played/managed/secretary) then County League at East Preston FC (committee). And it was almost a full time non working passion for me from about 1985, hence I saw very few pro games anyway.

 

[southwickseagull]

Followed the reformed Brighton.

 

[Storer 68]

not a clue - failure wasn't a probobility I entertained at the time (madness!)

 

[Ernest]

More than a few who post on here now had given up in the 90's, I could never support another club so whilst I might have gone to a game or 2 it would never have been the same.

 

[The Grockle]

Probably AFC Brighton and Hove (or whatever our new name would have been) if that had been the end of us completely, no doubt I would have ended up following Palace…. Thank god for Storer!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Probably AFC Brighton and Hove (or whatever our new name would have been)

What would their new name have been? Something grand like New Brightovians FC?

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Folloed FC Brighton back up the league pyramid for sure!

 

[sod1]

i would have probably gone to more England away games, i used to go to all the home games as it was.... in truth i dont think any of us really know the answer Rev, its not something we were prepared to let happen .... good on everyone going to the fans re-united game

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I probably would have followed Southampton and the newly formed Brighton. Football would never have been the same though. I might even have lost interest completely

Going down plymouth with middle rev! 3 games in four days!!! Gonna stay sober for these games!

 

[Hunting 784561]

I would now be following the mighty CHRYSTAL PALARSE






























No, not really.

 

[Munkfish]

I would be playing football now instead of watching it and no doubt been an armchair fan of Spurs or Arsenal.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Would probably have gone to watch us, whatever we might have been called and maybe a few trips up to Fulham or Charlton.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Would have followed the pheonix club back up the leagues. Can't believe anyone would have considered anything else, tbh.

 

[Hove Seagull]

Would have followed the pheonix club back up the leagues. Can't believe anyone would have considered anything else, tbh.

This, and only this!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Got a life

 

[Ernest]

The phoenix club wouldn't have been Brighton and Hove Albion, that would have died. The same as AFC Wimbledon are not the real Wimbledon or any of the other AFC's.

What if there had been 2 lots of supporters starting up 'New Albions' ? Which would have been the real one ? Neither as the real Albion would have been laid to rest.

When Scarborough were reformed this is what i believed happened, thus spiltting the fan base.
