Close Down Albion
A LOT of clubs in the lower divisions such as the Albion are losing money at an alarming rate. Such clubs should close and close quickly.
The death of the Albion if they don't get a ground would be no sad loss.
I would put the onus on non-league football in Sussex, which would be no bad thing.
Crawley and Eastbourne Borough are a couple of progressive non league football clubs who are not far from the Football League
Both have well appointed grounds and are a short train journey or car drive from Brighton. If Albion do go under, perhaps the Brighton board and fans could give their backing to one or both of these clubs.
Falmer should not be built. It would be a blot on the landscape.Withdean cannot be developed and all other sites are unsuitable.
Brighton and and Hove Albion is like a terminally ill person in need of euthenasia. Has Dick Knight got the courage to be the mercy killer?
Before any Albion fans have a go at me. I am only suggesting a remedy.
The people you should have are Messrs. Archer, Bellotti and Stanley. If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be in the mess you are in now.
