Hi Guys
For those of you old enough to remember i used to play for the albion in the eighties and returned to the club in the mid nineties so i am fully aware of the hardship that this great club has had in recent times.
With that said since the turn of the 21st century the club has also had great success with 3 promotions in 4 years.
This success makes it very easy to forgot the hardship that all you fans have endured...this should not be forgotten. Ive read so much negativity on this site and it really does bewilder me. If you had been offered the position you are in now the week before you faced Hereford in that vital match i believe every true albion fan would have taken that.
I was fortunate to have played at the Goldstone ground and although it was not the most romantic of grounds it was home and could generate a supurb atmosphere. Withdean can never do this but you are almost their in your quest for a new home. Falmer is only 3 years away....under a third of the time you have already had to wait.
All i ask is that you great fans get behind the team, the chairman and the manager. They are doing a fantastic job under extremely difficult circumstances. I am still in regular contact with Dean having obviously played with him what now seems like all those years ago and believe me he is doing a great job. Managers have gone and left Brighton in the lurch in recent years but i cant see Dean doing that. He really wants this club to move forward as does the chairman and most deffinetely you the fans.
Keep behind the Albion...myself as an ex player only knows too well what a lift it gives the squad.
