Premiership - our turn soon?

Oops, I forgot about Liz and some of the Uberfans who like to lord it over the rest of us with their dedication.
can't help but think you haven't tried very hard
Would you have rather supported Rochdale for 30+ years and be marooned in the fourth division for all of that time?

The figures banded about after the game yesterday were that promotion would mean something like £80-90m to Blackpool...that sort of money would pretty much pay for Falmer...you can bet that Mr Bloom, if he wants to see a real return on his investment, wants to see us play in the Premiership. Will it happen, who knows, do the club want to be playing there...even if some of the fans seem unsure...you bet they do!

I cannot believe that some people do not want us to be in the Premiership. Surely it must be the ambition of every fan to be in their countries top division and be challenging for trophies. Without this ambition there is no point in supporting a club.

i hope you jest. otherwise, whats the point? if we are heading for promotion at chirstmas should we start playing the reserves to keep us down in the cottage industry leauge?
the point of sport is to win. if you're not at least trying to win to be the best there's no purpose.

I think your irony-o-meter isn't working today
indeed it would appear to be f***ed
teams don't get a TURN you have to earn it , it is the start of a long road for us, 5 or 6 years at least i would say. mr bloom is a businessman and he would have to have a wholemeal loaf between his ears to not want prem.football at falmer.

from what i've gathered over the past few years, 90% of Brighton fans hate the premiership, never want Brighton in the premiership and are quite happy sitting mid table in the 1st division
....and we would never want a dildo salesman as Chairman........apart from when there were rumours about Gold taking over 12 months ago, and most here CREAMED THEIR JEANS at the prospect.
I never understand why people dont want Brighton to be in the Premiership.... Even if you do go straght down, its about trying to get to the highest level you can otherwise whats the point.

...and we go over to Alan Green at Falmer Stadim where Brighton entertain Liverpool in a battle for the fourth Champions League slot...
Who in their right mind wouldn't want to hear that on the radio?

Don't think the prize was so high when thhey went up,and of course profligate management of clubs will lead to Leeds/Portsmouth/Leicester type situations.So no,not exactly like Portsmouth who spent 5 years worth of largesse before they were ever sure of getting it,but perhaps like West Brom,Stoke,Birmingham,Burnley even,Wolves.You know,where sound financial management rather than overwhelming ambition has led to security.

Not really, Southampton and Portsmouth, just two examples were premiership clubs and spent silly and didn't secure or make their long term futures rosey did it?

Fair enough, they are in such a shambles at the moment that I was bending the realms of probability somewhat...they won't be anything near as much a force to be reckoned with after Torres and Gerrard to a disappearing act over the summer. It is far more likely to be a relegation battle than one for fourth spot!
