Why arent you getting the recognition you deserve?

[BrianSwan]

For your great style of football?

On top of that 25k average and top of the league.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Don't care happy for us to fly under as many radar's as possible.

We are Brighton, no one likes us, we don't care

We get the REAL recognition that you give us, media and hype not required

Cheers Brian. I'm guessing that it's mainly because we have spent two decades nudging along in the bottom divisions and the media are slow to wake up to the fact that it is a new ball game down here now. Wasn't it a similar story with Swansea? I seem to remember the collective media only truly fell head over heels with Swansea once they got promoted to the Premier League. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

You've got to love Swansea right now. The template for the way most clubs want to be and one I am glad we are having a damn good go at following.

We are Brighton, no one likes us, we don't care

We are Brighton, no one rates us, we don't care!

 

[Deleted User X18H]

We are recognised. You should go to Hove. They're all over us out there.

 

[Daffy Duck]

We can't have liitle ol' Brighton grabbing all the headlines, now can we.

Quite happy for us to just keep under the radar.

 

[El Presidente]

Recognition from where though? The media are far too busy sucking up to the Premiership as those stories sell papers to armchair fans.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

I think it's a combination of the fact that hardly any pundits were talking about us before the start of the season (so we're making them look a bit stupid), plus the fact that we racked up a lot of early wins last season before falling away (yes, I know we're playing much better now, but I doubt the people we're talking about have been paying close enough attention to realise that)

Absolutely this - don't mind if they pick us up after the Easter games if we've got an unassailable lead at the top, otherwise sssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh!!!

I noticed yesterday though that the sky sport summaries were mentioning us first.... must have gone against the grain.

 

[glasfryn]

the BBC do not like us
thank you for your comments Brian

 

[smudge]

Every now & again a pundit will say, "Gus Poyet is doing a great down there at Brighton" like they're in the know of some secret that's being kept under wraps.
We're used to being merely an afterthought on the TV and we don't really care too much.

 

[Dumseagull]

I notice that the BBC "Championship football" page led with a big picture of us, for some reason though, generally, the media hate to mention brighton..... its a mystery...

WHO?

 

[Titus]

But we are mentioned in that Victor Chandler advert on the telly.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

And we got mentioned in Eastenders.

And we're on a Channel Four documentary.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Actually we were mentioned on both Football Weekly and the Football Ramble last week which was nice.

I think people are starting to take notice, it just takes a while. To be honest I don't remember THAT much fanfare over Southampton leading the Championship for most of last season, certainly outside of the local media anyway. We're just not as important as the Premier League, but we will be

Yeah ! And not forgetting being featured in "carry on girls"


Oh wait, that's just the city
