Apparently the Brighton badge is worth £30.

I understand the need for the club to be run as a business. But the whole feel of a match has gone too far down the commercial road in my view. It's like the football gets in the way of selling opportunities. Did they show the Half Time scores? If so I missed them.

The contrast with the BBC report this week about Dortmund, their commitment to and by their fans and, oh yes, their 80,000 average gate, could not be greater.

Excellent post, I completely agree.

 

[gripper stebson]

Has the third kit changed colour. Seems brighter now compared to this at the start of the season.



The whole 'you can buy it now and we are wearing at Spurs so don't miss out' nonsense got a few boos around us. People are getting fed up.

Pissed me off to see the hard sell of a shitty fluorescent shirt whilst I was sitting there fuming about the lacklustre first half I have to confess. It was as if the football was a second thought.

This is the sort of thing nobody would give a shiny shite about if we were winning matches. But we are not, so it comes across as tiresome money grabbing bollocks at the expense of devoting efforts at what really matters.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Cynical money making nonsense.

 

[ofco8]

Who's the female chatting on the PA?

Dunno, but agree with my wife who said it doesn't work/sound right.

Just like girls who do match commentary occasionally on BBC.

 

[Felpham Seagull]

If were loosing, Hyypia is sacked

yes please

Shiny shit is a fantabulous saying.

Or, I'm pissed.

I need to go to bed.

A few days ago I had an email from the club encouraging me to buy an away red and black shirt (with free scarf thrown in) with the Spurs match in mind. Today they advertise the orange kit as the one the team will be wearing at Spurs.
Anyway why can't the blue and white be worn?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Shameful that they shoved this down the fans throats (insert deep throat gag) whilst on our way to another home defeat and labelled it as a 'big announcement'. Thanks so much for giving us the option of spending £45 on a t-shirt, great news.

Seems we the fans (customers) are becoming more and more irrelevant to the suits and are only momentarily valued when we are buying all of the overpriced shit that they fling at us.

I'm surprised the fat tw@t got that shirt over his head without messing up his hair.

What is the big deal with this fecking orange away kit FFS ? Sell it, there must be hundreds of kids that want it, at Withdean one season we had 3 ( count them ) kits, IT First, all with some shade of blue in them.

Sorry but I don't get it, why is this kit now limited edition?

I give up, I'm lost with this football club

They want you to buy 2 kits, change at half time

 

[oh sami sami]

I've bought it. Why not. I'm loyal.












And rich

On the other hand...the new traing pitch looks great.

When does it open?

I have no problem with Women Pas, Women presenting football or Women reporters at matches. However Women commentators I draw the line at, it just doesn't work. To be fair to the female species it may just be that the only token commentator is absolutly dire and I have tarred them all with the same brush.

 

[Don't get me started]

The marketing department are good at least, maybe they should give them a game!

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I remember once at Withdean a new kit was announced and some very fit ladies were employed by the club to parade in them. Could have been Gullies Girls. And look what we had yesterday in contrast!
