It just irks with them because we have:

Better Chairman
Better Manager
Better Ground
Better Training Ground
Better Squad of players
Better Academy
Bigger Attendances
6 points

But they do have:

A squad with no fight or passion (words taken from their own forum after Sunday's game.)
A centre forward who's stealing a living (again their words)
A stadium that's falling down, albeit with some new cladding and clean drains
A chairman who doesn't have a clue
Some Yank investors who allegedly want out.
Their best player wants to leave
A new stand, oh wait.

To be fair, they do also have a summer beer festival - so they beat us in 1 aspect.

"Alright, so apart from a better stadium, clean facilities, a competent owner, higher attendances, a world-class training ground, a more rounded team, stronger unity and a well thought out long-term strategy, what do Brighton have over us?"

"A good manager?"

"Good manager...AHHH SHUT UP!"

Goldstone
Having read all the archived thread it seems the "Albion supporters" who wanted to sell the Goldstone, that our unwashed friend Adlerhorst is banging on about, is just a handful of councillors & the board? Not a huge swathe of fans desperate to sell the ground?
Reading the thread I get the impression that the 'Albion supporters' that wanted to sell the ground simply didn't exist. We needed to borrow money to pay our debts (something a little alien to our Palace supporting friends), and in order to raise the money, we needed our ground to be considered valuable, and for that, planning permission was seen as a benefit. But none of the fans wanted a retail park there.

Yeah agreed, that's why I put "Albion supporters" in quotes like that. As others have already said now this has been posted on which forum it is on it will be taken as fact by the unwashed divs so just trying to counter that, with some reality, in a small way.

Adlerhorst (Eagle's eyrie) was a World War II bunker complex in Germany, located in the rural area of Langenhain-Ziegenberg

They like their German links, don't they?

Which makes it even more surprising that their second choice keeper hadn’t even heard of Hitler.

Honest.
