Cheers for the kind words.
I would imagine drum or no drum it's hard to whip up an atmosphere at your place on a normal match day as there is often no one there!!
If you minus the away fans that visited both clubs, we averaged 650 less fans per game than you at home this season. Given that our away average is over 1000 more than yours. More Boro fans went to Boro games than brighton fans have been to brighton games this season. If there is no one at our ground to whip up support, The 650 extra brighton fans per game is hardly blowing our figures out of the water, is it. The riverside has been bouncing all season.
Don't worry it will be a packed riverside again next season after a low point and 7 long years out of the top flight, looking forward to our 61st season amongst the country's elite.
