Agree, but rather we didn't shove it down the throats of those who may not agree. Sussex is broad in right and left, so just leave it to the fans to decide outside of football. I go to watch and enjoy myself, not have politics thrown at me. I'm centre left btw before you say GAMMON
If Brighton fans represent the whole city and county then we can't be not far off 50/50 right/left wing. Sussex as a whole is not by any means a noted hotbed of radical left wing socialism.
Let’s face it, our supporters are too mild mannered and inoffensive to ever be compared to any of those clubs. But I would only be delighted if we were closely associated with the progressivism of the city. (Edit: And I think we are, by many.)
"We would like to welcome Henrik Rydström as the new head coach of Brighton and Hove Albion. After an extensive search, he was the outstanding candidate and the number one choice of both myself and Chairman Tony Bloom" !
Look forward to seeing a 'Free Palestine' flag being raised above the Amex any day now...
No not these days. Modern players are more interested in how clued up their head coaches/managers are when it comes to tactics and training than anything else. If he impresses the players in those areas, there will be no issues.
Not a good idea - a pesky seagull will have that pronto.
Naturally left wing ,?
I'm going for Thursday. Only because I can't have Wednesday now.
Sure there was a touch of irony about my post but I think it's a tad foolish to claim FH won't garner respect because of his age.
I unequivocally, 100% did not suggest that!
I think Brighton do have a left wing edge, but are generally apolitical, most if not all, are anti racism, homophobia etc, but making the football club solely left wing like St Pauli does not indicate a broad church. I know a very left wing German bloke who supports HSV, they’re not really a right wing club. St Pauli do irritate me a bit, but I have no issue with them, I prefer the herd mentality and city representing Marseille, rather than them. I’m probably far left (according to people on here) but I think it would be unnecessary to be like that, Brighton is currently in my opinion very representative of the city and surrounding area, and like in the original point, I don’t want a global brand and fan clubs in every city because of that. I want a local football club where people from all walks of life in the city can afford to attend.
Fair enough. Stand corrected.
I find it unfathomable that the concept of opposing prejudice is considered political at all. I don't think Albion has any political leaning. I just see it as a club that promoted good community relations.
