Lurk more than I post, as my paltry post count testifies!!

June 2011 so I'm in. A mate told me about this site, never ever looked for a football forum before until then. I was on a golf forum before here, hence the name, never thought I would post on here let alone go on it all day every day so didn't make a Brighton themed name up. My mate has a lot to answer for after telling me about this place..

I've been on here on another account for some time prior to 2010 but it got banned. Anyway we're ****ed, we won't sign strikers and we have no interest in winning games against big sides so we are going down.

Withdean Wanderer?

 

[Guy Fawkes]

ok.

Withdean Wanderer?

I'm enjoying the ride and really think we can and will stay up, but it will be close. I'm also old enough to remember a lot of the 1979-83 times and it was grim watching us hang on in some dreadful games in the old Div 1 days. This has been far more entertaining. I think we're just missing the game where we're totally outclassed by one of the top teams but absolutely rob them with a lucky 1-0 win for us. Against Chelsea at times we were outclassed - with the likes of Hazard and Willian playing well they will outclass much better teams than us - yet there were times when we caused them real problems and with better luck (and reffing) would have had 2 penalties in the first half.

I'm glad we've signed a new striker and equally glad we're not resorting to just chucking money about like we did in '82. Those big 10-year contracts were the start of what nearly destroyed our club. I'll be happy if we stay up but I won't break down in tears if we go down as I'm convinced this squad will be good enough to make a proper job of bouncing straight back a la Burnley / Leicester and then getting established.

 

[cardboard]

Yep and the old NSC too

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I have noticed that many of the bed wetters seem to be after this date but a few before this date ( not many though )

As we know Tony and his team have done a fantastic job in taking us somewhere i never thought i would of seen in my lifetime. Apart from 79-83 ( was 8-12 then) i never thought i would see the likes of Liverpool, Man United etc in Falmer/Hove except cup games after the shit we have been through.

Now going down is not the end of the world, we have had our 79-83 moment and this generation can enjoy that. ( hopefully it carries on )

Win, lose or draw i will still support my club and i certainly would not lower myself in criticising the board, the manager and the team i love at one of our highest points in history.

So lets get some positivity on this board instead of all the negative shit i keep reading about.

Been here long before 2011..... and this season is just one long happy journey. I hope the premiership adventure continues but if not no worries. Brighton forever!

 

[GreersElbow]

I think I'm a month too late....

I'm enjoying it, not too fussed if we drop back into the Championship as long as we give it our all.

 

[maffew]

I am a JCL to the Amex and a JCagesago on here

I think it says 2003 on my profile but it was a year or two before that but I was there when Turkeygate happened

Brighton and Hove Albion. Not City or United. Just BHA.

 

[Rambo]

Loving it, waited 34yrs to see us in the top division and now I am. Hope we stay up but if we don't, it won't change anything for me. BHA till I die.

 

[227 BHA]

It says July 2003 on my profile (like lots of others on here) but I'm sure I was on another version of NSC from 1998?

 

[nigeyb]

so what if we go down ?

we'll bounce back quicker that last time !

Yep.

Hope we don't go down but, if it happens it happens....

 

[dangull]

I think if the worse happens this season, the club will have a lot better chance of returning in a short space of time compared to 1983

The Amex is light years ahead of what the Goldstone eventually became.

I will find out the second I post
