Next year...

We're 5 points ahead of Reading. 5! And they've got 17 games left to catch up.

We've got 19 games to pull further away. There's some right old pessimists on here.

If you were some Italian wonder kid, brought up in Rome. Where would you rather move to, Brighton or Hull?

Hull has a shiny stadium too, I agree. But that really is all Hull City can use to sign players. We, on the other hand, have the Sea-life centre, the i-tower, Hove Museum, Fatboy slims house and many other great city attractions which will tempt foreign players to our club more so than Hull.

And a world class music venue in the Concorde 2, our world famous beach, the Foredown camera obscura, Beachy Head nearby, the West Pier, the Booth Bird Museum, George Street Hove for shopping and finally to top it all off a rail service that is only an hour away from London. Any world class footballer couldn't fail to be swayed by that lot, could they?

On top of that, if you want to attract players and make them go "wow" drive them in on the Falmer Road from Woodingdean (maybe blindfold them for the bit through Woodingdean itself - only joking) - then watch their face as the Amex appears from nowhere from behind the hill - catches me every time I drive along that road - a beautiful sight, a thing of wonder!

Hull is the European city of culture for 2017. We can't compete with that sort of accolade.

We're in a decent position, but we're nowhere near promoted yet. We'll tell you about next season, next season.

I'm not being pessimistic, I'm simply pointing out that we've not been promoted, which was suggested in the OP.

 

[sparkie]

Would rather enjoy this year while it happens than waste time and energy thinking about next season.

 

[El Presidente]

I think Burnley have done superbly this season, and good luck for the forthcoming matches.

Any team for whom Ashley Barnes scores a 94th minute winner against Palace gets my approval.

We are a long long way from promotion, it's just one match at a time. This month will be critical.

.

That's the Hull City, who yesterday signed (28 cap) Italy and Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia?

Not really pessimists - just Albion fans!

The Sea Life centre compare to The Deep
The KC Stadium is in the middle of a lovely park.

A couple of miles out of Hull and you are in beautiful countryside.

The reason Burnley are doing so well this season is because during their previous PL season they banked the money, backed Dyche and didn't mind taking relegation knowing that the parachute payments would leave them in good stead. That's sound management all round, and as a result now they can lay out club record fees from a position of strength.

Good luck to them. Still bitter about their hoofball tactics and last minute equaliser against us in the run-in last season, mind

Del boy Trotter has featured both Brighton and Hull in the classic series.

He gave a 'glowing' report of Brighton, suggested something 'fishy' about Hull and Burnley wasn't mentioned once!

They did have a perfectly good goal disallowed too though.

 

[carteater]

They had a great plan. Spent very little in that first season. And bankrolled their promotion with the money they got and the parachute payments. And now they can afford to spend fairly big now and are reaping the rewards.
Well done to them. Should comfortably survive this season.

I'm still bitter about last season and the poaching of Ward the season before though.

If we don't get promoted from this position will it ever happen?

Don't forget the South Downs national park ,Bluebell railway, Wakehurst,Nymans, Sheffield Park, and you can play phoo sticks in Ashdown forest and we close to Burwash in Kent
