Saints fan here...

[Seagull on the wing]

er no its not. Its next to a gas works and is walking distance from the station, shops and loads of pubs, unlike your ground which has just a university and a gym next to it.

that is true,apart from parking it's ok,as regards our new ground it is right on a train station,has plenty of bars selling real ale.it has major road links and has the largest pitch and is the most beautiful looking stadium in this country.

The Amex most definitely IS within walking distance of shops and loads of pubs.

True, you'd have to leave an hour earlier than normal, but you can walk there (unless, of course, you are already legless)

I do think this is all getting over the top. I know rivalry spices things up, but it wasn't that long ago that Southampton invited us to be the last team they played against at the Dell.

Adkins has wound up a lot of Albion fans, but has also admitted it was part of the kiddology, something Gus isn't bad at either. In fact, as it seemed to pump us up, I'd say this time his comments backfired.

But... there's no history of emnity between Saints and Albion fans. I'm not saying I like them more than other teams, but the Saints fans I play football with have long been saying they hope both our teams go up. Southampton is much nearer than Huddersfield, think of the derbies next season - Albion - Palace - Pompey - Saints. It's going to be great - some top games for Falmer.

Our rivalry has always been stronger with Pompey rather than Saints, so let's not let this all overshadow our great season. For some people it seems to be becoming more important than our outstanding Championship win.

I wholeheartedly agree. I found the behaviour of some of our fans yesterday excruciating.

 

[patchamalbion]

ffs some of our fans are obsessed with SFC,get over it,its a decent rivalry but nothing on Palace or even Pompy.

 

[Martinf]

Is there some signficance to 12,000? Maybe you are looking at the average gate for the wrong club?

Only redneb can explain

 

[trueblue]

Er no its not. Its next to a gas works and is walking distance from the station, shops and loads of pubs.

You forgot to mention the neighbouring council estate and red light district full of skanky whores.

Ahh - an "in" joke. I understand.

They aren't that skanky....ermm, alledgedly.

 

[Dark Sotonic Mills]

They aren't that skanky....ermm, alledgedly.

At least our skanky whores are female...

 

[alan partridge]

what is this 'consistent' shit? As the OP said, the table doesn't lie. It says that this season Brighton have been the best team in the league. Do you not agree?

To whom are you talking?

 

[Marc1901]

Yep, was celery.

I believe a certain ginger haired lad on this forum got most of it in his hair. But I cannot confirm, as I don't know him.

That would be me, the bastards done it on purpose

 

[Jesus Gul]

You would have thought so, but it's really just an industrial shit hole, with docks, which happens to be in the south of england.

yeah OK but ...

 

[Hunting 784561]

yeah OK but ...

ah yes, and I forgot about Woopert Lowe

 

[krakatoa]

Have you been to Portsmouth?

Yes I have, for the reason most people go there (apart from football) - historic dockyard/old ships, spinnaker tower, gunwaharf etc
Who has ever bothered to detour into Southampton for a day out, even when driving past? It's got nothing to offer.

 

[alan partridge]

To whom are you talking?

to the OP mainly but also to anyone who congratulates Brighton and says they've been the most consistent team, rather than the best team in the league this season.

How about yourself? Wouldn't you agree that in season 2010/11 Brighton have been the best team in the league?

Call it most consistent call it what you want but as we can easily afford to lose our remaining games heavily and yet still be the Champions I don't think there's a lot of point in arguing.
