Clapham Gull raised a really interesting question in the Sports Cafe on Tuesday. Once we've got Falmer open for business, will we become just another club, along with all the others?
Okay, so at last we'll have (both literally and figuratively) the level playing field we've been demanding all these years. We'll be able to compete. But think: no more death-defying struggles for existence, no campaigns to fight... Matchday attendances at Falmer that are entirely performance-related... Buying players, selling players, sacking managers, winning, losing, promotions, relegations... Think Derby County. Think Stoke City, Southampton even...
Do we really want to be just like that? Do we really want all that boring normality? Maybe we should say NO to Falmer NOW! Views?
