Defeat is a difficult word that nobody wants to hear, but Brighton does not fear defeat. We have faced far greater trials than this, and we have been one of the lucky ones. Had it not been for the passion our fans have for this club, none of us would have been here today. Victory comes when one knows what it means to come back from the brink of oblivion.
Keep your heads up lads, and this will be your finest hour, do it for Shoreham, do it for the Goldstone, do it for the fans who have died believing, do it for the fans who keep on believing. No matter what they say, we are Brighton and Hove Albion, the glorious South, the pride of Sussex and the dark horse of the Championship. No matter what happens, we will always keep moving forward. No matter what, we will make history.
