Good post, appreciate your comments, and appreciate you weren’t one of the boo boys. Were you in 1910 though, or are you a bit of a Johnny Come Lately? From the outside looking in GP is a tremendous manager, makes Southgate look like the clueless waistcoat wanker that he isTotally agree with you on the booing, yes there was and it wasn't justified. I picked up on the size of our "tiny" ground and being half empty.
As far as telling what you can do and for how much, don't believe I posted anything about that apart from big clubs buy small clubs best players, which is a fact.
We fish in different ponds to you, if we catch a talent we expect them to depart some day. Currently it's your time at the top, enjoy it. We did win the Charity Shield in 1910, we still celebrate the fact.
We aren’t a council house tenant, just seen that snide comment. We effectively swapped Maine Road for what is now the Etihad, and paid all the money to convert it from a medium sized athletics stadium into a large football stadium. It also enabled the council to make a fortune on developing the land Maine Road was on, and it all effectively helped the Commonwealth Games go ahead. In addition we paid a % of the gate money to the council for several years. Coming onto another club’s forum and making snide cracks about council tenants isn’t a good lookNot sure that's necessary.
Our ground holds 32000 and is normally sold out. Brighton have always had a good fan base. In the 46 years of supporting them I can assure you the support has always been there, events as well documented nearly saw the club disappear. If it wasn't for direct action of thousands of those supporters the club wouldn't be here.
I will add the club owns its ground and is not a council tenant.
It's easy to slang off other fans and clubs but we all have one real interest and that's our own team. It's not about slapping down other fans for fun. Your fans are living the dream, fortunate that wealthy owners are prepared to pay for your entertainment. We are no less fortunate that a lifelong fan happens to a billionaire. We benefit from the fact he and his family are true fans of the club. Therefore while attempting to run it as business he also has full empathy with the fans.
I fully expect Cucurella to leave us if Bloom believes it is in the best interests of the club and player. I'm certainly not itk and read the same rubbish as most others. Some Brighton fans who have appeared on here have posted crap. One though mentioned "bumping" into Bloom who imparted some sound bite. Possibly he did, as has been posted he and the especially the CEO Paul Barber are well known to be very approachable. In truth what Bloom was supposed to have said is nothing more than an expected answer, certainly nothing new, it will cost a lot to get him.
As of yet there doesn't appear to any credible reports that any official approach has been made. If he does go to you I'll watch with interest his progress.
Obviously you are now in a position of ultimate strength in assembling a squad but those of yesteryear will always remember when you get someone special. Cucurella is that player for us now. While you spend your time enjoying their time with your club you're always aware they are only using you as a stepping stone waiting for their dream move.
Success for a smaller club normally ends up with a rebuild with the best players being picked off by the bigger clubs. The football pyramid relies on it to distribute some wealth down the league's.
i posted almost the same thing a few pages back :-)I think I may have read it here originally but I keep singing Smooth Operator by Sade every time I see this full backs name.
Care to explain why you feel that using the reference Council Tenant in a way that conveys second class or a person/organisation of substandard merit should not have you pigeon holed as some posh wanker?Not sure that's necessary.

I don’t know why you come on to another team’s forum to make a post like that. You gripe about slanging [sic] off other fans and a sentence earlier make the council tenant jibe; for some reason, fans like you think that the ‘shame’ of renting outweighs our success. See your comment was also liked by Charliegull who also now becomes a cnut.Not sure that's necessary.

Disappointing to see someone who appears to be intelligent undermine themselves with the use of the lazy, cliched and clearly inaccurate portrayal of our financial situation.
South Coast rag.Not sure that's necessary.

Point I was making is it's easy to slang off another's set up as the poster did to us. And rightly you protect your position, the same as I was ours.We aren’t a council house tenant, just seen that snide comment. We effectively swapped Maine Road for what is now the Etihad, and paid all the money to convert it from a medium sized athletics stadium into a large football stadium. It also enabled the council to make a fortune on developing the land Maine Road was on, and it all effectively helped the Commonwealth Games go ahead.
