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.

When you come into another teams forum and make snide comments like that you show yourself up as an utter prick. Fuck off

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.

Would be a class chant that mate!

It’ll be enlightening for them all to see how we behave towards Raheem and Gabby when they come back to the Etihad, assuming they leave.

Raheem Sterling he`s not top of the league.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

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 look

Maybe if the Goldstone ground would have been 'Council Owned' then maybe all those years at Gillingham and Withdean wouldnt have happened... But No..A greedy owner sold it from under them.where the North stand used to be is now a Burger king and Nandos car park.

Not 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.

FYI...

We're not "Council Tenants". The Commonwealth games only got the go ahead on the proviso there was a long term stadium tenant insitu post games.

ManUre had Old Toilet & Roger Black campaigned to keep the stadium as a smaller Northern based national athletics stadium.

The stadium was originally designed as an 80000 capacity, all seater stadium with a retractable roof, but the government didn't want to spend the £150m to achieve this, so essentially opted for a stadium of half the capacity minus the roof for £80m. (Don't get me started on the cost of London based Wembley & the Olympic Stadium!) :-|

A deal was struck with City where we would hand over Maine Road & spend £20m redeveloping the City of Manchester Stadium site into a 48000 all seater football stadium. Whether City wanted to buy the stadium or not, we can't until 2102.

Because EU & Central government money was used in the construction of the Stadium, there's a 100 year covenant meaning the stadium can't be sold. City have purchased the surrounding land & built the new training complex, a college & a school & are involved in a joint council project to build thousands of affordable homes in the adjacent area.

Hopefully this will fill in the gaps in your City knowledge, & stop you from being the snide, whining, bitchy little twat you evidently are...

We had more fans than you when we were in the 3rd tier of English football then you guys could even dream about! We are taking Cucurella so get used to it

No not by me.

Clearly a South Coast Rag with a comment like that…. Pathetic, inaccurate and disrespectful. It seems like Brighton fans are similar to Villa fans - they come in here craving attention, demanding respect, give it all the big time bollocks but at every turn they just display their utterly small time credentials. You just know if Cucurella joins us - they’ll boo him when he goes back to the Amex.

fear not . Robomod is here .

You were holding back there I could tell. ;)
