As to the ST's - how come they didn't sell that many last season? We did, in Lg1! Glory seeking sussex tossers. Got a new stadium and more debt and it's like they are in the CL! Will they be there next season when they go straight back down?
Christ..we must have more 'Judas' figures than any other club in England :?:...if i didnt know better i'd say we had some kind of complex :wink:..perhaps of a persecution variety? :shock:

like when we were in the champions league, half the population of Leeds were suddenly on the bandwagon, people who didn't even like football just following the fashion. Soon disappeared when things went wrong, briefly returning for Liverpool, spurs and arsenal at home. Queueing up for tickets outside elland road while we were playing a league match.

Brighton will welcome these new fans, they can hardly rely on their old die hard support to fill the new ground.

I am not surprised at all to hear that they have sold so many ST. This is a common occurrence when a club move to a brand new stadium, and add the fact that they just been promoted makes it obvious they would have fans flocking to return again.

Good luck to them I say, saw a clip on TV a while back and it looks to be a great ground. I think like Southampton, it will be difficult to pick up points there .

Spot on Revieboy, every team has it's glory boys & we are not exempt from that fact

Brighton's Goldtone ground was owned by the council i believe, they had nowhere to play the football apart from the Withdean therefore lost alot of fans as Brighton's management & council had a running feud. Brighton always had a good fanbase of around 20.000 so comes as no surprise they have sold 17,000 s/t's now they have a new stadium at Falmer

Not controversial mate just one in a long line of similar posts. Controversial would be a post supporting Bates/Larry :wink:

Go on - post something nice about Bates/Larry :?:

I have lots of good friends in Sussex so pending when the fixture is played, i'm looking at staying the weekend down there

My wife will be pleased as she is Sussex born & bred

Southampton is another one to consider, my brother only live 20 miles away so another possible weekend delight !

Read my first post, i make no comparison to Leeds ticket sales unless someone introduced the subject to the thread, only then i would make a comment with my view on the matter

I started the thread because i lived in Sussex for many years & the wife & i have many friends there. Poyet (ex Leeds) manages them & has done a wonderful job on limited resourses, they are now in the championship & i am looking forward to visiting their new stadium hopefully !

Larry seems a nice fella, has done a good job for us, not the god everyone thinks he is, has alot to prove in the next two years.
I hope he is a massive success at Leeds

Bates is a shrewd businessman who knows how to turn a venture into a profitable money-making operation
Sorry i cannot associate the word NICE with our "new owner" Ken

Will that do :?:

Considering their club has spent the vast majority of its history in the equivalent to league one, hasn't played top tier football since the early 1980s, and until recently hasn't begun to turn things around, then it is quite possible that their fan base was only going to expand if they achieved some sort of success. It's the same case with any club at that level. It is always difficult to attract the crowds to go watch. Plus, when they have a small stadium which is renowned for being amongst the worst in the football league, then they haven't exactly done bad for themselves to keep a solid 6k plus average attendance.

They've always had a decent support, and now they have a good team and a good stadium, the fans are coming in in their droves. There is nothing wrong with that at all. It is the same with every club to some extent, especially at that level. When things are going bad, it is hard to attract fans. But when they are going well, fans begin to turn up. Look at Preston, when they had play off dreams with Billy Davies, the stadium was full at times, now they can barely get half a stadium. It is what happens in the football league I'm afraid.

WHEN did The Don bite the hand at LUFC? :shock: Pathetic and to be honest, a DISGUSTING statement.
Jock Stein was never part of anything at Leeds. Token figure.

You know very well that certain Leeds players used our club for their own means. Bye...

The populace of Brighton have signed up in such numbers because they heard the team was going up to be camp on a ship. :twisted:
