I
really hope we sent them down.
Their ground is an absolute sh*8te hole.
That I could generally accept
except for when I visited in 2002 they were charging away fans almost the highest price for tickets in the division yet had facilities that TBH the football league should never have allowed them to have for a football league club.
Basically they were ripping the arse out of away supporters and the FL were allowing them to do it.
When we played them they were justifying admission prices by pleading poverty yet they had Junior Lewis on loan from Premiership Leicester City (at no doubt a high cost) whilst that very week we had had to sell our player of the (previous) season for next to nowt (Craig Armstrong). However the price we charged them for the Mac's facilities was a fraction of what they charged us for sh8*te.
On the way down that day I heard a phone in on Radio Sus<a class=l href=http://webmaxsearch.com?qq=sex onmouseover="return (window.status='sex');" onmouseout="window.status='';">sex</a> (or whatever) about their new ground. Given what has happened since it was hard not to escape the conclusion (based on that phone in) that they got
EVERYTHING THEY DESERVED for treating the local residents in a high handed disrespectful arrogant way.
Brighton have got away with murder over the years because they are treated very favourably by the London based media (who enjoy their days out to the South Coast).
Their ground is
nowhere near fit for league football and when they were battling with Hereford to stay in the league any other club but them would have faced
much harsher penalties for crowd disturbances at their ground.
Arrogant Southern (insert expletive of your choice).
