Dig Dig Posted 16 May, 2016 Share Posted 16 May, 2016 Glad they are not coming up. They have the weirdest mongrel support going. Full of corporates who rocked up post the Amex and everyone else supports Chelsea or Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 16 May, 2016 Share Posted 16 May, 2016 I am conflicted. I like Brighton as a place to go and watch football and have a beer and suchlike, but I don't ever want them to get in the Premier League, the bunch of turds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 16 May, 2016 Share Posted 16 May, 2016 I really wanted to them to come up. Good club, great city, good bit of rivalry and another southern team to further dismember the northern/London monopoly. Still, good to see Sheffield Wednesday back in the big time potentially. Always nice to see a club get back to the top after being on the brink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Much rather Sheffield Wednesday come up than Hull. Don't really mind either, but Sheffield is closer and has some great pubs. Mixed feelings about Brighton. Another few south coast Premier derbies would gave been fun and emphasised the pitiful state of the fishy lot, and it would be a new ground for me. but I find their fans a strange bunch and a touch arrogant. They were robbed last night. Once they were one up I thought they'd do it but a fluke goal, aided by a push missed by the officials, destroyed their momentum.

It's only the promotion season I think I ever gave them a second thought, and that was mainly because we were trying to get promoted too, could have been anyone really.

Fan The Flames Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Missing out in the play offs three times in four seasons must hurt. That photo at the top is pathetic, as a bunch of fans they are always having some grief with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 I thought going to Brighton to give them a thrashing would be better than going to Hull or Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkboy Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 I'm pleased they didn't make it. I find Brighton to be a rather self-satisfied place, full of media types, it would be another media w***fest if they get promotion. London-by-the-sea so no thanks. Plus I'm surrounded by Seagulls fans so really don't want the rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Do we have a good bit of rivalry with Brighton? It's only the promotion season I think I ever gave them a second thought, and that was mainly because we were trying to get promoted too, could have been anyone really. I seem to recall both the games the season after in the Championship were feisty affairs with red cards being shown in fair numbers as both sides hadn't quite got over the previous season. After that I think both sides just forgot about each other. Also I think it was more the teams respective mangers the two sets of fans didn't like .....I still think Gus is a knob even now.

alpine_saint Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Come on. They were 15 points ahead of Sheff Wed. The play-off rules are an arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsaint Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Sorry, I forgot there was a club out there. Cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 At least Brighton wouldn't be as annoying as the Bournemouth fans. Brighton have their own rivalry with Palace so that would keep them occupied. Perhaps next season will be our year when we finally get to play the skates in the cup.

ecuk268 Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Hard on Brighton with them finishing 15 points above Sheffield. I realise that the playoffs maintain interest right to the end of the season but it's unfair that Brighton's points total compared with Sheffield's gives them no advantage. Maybe just have one leg with the team with the most points playing at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just have one leg with the team with the most points playing at home. Sorry to disagree, but Brighton know the rules at the beginning of the season, as do all the clubs. Finish top 2 - automatic promotion, otherwise it's play-offs. Brighton needed to beat Middlesbrough to avoid this but they failed. What happens if 3rd to 6th place are only separated by a couple of points and goal difference? A separate rule? Plus if Brighton had such a points difference one would expect them to beat Sheff over 2 legs. They failed again.

Mr Biscuits Posted 17 May, 2016 Share Posted 17 May, 2016 Would have liked them to come up, if only to really annoy the skates. Other than that they are just another club like Norwich - everyone knows they are there but don't really care enough to put effort into a proper rivalry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
