in the present(ish) days brightons is by far the worse ground ive been to, but its no more than they deserve.

dont get stressed over football very often but brighton are an exception. when they got shafted by their chairman in the 90s it was 'poor old brighton, everybody help us...' fans united & all that guff, even now its ever so wrong that they cant get a new ground & everyone should help them. when we got shafted by dear old db who was the 1st to call us? dear old brighton.
sod em. hope they dont get a new ground & go bust. (harsh but true)

Did you get your £3 back from Brighton then as it had that put on the price of a ticket for park and ride !

should think brighton would saythe £3 hasnt been put on the ticket price its just them & the local authorities working together to make the congestion problems around the ground a bit more bearable for the football fan.
they call it spin in politics, in the real world its called bollox.

The worse for me was the infamous Donny CAGE of the late 80`s.

Mr Mercury

yes donny`s cage was bad. sincil bank didnt used to be much fun either.

the old away gravel banking at the shay behind the goal, remember that? you would have to go some to beat that. not even terracing. just a gravel banking rising up from the "dog track". was it a dog track?
bar far the worst ground (league) that i have been to. dreadfull.

made twerton park look luxurious.

The Shay wasn't too bad in the promotion season. The terracing I remember was extremely steep. And the Police locked us in a pub we didn't wasnt to be in. Though to be fair they did let us get chips!

wigans old ground was poor as well with the 'cow shed' at the topof a grassy bank. if it was raining & youwanted shelter the grassy bank turned to a mud bank. it was like something out of 'its a knock out' getting up to it.

My view of yesterday was like being at a cricket match, far away from the action, long periods of silence broken by occasional applause.

It must be cold on the south coast thats two seagulls we have had on the message board today

Seems some of them have spotted this thread on their main board.

Brighton fans with chips on their shoulder

They seem upset that some would be happy for them to go bust, personally I wouldnt shed a tear for them if they did, I hope the courts hang em out to dry. The reality is there's not one other single team I would wish that on. Its the crap on this thread and some others that makes to sincerely want their club to die.

There are some bitter people on there! And some absolute garbage talked too. They really must have a high opinion of their town to call Chesterfield horrible. There aren't many places in England I've not been to as a place we're definitely above average.

Or as Kenneth Williams once said (in the guise of Julius Ceaser) "infamy, infamy, they`ve all got it in for me"

.
Never mind Mr Smith, even if you said it I`m happy to take the flack, at least one Brighton fan seems to understand why we think like we do by posting the picture of the giant Brown envelope!!

Some youngsters on there, with their knowledge on scabs etc

I too wouldn't shed a tear if Brighton never got a new ground or indeed went bust. They have very short memories for some things but very long for others.

An absolutely horrible place to visit. They'll be playing with brown envelopes on their way to the grave.

The bull that was posted all over everbody elses message board when they went up about never playing us and others again has made sure they won't get much support next time they need it.

I hate Brighton and hate isn't too strong a word for it absolutely loathesome individuals.

I quite agree. I hate Mansfield too but I don't want them to go down the pan. But Brighton I hate to say it but I don't care one bit for. I even read somewhere of a town fan who actually wrote to John Prescott to oppose their ground move! That County's only bit of sporting success over the last three or four years is entirely down to a North Derbyshire lad in Chris Adams so they ought to have a bit more respect!
