I don't get the Brighton hate on here. A good club, well run. Amex stadium is great. They

were royally stitched up in the 90s, almost going out of the football league and the way the fans reacted was admirable. They really organised themselves and did some great things to highlight their problems and to force the owners out.
Not just the usual gathering of a few hundred chanting 'archer out' but gigs, clubnights, poetry readings, candlelit vigils in the owners garden (!) and the fans united day where fans of many other clubs turned up at one of their games (including at least a coachload from Norwich). They also used to literally chase the owners out of the ground whenever they dared to turn up. I was living down there at the time and the atmosphere around the place was incredible - anger, but a real determination to force the regime out. There was a lot of creativity to their campaign and I've admired them since those days.

I don't even find Barham annoying

And no, I'm not him.

Or SCC
