Brighton Fans

This 'love-in' pains me. They are another football club...in fact long-time rivals as another south club side who stutter and stumble from one shafting to the next, only they are enjoying a blip of genuine success whilst we once again bent over assuming the position. Ok, so the time they came down last season was probably quite nice. We were properly in the doldrums and it was a welcome boost to everyone.

However I read today that they are planning on revisiting us for our last game of the season.

Why?

We're a club run by one of the richest men in the country, certainly one of 'the 1%'. Just because he can't be fecked to dip his hand into his pocket for what would equate to small change in order to get us out of this mess, doesn't mean they should have to spend their hard-earned and weekends watching the likes of Feenwick stumble around looking painfully lost.

Anyway, they've surely got their own club to support? Are they that bored of success that they're lead to want to watch the likes of Durrell Berry, or just sado-masochists at heart? What I'd do *not* to have to see players at our standard ffs.

Football is a tribal game, and an outlet for the most primitive emotions within us...Next time you see a seagull, tell him to do one. Nicely, of course. Perhaps offer to swap shirts, and then at the next game when your Robbie Wiliams replica is being worn away at Elland Road or somewhere similar you can burn his better-designed, shiny blue and white number aloft a pike in front of the crying Demport nerds and twelve Ebbsfleet fans.

But in just coming to that one game they have done more to help save this club than we ever could, LEGENDS, I demand a Muriel! In fact I kid you not a Muriel with a Brighton scarf and an Argyle scarf has been mooted on the farm! W An Kers.

Bumlicking nonsence

The original Argyle fans led Fans United thing when Brighton were on the brink in the mid 90s(?) I thought was a worthy idea. Brighton fans returning the favour with Fans Re-united when we were in administration I have no problem with, albeit it a bit embarrasing. But Brighton fans still turning out to give us moral support a year and a half after coming out of administrion is utterly rediculous! Most clubs who have come out of administration as long ago as us are now well on the way back up again and administration is all ancient history. Not f***ing Argo! Under the non-investing banker and his useless 'board' of shit we're still a basket case teetering on the edge of the abyss!!! Being patronised by massive Brighton! A team we SHOULD now be walloping in the league!

BRENT OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back slapping, holier than thou, praaaaper faaaaans crap !

No doubt when it happens Greengenes will cry tears of joyous gratitude, proclaiming that this glorious union of kindred spirits, hearts and minds has given him the greatest day of his life.....

But yeah, it's all a bit cringey.

Remember stopping off at the garage at South Brent last home game last season to find a couple of Brighton fans that were almost begging us to thank them for coming down, it was as if they had saved the club!? Bunch of anchors, sorry stick to your bent gaff.

The Brighton chairman has issued a warning re conforming to the FA rules re budgets and spending they are currently losing £8 million a year which they hope to bring down to £5 million by the 2015 - 2016 season!
Big price to pay for being high up in the championship, sounds kinda familliar does'nt it?
Will probably end in tears again.

have to drive in and reverse out just to be safe.

If they want to come down and watch a game of football whilst giving the club some money then great, just leave the fanfare back home. We have enough superfans of our own shouting 'look at us', they don't need encouraging and we don't need more.

This love in with Brighton fans is just another thing on a long long list that annoys the f#ck out of me about Argyle. Condescending and unnecessary.

I cant believe its even being considered, another middle finger up at the clubs fans from the corrupt few.

I find it all a little embarrassing and humiliating.

I remember we beat them 5-1 maybe 7 yrs back. Look how far we've come.

If I remember rightly it was a result which put Brighton right in a relegation battle and was the start of 3 home wins in a week for us (Crewe & Sheff Utd?).

You could just imagine FN in a similar situation today, Webby at the front cheering on Brighton because we love 'em so much.

I have too agree, this love in with Brighton is just dreadful.

Why do i want to see fat blokes in brighton replica tops walking round getting congratulated? its just tragic and to add insult to injury they're treated like royalty

Fair play to them, IMO they can do what they want but I won't be walking around back slapping any of them. To me it feels a little like patting the slightly retarded kid on the head when he manages to put basic shapes back into their slots.

Each to their own of course but I think the Brighton fans who have made an effort to support Argyle at the darkest of times deserve great credit. To me it shows great humanity and football fan behaviour at its best.

A Brighton mural wont last long in the away end should Palace ever be the visitors!

I think it is quaint when you Janners feel the need to kiss the butt of everybody you think is better than you, shake the hands of the Gay Boys, watch El Porko lick the clingons from the crack of any manipulative tw@ in a suit who walks down off the moors or sachets in to steal your land, better still look out that copy of "We are the Champions" you played so pussyingly for the Coders, you will be able to deja vu when we come down in march.

You're a cheerful old lot aren't you.

To be fair, most of the comments on this thread are fair (some are a tad harsh admittedly). The fact we are still relying / welcoming support from the other 'Fans United partner' speaks volumes about the lack of progress made under Brent since the takeover

We certainly are not relying on the support of 10-15 matchday tickets purchased by Brighton fans.

WRT welcoming support, what are we supposed to do? Tell them to eff off? If they want to come that's their prerogative.
