Big Bertha to Brighton

Brighton fans were some of the most supportive during the NAPM years. Indeed when they came up here for a game, right at the start of the protests outside the West stand, many of them not only joined in the protest but also the "surge" (to put it politely) toward getting into reception. They bought Oyston Out scarves and there is a photo on the TK facebook page somewhere in an album of them holding the scarves up. Some also came up for JD1 and I ended up becoming friends with one fan and have remained so ever since.
 
I remember the Brighton fans supporting us during the boycott (despite their status as the number 2 seaside resort in the country), but displaying our Big Bertha is a bit too much to ask. 😃

They've been in the Premier League since 2017 and are proof that having half your catchment area in the sea is no bar to PL survival. If they prioritise their league position above the FA Cup, as West Brom did, we can progress further in this competition. (Brentford Nylons? Who are they?)

Unfortunately for us Brighton's catchment area consists of almost the entirety of Sussex as they are basically the only "successful", professional football club in that county. Their only competition really is Crawley Town.

Our catchment area in reality is only the Fylde Coast which is now being eaten up by Fleetwood Town and AFC Fylde, the buggers! I'd imagine any potential catchment stops somewhere towards Preston, its why we need Fleetwood and Fylde to return to their rightful places in the pyramid
 
I know a BFC fan who lives near Lewes who is coming up regularly to see his elderly parents

If the flag can't go down on the coach ( which is the most logical ) this time that might be an option

Just looked at Brightons last match highlights ,all the seats are covered in advertising whether the @SLO_BFC can sort something out that would be great.Tim it was Harry Lyons who had the pleasure of taking BB to Eastbourne.

those adverts just for PL matches? might be able to squeeze something in.

And Brighton are as pretty accommodating club with the away games generally; you never know.
 
it would be a bit shit from Brighton if they said no.
If a conference club asked us would we really not approve of it?
