I realised that I’d half contradicted myself, however my initial comment was aimed at their belittling of us on the sandwich based comment.Now I'm confused. Is the Houston Blade who talks about Brighton fans 'massive sense of entitlement' in post #7 a different Houston Blade?
Personally, I cringe less at opposition fans calling us Sheffield (why the fuck should they care about our seeming sense of entitlement to be called what we demand?) or labelling us 'agricultural' than to see one of our own on here getting uppity because a fan of another team that happens to be doing better than us thinks they should probably get three points against us.
What relevance is there to the team having low crowds or no stadium 20 years ago?
To say that no one is bothered about us when they’ve come from relative obscurity in the last few years is disrespectful.
It doesn’t mean that I don’t think they’re a bigger club than us on current metrics. They are.
I also think they typify the ‘nouveau riche’ PL clubs who seem to think that they’ve earned their place at the top table when really they’ve been lucky enough to have been bankrolled to the position they’re in. I’d swap positions and owners with them in a heartbeat though.
