Brighton

[74bus]

I have to confess to coming on here after seeing them fluke a win over Fulham and prophesying that they might miss out on on automatic promotion. Shows what I know, but at least Fulham are now reaping some of the points that their football deserves.
The Amex stadium is probably the least intimidating place in which I've ever watched football, which is fair enough, but not at all daunting for the away team. Their pre-kickoff song is a very jolly ditty called 'Sussex by the Sea' which unfortunately begins with:
'Now is the time for marching
Now let your hearts be gay.'
The whole atmosphere is very family-based, but having said that, their home record ain't half bad this season!
However, they seem to me to be a good, well-organised Championship side who'd struggle to beat 20 points in the Premiership without any additions. Obviously they will buy, but they'd have to buy very well in order to stay up.

Villa and Wolves watching as another Albion disappears into the distance.
Just Burton to go now.

Went to uni at Sussex. The new ground is just over the road from the campus so I'm quite glad they're coming up.

Watched them v Wolves and don't think they'll find it very easy in the prem. Seem a bit soft.

Bang on!  Like a crap tribute act, just don't see the point. There is only one REAL Albion.

Shame they've gone up as Dunk is a proper Tone centre half, scouted him loads this season but doubt we'll prize him away now

Looking forward to ticking that ground off the list next season but no doubt the 'fixture computer' will stick us down there on Tuesday night in February.
