Brighton have been nicking the best players the SW has to offer.

Bristol Rovers - Will Hoskins

Plymouth - Craig Noone and Ashley Barnes

Exeter - Ryan Harley


I know Harley was a Swansea player but he never kicked a ball for them so that doesn't really count.

But you cant steal the satisfaction of supporting a fans owned club, living within its means! We own our football club and stadium might not be named after a bank and we don't have a rich benefactor, but we do have a club owned by its fans for the fans!

Too true TVR. It may be humble, but at least we're not up sh*t creek like Ridsdale Rovers.

I'm not really into scoring points but on this occasion..........

Rich benefactor - Tony Bloom life long Brighton fan and so too were his other family members who were directors in the past.

The Amex - Owned by Brighton and not council ie we don't pay rent.

American Express Sponsor - Main headquarters in UK are based in Brighton. Local company abet an Overseas one.

Clubs owned by fans generally struggle financially on and off the pitch as you are seeing right now.

Indeed. But rich benefactors come and go. Trusts are there for the long run. Enjoy yours while it lasts. Oh, and be careful not to do a Plymouth ...

If you haven't paid for any of these players then you will have to give them back.

Ask any looter, there is a difference between stealing/ nicking and shopping.

And how are we struggling off the pitch may I ask? ;)

Yeah, I've heard they are re-naming you Bloom's Batty Boys.
