Two big set backs in as many weeks. The defensive pairing of short right back and veteran can only do so much and Pressley must know that going forward it needs sorting.

Sure, our defense group is not in a good moment, also our keeper... Our boys must orginize their ideas... :(

Always try to stay optimistic, but that was a spanking today, even conceding a 5th goal after they were down to 10 men, especially as well after the match last weekend when we gave away 2 points at the death because we can't defend. Need to sort it out at the back sooner rather than later. Let's hope we can come back in Tuesday's game. PUSB

Just got in from watching a local Wessex League game (Newport IoW v Hamworthy Utd). Newport won 5-1. Then I get home, switch on for results and see this. 5-1, but on the wrong end of the scoring. Gutted. :(

You lot need to get off your high horses and get backing your team in person, sixfields or not, all staying away is going to do is affect your turnover which affects your salary cap and means you have to sell your best players to stay under the salary cap.

60% of this year's turnover, not last year or an average of the last three years, it's the current year's turnover. Potential penalty is a points deduction and you knwo what that is like, or even worse a second administration. Our second one was less debt that the first but potentially more devastating because no-one wants to know from the business community when you shaft them twice. Took us 10 years to recover.

So the answer is swallow your pride, you won't get SISU out by boycotting matches, all you will do is push your beloved club closer to the brink, get down to Northampton in massive numbers and make your voices heard in the ground. Owt else is pointless.

Why would we? Sisu are happy to cut our income stream by moving us. If we all came back we would not fit in. Why should we rubber stamp there decision when only they, and you obviously, don't take the opportunity of using the Ricoh to increase their income 10 fold. In addition have you asked where this is going? If they said lets move to Oxford would you still go?

They can moan about the club selling their best players then though. Result.

What you lot don't seem to get is if we all did turn up a sixfields we couldn't get in. SISU don't care if we are there or not. Wake up.

You must be very easily amused, or just plain simple.
I had to check a couple of sources out just in case there was a digit missing somewhere but there wasn't. Sorry but that made me chuckle

I might be missing something, but why would a Brighton fan care about a match between two teams that mean nothing to them in a completely different division in the first place?

Fine but don't cry the poor tale when your lack of income causes the death of your club, which it will if you continue your boycotts. Maybe not this year but just do the maths. 2,000 at £20 is £40,000 every two weeks. You can't live off that. So what if you couldn't all get in at least 6,500 every week will create an atmosphere and generate you 3x as much income.

Assuming you're a Hull City (not Tigers) fan, I''d assume you'd boycott if your owner moved you to Grimsby to play 'home' games (or if not, I wouldn't expect you to be very happy)?

The owners are responsible for losing the fan base, it is on their heads not ours.

34 miles from Rioch areana to Sixfields stadium. Takes 39 minutes(much quicker as it's all motorway)

69 miles from the Withdean stadium to Priestfield. Gillingham is a much harder ground to get to also. Takes 1hr 23 according to AA route planner

There's no excuse for those figures you are getting. You have dropped from around 15k to 2k. We dropped from 6k to 2k. Bare in mind the Withdean is a horrendous ground to be moving from.

As the other poster says.....Do you really want a football club in the future?

Nots it's a Bradford fan who doesn't understand. He has an excuse for talking bollox. You don't.

When have you ever heard me talk? Do I know you?

Also surely if Timmy Dimmy was to sign in on here he would present himself as a rival club supporter urging supporters behind the team.

Or am I being a tad too sophisticated for Dave from Longford?

Out of interest, what were your attendances like? And what was the fans feeling about the move?

If you picked up the Withdean stadium and plonked it in Coventry i very much doubt you would get much more than 4k. God knows what you would get if you had to endure it for over a decade like us. You would seriously struggle to get over 2,500 if i'm honest here.

Clearly just come here on the wind up rather than to have a discussion.

That is all Joy Seppala's doing. Making the fans responsible is utterly ludicrous-by keeping the club in Coventry she could have had gates over 10,000 and with a successful team to boot, maybe 15,000. At Northampton this is capped by the tiny capacity, excluding people's obvious reluctance to go.

Aren't you slightly suspicious by this?

You moved from the Goldstone, not Withdean. Furthermore the Goldstone was unusable as it had been sold for development-the Ricoh has been boycotted by the owners trying to acquire it on the cheap. The situations aren't remotely comparable so I suggest you stop embarrassing yourself with your ignorance.
