Would you be happy for the Albion to be a feeder club

For say Arsenal or Chelsea?

Upside we get some amazing players every week, probably at a much lower ticket price than now, because there would be serious money behid us.


Downside is that it wouldn't really be the Albion and that we could never get higher than the Championship..probably as I can't see promotion being permitted as a feeder club.

Is being Albion 'till you die more important than seeing quality football in Brighton albeit with another teams young stars and recovering superstars? One things for sure, the quality of football would be consistently higher, although at the moment it's pretty damn good anyway

I agree it's a no from me as well BUT we'd probably get bigger crowds even if all the Albion fans stopped going :ohmy:

There is an army of people in the Brighton surrounds who are only interested in winning high profile football who would take our places...imo

What if Falmer was turned down and it was the only way to keep the Albion in the League, would that change your minds about it?

No!

All Seagulls supporters dream of taking our place in The Premiership as soon as possible after moving into Falmer.

If we were a feeder, then goodbye Seagulls.

Would be a sad day indeed.

Feeder club would be bad and also shows limited ambition (or realism)

What might be good is building an ongoing relationship with a large Prem club. I thought it was happening with Arsenal a few years back when we got Sidwell (and a striker Graham Barratt-I think ????) on loan.

Maybe we should forge links with a non-league club so they could become OUR feeder club.

Larger crowds, better quality players etc etc etc.

Whitehawk maybe? Or Worthing?
