Mr Optimist I dont know that they are, more obsessed with their former manager a bit like some on here. Most comments I saw seemed very sensible and they can see similarities with our rise since our move to Madejski stadium with their recent progress after moving to the Amex. Large catchment areas etc....could also draw parallels with Cardiff as well but we are mentioned because of the links with Poyet in March. I tend to agree with them.
I think deep down, although they won't admit it, they see us as a similar sized club with a model they should be following. Personally, I have no particular beef with Brighton other than the swaggering, bloated arrogance of their fans.
Interested in one of the comments which stating that in 5 years when they get their academy up and running and bedded in, they'll be a better prospect. Do they not realise we have CAT1? If that's an accurate assessment of where their academy is then that's another area where they are 10 years behind us.
