The thing that amazes me about that lot is the complete disregard for their history prior to moving to that ground.
It's as if they think we buy into it too and also disregard the fact that we've played them well over 100 times over the years - they have literally been at the same level as us for the majority of their history.
Then there's the apparent disregard for our struggle for a new ground, which is entirely down to the historic issues we've had from being skint. Of all the sets of supporters in the world that should understand how poor decisions from previous owners can leave you stuck in situations that are less than ideal it should be them, but no.
Then there's the weird notion that their sugar daddy is better than ours... now I'm sure those wonderfully woke folk of Brighton aren't suggesting this is because there's is English and ours is foreign but I'm not seeing much else to distinguish them.
Football is tribal. Fans are always looking at ways to differentiate themselves from the other teams. It's the bond that unites them, and many fans care more about that than whether it is true or not. It's a behaviour mirrored in all the cults across the world.
It's a yearning for identity and belonging in a world that often strips us of it. We often forget the things which unite us as different factions with love for the same sport.
That said I hope we effin smash them inbred sc*m barstewards up the road next Saturday.
