He hates us and we hate him. Doesnt anyone remember 2005 with the penalty reaction, and then celebrating to our fans in the 4 - 1 Fratton defeat. Shall we sign Roy Keane whilst were at it.

He's bought one sleeve? Are you allowed to do that?

Are you that fat bastard who used to be at the beginning of match of the day when we were in the prem?

It does have one big stand but the others are like this. I live here and all you hear about from them is how modern and great their stadium is and how our ground has no character and is the same as all the others (eg derby, leicester etc). They will never get the atmosphere we do, not with that design.

more pics You can just about see the back of one of the shirts.

Im not saying anyone is making me. All I'm saying is I'm peraonally not choosing to buy a shirt that I only think is OK if its for 1 year. I would however spend the money if I was buying something that was the latest shirt for 2 years. I would only buy a 1-year shirt if I really liked it (like the sash). Indeed I'll be wearing the sash to games next season

Then im not buying it. Dont mind spending 45 sheets on a shirt that is the latest for 2 years.

This second shirt is one of my favourites. Its first outing was happy memories - last home game before the cup final. It's last outing was somewhat different.

Is this kit for one year only?

Not a massive fan. Dont hate it though.

Not overly impressed. Dont hate it though.

Hands up who keeps pressing F5 on the OS.

I thought you cant buy it until tomorrow.

F*ck sake. Theres me offering to get the kids up, give them their milk whilst the wife has a lie in, only so I can go down stairs and check out the new kit on the puta. Where is it?

people dont have to get their kids both shirts just coz their kids want them. When I was a boy I only ever got a Saints shirt as a birthday present. If people wanna spoil their kids and just give in to their demands thats their problem. As a parent it winds me up when other parents shower their kids with stuff as some kind competition with other parents. That said, I might get my one year old a mini kit.

My 2 year old crapped on my old 2010 calendar yesterday that was sitting next the recycling. Straight onto Fonte's face it was. I would say thats poor judgement from the boy.

It has changed. They have replaced the "125" thing with a football.

Actually I live in Patcham which is pretty middle-classish. Yeah im fed up with the Albion fans harping on about their new ground. Its got one big stand but the other 3 just remind me of Orient's or Colchester's grounds. Theyre far too cocky considering where they were before Bloom came along. Get to a few games a season - about 6 or 7 last season and 2 away games (strangely Orient & Colchester)

I was born and bred in Sussex and all my brothers support Brighton. I always wanted to be different and this was no more true at the age of 7 when deciding what team to support. I remember my mum saying "why not Southampton", my elder Brighton fan brother said "yeah theyve just signed keegan". I looked at a picture of the kit, and decided that was the team for me. My next birthday present was the Rank Xerox kit and the rest is history.

In the prem we were happy to pay £32 to £38 for a ticket and everything was more expensive. The one silver lining of our fall from grace since 2005 has been the cheaper ticket prices. As we go back up the leagues and generally become successful again, obviously thing become dearer. Anyway, if theyre bringing in this rule where clubs can only spend what they make, surely prices like this need to be increased so its not a sudden increase when the rule comes in. How easy is it to get a beer in this Dell bar? Is there enough staff etc

I remember being excited when Kevin Phillips signed. First time since Keegan I remember us signing a big prem name. Little did I know he would be a misfiring t0sser.

They were sh1te coz they had already won the league. One point I will make though is they have lost 2 pivotal players in Murray in Bennett whilst we have gone the summer without any real loss. So they have made some strong signings whilst we havent, we still have Lambo, AL, Fonte, Spiderman etc and even if we were to lose AOX to Arsenal or whateverm that would spark some serious spending.

Fair play to Brighton. Theyve had it bad for so long. All my family and a lot of my friends support them and to think where they were in the late nighties. I might stroll down to their new bizarre looking stadium this coming season for an evening game or 2. I think the difference between us and them is they are trying to make a statement here. They have one guy at the helm who is definitely doing a Jack Walker and enjoying himself in the process. We are being far more careful and wont pay silly money nor wages - were just slow but surely following our 5 year Premiership plan.

The Brighton owner has spent 90mil of his own cash on their new stadium. Who knows what wages they were offering him?

You cant blaim NA or even NC for this. Theyre not gonna pursue a player who doesnt want to play for us.
