What tremendous news that a group of local Albion supporters are backing the move to buy out Bill Archer's shareholding in the club.

He was the man whose actions nearly destroyed the Albion in the Nineties and if it had not been for community-minded people, supported from the start by The Argus and, later, by most of the national Press, he might have got away with it.

One of Mr Archer's problems was that he had no interest in or understanding of the community of Brighton and Hove.

How appropriate, then, that people from that community are involved in finally closing this chapter in the Albion's history.
