Oh dear, oh dear. Ms Swallow demonstrates the blindness of the rabid football fan who feels the world really does revolve around their club (August 25).

To suggest Brighton and Hove is more famous for the Albion than anything else and that mention of Brighton and Hove to most people makes them add "Albion" is bizarre.

I consider myself a great supporter but let's not get carried away.

We are and have for most of our existence been a lower division club.

A Cup Final and aggro over the ground does not a national institution make.
