43rd biggest club in the country

[Mid Sussex Royal]

But traditionally Brighton have ALWAYS been a bigger club than Reading - which is the point here.

That is just plain wrong

Following wise Brighton have slightly more fans but that is down to geography more than anything else - they were not massively followed in the past whatever their fans claim - I've seen Reading play at the Goldstone in front of 5000 fans.

Traditionally Brighton and Reading have been in the same league evidenced by the fact that we have played them more than any other league side bar a couple and as Ian Royal pointed Reading have certainly had more success over the last 20 odd years.

Their catchment radius isn't great to the south...
