Has anyone got a photo of the original? It didn’t make sense then and it doesn’t make sense now. Wasn’t it a weird dig about money and modern football or something?

Yeah, it made sense, but it was probably harsh to single them out for selling out given all they'd been through and football in general.

Rule #1: Know your audience. Very oddly misplaced. Lot of effort too, anyone know who made it?
I do. I did a piece at the time, for the column in the paper rather than on here, if I remember rightly, getting their side of the story, but anonymously as it led to a fair bit of bad feeling. Probably unfair of me to break that confidence.

I actually couldn't really see the fuss.
It was just intended as bit of light-hearted ribbing.

No, I thought some of the reaction was over the top too. I think from their side it was mainly as they'd had such a struggle to get from virtual disappearance to where they were that it was a little insensitive to have pop at them for selling out re the Amex sponsorship.

It was all a bit bizarre but in fairness we found something which really triggered Brighton fans that wasn't homophobic
For that, I commend our fans

I was at that game albeit in the adjacent stand with Brighton fans, my son lives in Brighton and was given two tickets. Everybody around me thought it was amusing. They had the last laugh, we got stuffed and the only person sitting down whilst they made merry was yours truly.

The double-negative knocked all sense out of it, for me: "Football isn't one of the things money can't buy."
So... football is one of the things money can buy? Everyone already know that, right? So what exactly was their point?
It was a reference to the Mastercard ad at the time about things money can't buy, football - as exemplified by the Amex, according to the banner - not being one of them. Clunky and, as you say, not something unique to Brighton.
