The Case For Them
Here is the argument for Brighton U21: England, England EFL Trophy, and a ground called Broadfield Stadium. A second team should give you something your first one cannot, and this is a different country's whole weather system.
Old enough to matter
1898 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.
Nothing won, everything to play for
The trophy cabinet is a shelf and a rumour. Supporting Brighton U21 is a bet on a first, not a return to former glories.
Close to the pitch
Broadfield Stadium holds about 6,135. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
You get a nickname
Known as The Seagulls, The Albion. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
