Brighton enjoyed
greatest prominence
between 1979 and
1983 when they
played in the First
Division and reached
the 1983 FA Cup
Final, losing to
Manchester United
after a replay. They
were relegated from
the top division in
the same season.
Mismanagement
brought Brighton
close to relegation
from the Football
League to the
Conference which
they narrowly
avoided in 1997 and
1998. A boardroom
takeover saved
Brighton from
liquidation, and
following successive
promotions they
returned to the
second tier of
English football in
2002, from then on
playing in the
second and third
tiers of English
football until the
conclusion of the
2016–17 season,
where the club
earned promotion to
the Premier League
for the first time
in their history on
17 April 2017. This
marked the end of a
34-year absence from
the top flight of
English football for
Brighton.. (ref: Wikipedia)
