Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Withdean Park — The entry states Brighton changed their crest 'the following season' (2011–12) to a design similar to the crest used from the 1970s to the 1990s. In reality, the 2011–12 crest was a new modernized version, not a return to the older design; the club did not ado

Withdean Park — The entry claims the crest change was 'to reflect on the club returning home after not having a stadium since 1997.' This is an invented claim; the actual reason for the 2011–12 crest change was to modernize the club's image ahead of the move to the Amex.

The Amex — The STATS section lists capacity as 'Approximately 30,750', but the current capacity is 32,176, and the INTRO/TAGLINE state 32,176, creating a contradiction.

Guy Butters — Guy Butters is alive, not deceased.

Guy Butters — His playing career extended into the early 2000s, not just to the 1990s.

Clive Allen — The entry lists 'Home Stadium=Withdean Stadium' for Clive Allen, but he never played for Brighton & Hove Albion and Withdean Stadium is not associated with any of his clubs.

Owen Coyle — Coyle's FA Cup win was in 2013 with Wigan Athletic, but he was not the manager at the time; he managed Wigan in the 2012–13 season but was sacked in December 2012, before the FA Cup final. The achievement is misattributed to him.

Owen Coyle — The 'DID YOU KNOW' entry about playing for Burnley Reserves in 2009 at age 42 is false: Coyle was the manager of Burnley in 2009, and there is no record of him playing for the reserves that year.

Joe Kinnear — The 'STATS' section lists Kinnear's nationality as 'Northern Irish', but he was born in Dublin and played for the Republic of Ireland, so his nationality should be Irish.

Joe Kinnear — The 'STATS' section lists his tenure as 'January 1981 – December 1982', but Kinnear never managed Brighton & Hove Albion, so this tenure is factually incorrect.

Amex Stadium — The first competitive match at the stadium was the Football League Championship game against Doncaster Rovers on 6 August 2011, not the Sussex Senior Cup final.

Amex Stadium — The current record attendance at the Amex is 31,876, set against Manchester City on 20 August 2022, not 31,872 against Luton Town on 12 August 2023.

Sid Wetherall — The entry is entirely about Sidney Moncrief, a basketball player, but the requested topic is 'Sid Wetherall' in the context of Brighton and Hove Albion club history. This is a complete misattribution of subject and has no connection to the correct canon.
