THE Twitter account of Brighton has mysteriously been deactivated.
And it has left fans making the same joke.
When attempting to find the club’s Twitter page, the handle @OfficialBHAFC apparently does not exist.
And after another huge purchase from the club, fans have joked that Chelsea have added another piece of Brighton to their club.
One fan said: “Chelsea even buying Brighton’s twitter now 😭.”
A second wrote: “[Todd] Boehly bought Brighton Twitter 😂.”

“Chelsea submit £50m for Brighton’s twitter account. Medical booked for Thursday after admin rejected Liverpool proposal,” joked a third.
A fourth said: “Caicedo, Mac Allister, now Brighton’s Twitter gone…”
Brighton later got their account back and celebrated with a gif of manager Roberto De Zerbi going wild on the touchline.
Chelsea signed Moises Caicedo from Brighton for a British transfer record of £115million earlier this week.

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez also made the move to Stamford Bridge this summer for the sum of £25m.
There was a mass exodus of Seagulls staff when Graham Potter was appointed Blues boss last September, with Billy Reid, Bruno, Bjorn Hamberg, goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts and assistant head of recruitment Kyle Macaulay joining him in the capital.
Head of player recruitment Paul Winstanley then left two months later to become co-sporting director at Chelsea.
Marc Cucurella also joined Chelsea from Brighton last year and is now a Newcastle loan target.
