    Should TB have waited before he expanded the capacity of the Amex?

    Thank you for clearing it up. There is a depreciation charge over a period of time that counts towards then? Would it be beneficial therefore to start ASAP so the depreciation charge reduces whilst FFP comes in? Or would it have been more prudent financially to have waited? Personally I...

    Should TB have waited before he expanded the capacity of the Amex?

    Will our £8mill loss last year and a probable loss this year be mainly made up of investments in new seats and the training ground? If all the infrastructure can be built and paid for in the next couple of years whilst FFP comes in we will see the long term benefits. I'm sure costs have been...

    Albion Update

    Most of the statement is well written and honest feedback. The membership scheme worries me though. Watching the Albion as a non STH will cost me £20-£40 before I've got one ticket? The current system works well, the points system rewards those going to games. I have 105 points this season...

    Why Don't You Support England?

    Spot on. Grass roots need to be really good. But would the Premier League allow a change to aid the national team? I doubt it.

    Why Don't You Support England?

    England football games - will watch but not fussed, especially in a friendly England rugby games - brilliant, players are 100% passionate, it is all about team work and pride and the country Although I exclude the last game of the 2013 Six Nations, that was painful, my (Welsh) wife was sat...

    Why Don't You Support England?

    I'll always support England and want them to do well but they (players, managers, FA) make it really hard. Some say there is an impression of club before country amongst players. They say the Premier League is everything and England duty is seen as a sideline and something else to do. But...

    The Badger Cull

    First thought was for the cull; if they present a problem and there is a serious threat then deal with it - are they endangered? But looking into the stats 70% of badger population is incredibly high and there doesn't seem to be any scientific proof behind the reasoning for doing it. It may even...

    F.A Cup

    Gives Palace a bit too much respect. Both teams matched each other with Palace better when it counted. Wouldn't be a massive shock if we played them and won. Same if the roles were reversed.

    If you know your history, tours of the Withdean

    Agreed. Made me smile. Are we getting a bit too sensitive? Cheer up, it's not as if we are manager less and have no clue what is happening at the club. Oh.

    How to win a play-off semi home leg (and come from behind!): Brighton v Millwall (30 mins)

    Wow. Flashback. Thank you very much. This has made my weekend. Those ridiculously long 3/4 length looking shirts. Shell suits everywhere in the crowd. An Albion win after being a goal down. Not bottling it. Going for the jugular and not just sitting back for a one goal lead. The TVS theme...

    Michael Gove and the teachers

    Apology accepted. A lot of problems the teaching profession has is the common misconceptions by the public. The current government is doing a very good job at demonising the profession but also demanding more. Educational standards in Nov 2012 put the UK in 6th ahead of USA, France and Germany...

    Michael Gove and the teachers

    I've been fortunate to have attended his talk for writing seminars which have been inspiring. The Sad Book is very powerful. Rosen is worth following on twitter.

    Was David Beckham the last playing pro to have played at The Goldstone?

    He may also have played at the county cricket ground circa 1898 when we known as Brighton United.

    Michael Gove and the teachers

    A cynic might say that his curriculum is so bad that schools then opt to become an academy. We are recently become an academy and have noticed no difference apart from the fact we can ignore the new curriculum should we wish. On the subject of academies; it is a labour policy so not new but I...

    Michael Gove and the teachers

    We are 6th in world ahead of USA, Germany and France according to international reports. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/education-20498356 However I completely agree about nursery numbers and the failure to engage a profession. Regarding graduates and their ignorance I couldn't comment but I...
