OK, haven't got a clue about the Withdean. Are there any pubs near the ground? And is there a shop where you can purchase drinks, cigarettes and perhaps the odd confectionary item?
Yes it's about 200m from the train station but about a mile if you go by road. I too have vague memories of childhood visits.
Wigan and Reading. 6 points. Especially when the travelling Alex are in full voice tomorrow night, a repeat of last year's last minute winner will be SWEEEEEEEEET.
OK, in between insulting Brighton fans and trainspotting I've been playing the new PES4.
It's bloody brilliant ain't it!
Anyone who says FIFA is better must be having a larf.
WHAT???
That was a fantastic show. Do you know I actually watched it all to see if Crewe would get a mention (we're not very famous you see) and we got one brief mention for about 5 seconds?
Pete Waterman actually runs a railway museum in Crewe, it literally must get about 20 visitors a year...
Yeah but the 12:23 FROM Edinburgh left at....12:23.
Will be arriving in Crewe in only a matter of minutes.
(looks up at Pete Waterman poster with the famous man caressing a 1930s steam train - how I can get those stains off the sheets he wonders?)
Nah seriously going to have to go.
The 12:23 from Edinburgh comes past the window in a minute and I need to go and have a look 'cos it's the only number missing from my collection.

Ummmmm.....I came on here to rescue my reputation as the utimate football writer in Britain.
Yet now, as I depart to brigther shores, I leave looking like a blubbering, prejudiced fool.
RE: Crewe fans - don't worry they never agree with me.
Retraction. You're having a laugh!
Shall I retract:

this as well.
See I can look at both sides of the coin. Just because I have a strong opinion about the behaviour of some of your fans doesn't mean I don't like the club...
Homophobic chants? Crewe fans?
Nah, never.
(Can you accept my deepest apologies for what was a typically controversial report - already had complaints for being a homophobe, wishing Wigan chairman was dead etc? I'll be travelling down to the Withdean soon and would not like to be beaten up by...
OK apologies.
Thought I heard a few people being racist but you seem to have it covered.
We have had similar problems before unfortunately (Walsall (A) last year - chants of BNP could be heard towards the Asian linesman who had made a series of terrible errors).
Perhaps the sweeping...
Obviously my sense of direction is not as good as my famous literary talent. I mean I sit in the far left of the stand behind the goal (far right as you look at it).
Uncle Buck - 2 messages up someone even admits there was racist shouting. I heard it, at least 3 of the people I was with heard...
Hi, it's Jon here off the Crewe site. I would like to clear a couple of things up because of the unnecessary abuse over my report.
I've followed Albion's plight for years (see article I wrote on site). As such I suppose I expected you all to be a group of 'fun' fans enjoying the day out...
