So Oldham said it was 6522 did they? Utter balls... Soccernet reckons Boundary Park's capacity is aboce 13000... the ground was more than two-thirds full! If you're going to try that one on (and I'm not saying we've never been guilty of it... remember when the first two games at the Priestfield...

Re: Humiliation... It's fairly patent we're "concentrating on the championship" this year. Mushy's agent has probably asked for him not to be played in one dayers, and Kirtley probably asked for a rest. It'd be a bugger if they both broke fingers in a Sunday League game and we finished fifth...

In fairness to Peter M, who taught me to play cricket when he was Sussex's reserve keeper and I was in primary school, he is one of the best-qualified coaches in the country, a genuinely top bloke and as Sussex through-and-through as you can get when you come from Macclesfield!

Gotta disagree there. I think Toksvig's very funny. I'm afraid it's a straight fight between these two:

Findon's a cracking ground, too... next to a pub if I recall correctly, and for anorakky scorer types like me, a fabbo electronic scoreboard and the best teas in Sussex, with the exception possibly of Burgess Hill. If I wasn't 350 miles north I'd go along! (note to self - must start a "best...

I think you're confusing constipation with compensation.

A Japanese couple come to London on holiday, and change some money at Heathrow Airport when they arrive. A few days later, they've run out of cash, so go to a bureau de change at Piccadilly Circus got get some more sterling. The man is angry when the rate he is offered isn't half as good. "Why...

Try www.flybmi.com for flights from Heathrow to Manchester. I flew in the opposite direction for the Palace game last season and managed to get a flight for about 60 quid. It might be cheaper if you book earlier.

I hope to be there. I'll be the one singing Tinx's Chris McPhee song and trying to claim credit for it myself :D

Ah, you'd be referring to Charity Muggers, or "chuggers", as they're lovingly known -- AKA the London Road Guilt Gauntlet. I have devised a cunning system of fobbing them off. From a distance, spot which charity they're mugging for that day. It's generally printed large on their bibs. They...

Not Albion-related at all, but I once pissed next to Rory Bremner in the toilets at Arundel Castle cricket ground during some sort of charity match. I was sorely tempted, when he was finished, to put on a Richie Benaud voice and say: "What a marvellous delivery that was", but I didn't. (Other...

Does former socialist turned Tony Crony "schmokin'" Steve Bassam post on here then? Is that who Mullers is?

They're trying considerably harder than Archer and Bellotti, whose efforts amounted to three A4 sheets and a map with some felt-tip pen on it.

I dunno, I think St Paul's Cathedral's quite a nice building...

MULLERS IS A TWAT. JUST f*** OFF, MULLERS

What, the bloke who plays cricket for Kent? If you'll forgive me for getting a bit Mohammed Fayed about this, I think we're witnessing the start of an enormous cover-up. It wouldn't suprise me if Alastair Campbell or one of his cronies had driven into the Oxfordshire countryside and coshed poor...

Jason Peake? Hahahahaha. One of my first, and favourite away trip memories was Rochdale (who had just sold Peake) away midweek in 1996-7, when we gathered outside the ground with Dale fans afterwards. They were singing "Archer's bumming Peakey"; and "Archer is a nipple". Good work Lancastrian...

I think Mullers is Greg Stanley.

Maybe that makes him slightly lacking in business acumen and foresight about the economic climate in football (and how many football chairmen suffer those traits??) Wankers try and profit from the collapse of a club and the sale of its ground. I'm now going to the pub, and I'm not going to...

God almighty. Say Dick resigns tomorrow (I assume he'll ask for his investment back) Who takes over the running of the club and the entire Falmer process? Martin Perry is already the world's busiest man, so I can't see him coping with the extra work for much longer. Yes, he's made mistakes...
