Elphick, Barry and a couple of others come to mind that we let slip through our fingers. However, being in the higher echelons of pro football and having the best facilities makes me think we'll keep them now, in a Southampton type way (what we should aspire too).
The way I see it, ok, just an opinion, is that blood a youngster in the Prem and he'll only ever know the Prem. He may step up and say, shit this is easy. I do agree he could do a season in the Championship, but I am finding us Brighton supporters getting heavily defensive on our options for...
Good points, well made, however there still has to be a point when you go for it. Whether Prem (Div 1) or League 2 (Div 4), you have to know when it is time to blood a newbie. We have no idea, he could be a sensation in the Prem, but unless he gets the chance we'll end up buying someone with a...

Actually that reminds me of a time we were going to take a Sally Line from Ramsgate but they closed the port due to a force 10 storm warning, could see a ferry anchored off the coast as it was to stormy to come into port, so we went down to Dover and caught a ferry from there, I have to say it...
Following on from the Crap BH Weather, what are the worst storms you've been caught up in?
Three for me come to mind. The first being the same as most and the 'hurricane' in October 87.
1984 on the Costa Brava (Lloret), where a cloudburst went on for about 20/30 minutes and totally flooded the...
I'm a little disturbed, I can categorically admit he married me in a gay wedding. OK he wasn't there, but the thought counts. He's a bigamist! (and a legend... I forgive him)
He was the man we were allegedly getting our Scummers v Spurs updates from on the gantry when we beat Blackpool 2-1 in 1978. Everyone was saying someone had taken the lead and we were all looking up to the commentary box for guidance. A loud cheer came up, Nobby asked us at a corner what the...
