Central Brighton to Falmer?

Yeah, the Hikers is a proper Albion pub.

I've just come back from the Swan which has some lovely beers on at the moment but makes its feelings clear with a "no football" sign over the bar.

Takes me between 35-45 minutes to walk from town (western road/churchill square area) to "higher bevendean". Used to take me about 15-20 minutes to walk to school (falmer), so if you're a pacy walker, about an hour is right.

I am so looking forward to drinking in there at some point around the Falmer opening. The landlord may well bar me as I talk football/Albion at his bar, but only after I have predicted his leaving in the near future.

His establishment may well come under offer from a proper businessmen/landlord, or under siege from football fans wanting a drink.

How long will he last?

Haven't any of you idle buggers got a thing called a bike - straight up the Lewes Road or a lovely glide down from the Downs Hotel.

ER. There's a bit of the Tour de France route to get up from The Downs first.

I rode up Ditchling Beacon to get to the last home game at Withdean !

Think you need to read up on past history of threads on the Swan and the Owner,

He does not need to sell beer to make a living like most landlords, he owns it, bought and paid for, so now runs it more like a hobby.
Its his business and he runs how’s he want to like a "proper businessmen/landlord"

Agree it you or I had it we would want to maximise it potential for full financial gain.

But he does not need or want that.
His Pub , his decision.

As for it "under siege from football fans wanting a drink" WTF This is Brighton, not Milwall or West Ham.
