Good things about Withdean

[mona]

1 The old grounds at Feethams and Gay Meadow were considered the prettiest in the league. Neither of them is in the same class of sylvan beauty as the idyll that is Withdean.

2 The lack of a roof gives fair weather fans a valid excuse for missing lots of home games.

3 It is a good ground for train spotting. Only Kidderminster Harriers is better.

4 The South Stand centre is an ideal spot to abuse visiting managers like Nicky Law or Ronnie Moore.

5 The athletics track is good for parades. Why not have a vintage car rally with each vehicle driven by a topless model male or female.

6 It has provided us with the phrase, "When we get to Falmer."

7 The dressing rooms and player facilities are far better than the Goldstone.

8 It is a good excuse for a bad performance

9 it is a great excuse for big teams when they lose to us their

It is good for running, which I do twice a week there. However when the floodlights are on at night, due to it's wooded location it resembles a concentration camp.

10 It upsets an old do-gooding fraud like John Catt.

'It is good for running, which I do twice a week there, once a month.' I believe is what you actually meant.

 

[Silent Bob]

The pitch is a CARPET (most of the time).

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

It has a history of success

No, I mean twice a week. I missed two weeks. Do you remember the last time you went? I did a 10k run and you pansied around hopping up and down steps?

 

[Monkster]

It has possibly the smallest stand in the Football League? (Argus100/Internet stand?)

Can you two have a race?

Ill bed the winner

12. I live near it, which is good for evening games.

 

[Normal Rob]

it will have kept us afloat for 10 years by the time we get to Falmer.

 

[Man of Harveys]

We've won loads of stuff there, it's been the scene of some of the best occasions I've ever had as an Albion fan. Genuinely, I shall miss the place for that reason: those games against Chesterfield, Swindon etc, the Zamora era, unforgettable stuff.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

It is unique in almost every way

I remember you doing 9.6km and me doing 6km, lapping you twice. Then while I waited an age for you to finish (were you walking?) I did some plyometric training on the steps.

Ha. That is good.

LADIES... take your domestic spat elsewhere please.

11. The bogs aren't one great big freezing iceblock of piss (like at the Goldstone)
12. It's somewhere where nearly every bloke over 30 from Brighton can say they've played football at a league ground.
