It'll be late, it's got to get out of Arundel first.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Time to get over it already. We've all moved on.

 

[Gazwag]

So all the "convoy to ......" bits are presumably when its in cars/lorries/whatever, if that's true, how crap is that going to be

I'm finding it a LOT easier, now that the Amex is a reality.

Yeah, that really should have put an end to it really - you don't need to forget or even forgive what went on, but really we're in a better position all round now than anyone could have ever dreamed of, and if it took all the pain to get there, then it was probably worth it.

I'm not sure about this bit. Plenty of clubs have moved home whilst maintaining their fan base and natural levels of success. We've spent 15 years slumming it with Orient and Gillingham, who don't come close to the size of our fan base. Meanwhile, a club like Middlesbrough (who haven't been much bigger than us down the years) and Fulham (even smaller) have got to UEFA cup finals and had some cracking seasons along the way.

True, it's not a route we would have chosen, but given we are where we are, it was worth it now, no ?

So will you be organising a protest about allowing Dow Chemicals to be a sponsor?

After all, for a split second, your house will be the focus of the world's attention. Well, the handful of people who are watching the torch relay, anyway.

Everyone here thinks it's bad, but when I saw the post, I thought it was good, thinking we'd be outside singing Brighton songs, like the old days.

They have to do that to get it round the entire country in time for the games.

Me too! Hosepipe ban may get broken me thinks!

 

[Mendoza]

Its going past my house on Monday morning, my mums on Monday afternoon and my work on Tuesday afternoon. 3 chances to get a glimpse

 

[Postman Pat]

I assumed the torch bearers would be a mix of sports people/celbrities and nominated people from the local area, but in Brighton and Hove there are people from Northampton, Preston, France and Germany!!

I had visions of Fat Boy Slim passing it on to Gus then to Mike Yardy, Chris Eubank, Steve Ovett, Sally Gunnell, interspersed with 62 year old Peter Witcomb from Brighton and 12 year old Freddy Mouland from Peacehaven etc..

Not Guerchet Gaelle from Malville, Isabelle Bailly from Argenteuil or Steffen Trautmann from Erfurt
