On Saturday, My School Are Taking A Group of Year 7's to See Charlton

[1066gull]

My P.E. department of my college, Heathfield Community College are taking a group of year 7's (I think. don't no much about how many and who are going) to Charlton vs. Middelsbrough.

I find this a disgrace and insult to the Albion.

Heathfield, the High Weald of East Sussex is well known for it's beauty of forest woodland and open countryside. You would think that any school would be proud to support the Albion as Brighton are the only professional football club in the Football League in East Sussex.

Why is it multi-million Premiership teams get all the publicity and support when clubs like us, Wrexham, Rotherham and Maccelsfield are dying out for support?

The Albion do everything they can to help the community. I find it a complete disgrace and farce that they cannot be rewarded and that a well-known town in our county cannot even bother to follow its major sporting team.

I beat these Year 7's will be pikies after they have seen the game.

I am considering making a complaint agaisnt my college on behalf of the Albion as I don't think it is right.



What do you lot think about this?

 

[Lander]

Chill out, do you really want to see them?

Dont be so cheap wanting to come to a match for free

 

[Edward Scissorhands]

How's Liousa?

 

[Robot Chicken]

Put this to Insider! These kids are potential supporters of the future.

 

[Bakesy]

I understand the school refused to let you go with them as you were too immature.....

 

[shingle]

An absolute disgrace.

You can't let it go A. Youve got to make a complaint. Else where will it all end. Trips up to smellhurst for Lewes Priory students

 

[1066gull]

Will post it for the fans phone-in!

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

I totally agree with you.

Ive done a few school trips to Albion games even though the school I work at is in Essex, this gives them the idea that football exists outside the premiership. They may not turn out to be Albion fans, but it will hopefully affiliate them to the local teams in the area, such as Southend, Grays, Canvey

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

You've got a point for once, although I can't exactly blame them.

Very sad. There used to be a coach from Heathfield that took supporters to the Goldstone Ground I seem to recall.

.. and Heathfield is an extremely easy place to get to the Withdean from.

Yeh, it is so easy to get to Brighton from Heathfield because you go to Lewes, than on to Brighton.

I have emailed Harty and Seagulls World and hope to get Dick Kinght's thoughts excatly!

Good on you 1066, I think you should do something about this.

 

[London Irish]

Accommodating large school parties is exactly the kind of thing that the new stand can give us. I'll be surprised if we don't make a big push on this kind of thing next season.

I would suggest that 1066, rather than get into pointless fulminations and grandstanding on phone-ins about this, should instead find out the name of the organisers of the Heathfield visit and just have a quiet diplomatic word with them, filling them in on the details of the new stands and how the Albion are already doing reductions for large parties of kids, and give them the name of the Albion contact who organised the type of visit that Beach Hut organised for his young charges.

It's not such a loud approach 1066, but I think will be more effective for the Albion's cause.

Agreed.

F**k me - I just agreed with LI


Going for a lie down.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I think it is a complete disgrace, Go on 1066 complain about it.

 

[The Large One]

No, go and do something about it. You've identified a problem, now go find a solution. Complaining gets nowhere.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

They won't see a match on Saturday as its being played on Sunday.

I totally agree mate.

Preston North End Started giving out free season tickets to under 8's a couple of seasons ago. The club worked out this is the best age to get new fans before they start following the crowd of Man U and Liverpool etc. If we get them through the turn styles at this age, we should retain a good percentage of them.

It has been very succesful and now the football league is encouraging other clubs to do the same.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

We're always going to be limited on how many tickets we can give away free while we're at Withdean, so it's just another example of how the club is slowly dieing until we get Falmer.
