Poll - Where the hell were you ?

[smudge]

Sorry, some of us do have lives in the close season, my missus puts up with me away EVERY Saturday Home or Away, so I return that respect by spending the close season with her, regardless of pre saeson friendlies etc etc.

I DONT need to make excuses to anyone

Oh no, because I was there on the seafront with some pals, cheering my team & having a couple of the jars on the seafront; generally enjoying being from Brighton....I haven't got a life!!!

Under the thumb!!! (Does she know you're on the PC?)

 

[Beach Hut]

Nor do I, believe it or not there was a choice and it was free

erm, I didnt say anyone didnt have a life, and those on here who know me will tell you that I am certainly not under the thumb, I also know that I had a much better time than trudging down to the seafront, but if any of my mates had been up for a few beers I would have tagged along, funnily enough they were all doing other things

Well why didn't you just say that without all the matcho 'bunging one in the missus'.

That doesn't sound very respectful at all.

It appears some Albion fans have " celebration parade fatigue ". I cannot be people could not be bothered to turn out to applaude and celebrate our promotion to div 1. Maybe its all a bit old hat now after 2 previous parades !.

This could be the last parade for a long time, god forbid. Surely Heaven and Earth on BBC 1 was not more attractive than cheering on your hero's ?.

Under the thumb you pussy!!!!

 

[Rougvie]

OK, if under the thumb is a girlfriend who is happy that I am at football every saturday normally appearing wasted at 1 in the morning after an away game, and who was more than happy that my summer holidays were spent in Portugal with the lads at England games then I'm under the thumb !

I love it

 

[Brighton Breezy]

As I said I think the reason so many turned out for the last two was that they couldnt get tickets for the games so the parade was their chance to say 'well done' and what have you.

Because basically anyone who wanted to go could go to Cardiff, the celebrations were after the game and everyone said their thank yous during the laps of honour.

 

[Thimble Keegan]

I could not be arsed to go and see them show off the trophy that we do not deserve. I believe you should not get a trophy for winning the play-offs as winning promotion is reward enough.

Even in the build-up to the Worthing game the leaflet they put out was saying they were playing against the "Play-Off Champions"...What is all that about? We obtained promotion, that is all is should be.

Albion & England forever.

Actually Heaven and Earth had a piece on Brighton today

 

[berkshire seagull]

Busy scratching my arse
Complete waste of time anyway so long after as the turn out shows.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I've got bloody stupid pink and glowing forearms now, thanks to the unforecast blazing sunshine & freely available Grolsch at the al fresco tables outside the Volks tavern. Damn Dick Knight and his all too frequent Victory Parades

[Rougvie]

Now you see, if I knew you were there to buy me that pint you owe me Tom, then I probably would have made the effort.

 

[Yorkie]

Blame the council. They were the ones who wanted to give the team a civic reception.

Btw Rougvie, it is possible to do both.....

 

[Strike]

I went to the parade, I would say it was 2000 as well. Knights and McGhee speechs were world class.

 

[b.w.2.]

I was there... seemed very low key in comparison to the last 2... still, enough there to avoid complete embarrassment for the club... needed to be straight after the final, IMHO... else, loses it's impact...

My guess = 2,500 in attendance...

 

[Rougvie]

Yorkie, believe me I did try to round up the usual suspects but NOBODY seemed that bothered, and I dont really blame them, most of us were in Portugal, and then on the road with Sussex CCC, in fact this year has been a non stop sports fest.

The main thing really is that we will all be there home and away week in week out when the season does start, busness as usual eh Yorkie !!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i was working

I was there right from King's House through to Madeira Drive and thouroughly enjoyed it despite the rain. I also have to agree with a lot of the sentiments echoed above about the speeches, I thought they were excellent, although "I have a dream" is perhaps best not paraphrased for something that although very important to all of us, is still only a game

Too right Roug. See ya there
