I saw them playing the other week, it all looks a bit sad and tbh they need the practice... And it's a public park with THREE courts!!

In a seperate subject, anyone know why the floodlights at Saunders Park (Opposite the Bus Garage on Lewes Road) stayed on through the night a month ago, but now go off at 10pm? Was them staying on a mistake by someone somewhere? Midnight football was literally glorious, and we'd like to follow it up (I lost), but the lights appear to be out every night now. This was a sunday night/monday morning I'm talking about.

Couldn't you have kicked them off their bikes ?

How dare a member of the public use a public facility? Get up earlier next time and get there before the Labour supporting oikes.

Any reason why hockey had a capital H? Anyway I'm sure we will read all about it soon in your blog, bloody cyclists.

So I take it you are an adult? So if it is a kiddies playground what are YOU doing having a kick about with your kids surely it should have been just the kids whilst you watched.

Place - Preston Park
Days and Times:
Wednesday - 5pm ... 3 on 3 throw in

And there's a website here:-

Brighton Hardcourt Bike Polo Association

[alan partridge]
