[Mr Burns]

Where can I find them? They aren't on the County League website yet.

While not sussex, another non-league team spending shitloads are Croydon Athletic. Safest Bet on winning Ryman Div 1 South this season!!

They were in the Sussex Express I think.

Thanks Mr B.

Who does Matt Russell play for nowadays? I used to go to school with him and remember him banging in the goals for quite a few local sides.

he started last season at burgess hill, then moved to hassocks but left when john suter was sacked towards the end of october - i think he ended last season at worthing united

very much one of those players who seems to follow a manager around wherever he goes - suter is now at littlehampton, so wouldnt be suprised if he has turned up there

All with a view to becoming 'Brighton's second biggest team'.

For many years until a few seasons ago, Whitehawk were the biggest club in Brighton. Quite astonishing for a town of 160,000.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

surely they're currently brightons second biggest team?

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Possibly for the two seasons we were at Gillingham?

depends on how you view peacehaven and telscombe!

dont let the 'City of Brighton and Hove' Khmer Rouge-like Year Zero mob hear you say things like that!

I might watch a game or two if I can.

Nope, third, you can't forget Fishersgate!

 

[Spun Cuppa]

If you addressed three postcards to...

****
Fishersgate
Brighton

or

****
Peacehaven & Telscombe
Brighton

or

****
Whitehawk
Brighton


I wonder which one would confuse the PO least?

Thanks. Still banging them in or has he lost his pace?

he did reasonably well when he was playing at hassocks - in fairness, he is probably good enough for upper county one, lower ryman as his record shows. unfortunately, he does very much appear to be the sort of player who just follows a manager around knowing he will play, and as such probably wont test himself any higher up the pyramid

Shame. I think he had a trial at Brighton at some point. He was part of the victorious side that beat Bolton Grammar at Craven Cottage in The Boodle and Dunthorne Schools Cup. I think it was only Frampton that went on to make it as a professional (Palace, Brentford, currently Millwall).

...was that while we were still at the Goldstone...which as everyone knows was in Hove actually!

Er, that is a VERY good point

 

[Hove Lagoonery]

Ah, the penny has dropped.

Although I thought Fishersgate wasn't even in the same county as Brighton, Redev. And that Whitehawk badge looks distinctly dodgy.......
