The irony is that they are a flute band strongly associated with the UVF who have conducted terrorism and mafia type activity. As a band they have also been at the forefront of stirring up sectarian problems at every opportunity. They just can't let it lie.
Maybe if you had witnessed the Palace lot parading up to Brighton station for the play-off semi-final and the literally hundreds of Albion trying to get at them (have a look at You Tube) you would know that organised policing prevented carnage.
I went straight to the station after the whistle from WSU and the queue looked bad at first. However, I was on a train back to Brighton after 20 mins. Whatever the moaners say that is not bad after attending a major sporting occasion. Having said that don't let me put off anyone who was...
It must be a low self esteem thing, whereby the only power you have is leave your tag everywhere to prove you exist. Message for anyone reading this who tags...your actions are pathetic, find something worthwhile to do.
"It is taking an hour to get back to Brighton station when the trains are running OK"
Blimey you must know a secret long way round to walk to Falmer Station. I never leave before the end and from WSU I have never taken an hour to get back to Brighton, even during RMT strikes. Everton last...

Hang on a minute... surely that can't be right? According to a lot of people on here the AMEX is the ONLY stadium where you have to queue for public transport after a match.
I don't know why he chose Palace but I can tell you that Sean is Irish for John and is interchangeable. Primary school age kids quickly pick-up the local accent when they are moved to another part of the world. I know I did.
This is true; I work in London and travel a lot and I can only think of one occasion in the last 25 years when I've told someone I live in Brighton and they have been negative about it. And even then it transpired she was actually talking about Shoreham where she'd worked for 2 years.
Hear hear, well said. Britain, not just Brighton is having a tough period of local government spending cuts, and homelessness is a nationwide disease. I don't pretend Brighton hasn't got issues and multi-millions of £s are needed to renovate the sea-front. But I travel round the UK a lot and...
