I have to disagree about there being no boycott unless you mean one that's specific to this game. There very much is a long-term boycott in progress. If you attend games maybe you only know other attendees (echo chamber style) but there are thousands of Addicks who continue to actively boycott...

Hardly. There are about 50 breweries in West Sussex and maybe five in East Sussex. Horsham and its hinterlands remain a huge brewing hotbed (Firebird, Hepworth, Kissingate, etc) and most Brighton born breweries actually brew in West Sussex (eg Hand Brew and Cloak & Dagger in Worthing, Laine in...

Reliable sources suggest you paid us a decent fee for Beadle (in the region of 700k) which will largely go towards improvements to our academy facilities in pursuit of Category1 status, so a good deal all round by the sounds of it.

Rumours now that the EFL never actually approved the takeover. Roland Duchatelet definitely still owns the stadium and training ground. New owners have an obligation to buy them off him in June but Nimer (the only one with any money) is refusing to invest anything while Southall is still...

Parliament goes into recess for a few weeks for the party conference season. This means the Commons and Lords don't sit, but other Parliamentary business (eg committees, questions to ministers, civil servant stuffs) continues. Prorogation shuts up shop completely. That's a big difference and a...

Looks like the Hemed transfer has finally gone through. Hurrah if so! https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/1318144/hemed-completes-charlton-move

Rumour is that the FA rejected it saying the paperwork was 35 seconds late. Charlton disagree and have taken it to the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) which is apparently an international tribunal type thing. Hence the delay. That's just the rumour I've heard and might well be bullshit.

Cheers. All should become clear tomorrow I guess. Hope all works out as well as possible for both Charlton and Brighton and Tomer himself.

Also if the possible "he's a Charlton player but Charlton can't play him until Jan 1st" version of deadline mishap has happened, then I assume Charlton could loan him out until Jan 1st. Given than only L1 and below are possible in England, a higher level elsewhere seems most logical. Which is...

A lot depends on what paperwork the FA think arrived late. It might be, if it's his registration for instance, that we have signed him but he can't play until January (that's happened in other deadline day cases). Given that we have the lowest wage budget in the Championship (Hemed will...

Here's a five minute guide (presented by a babbling idiot) to some of the main Brightons around the world, including most of those mentioned in this thread: https://youtu.be/nJzbLFyoQH8

City Ground is smaller (by a couple of hundred) than the Amex, as is Stadium MK. Bramall Lane and St Mary's are both about 2k larger. But see above for why I'm confident Brighton will host at least one England game.

Given that there are eight venues (Wembley only hosting the final) and four groups, presumably there will be two host venues for each group, ie three group games each. Given geography, you'd expect the groups to be: 1. Brighton and Southampton. 2. Milton Keynes and Brentford. 3. Forest and...

I believe Holler are opening a brewery there (don't know if that's in addition to their Uckfield one or instead of). The pub/bar will be attached to the brewery. Brewery tap rooms are often in non-traditional places for pubs (eg the Magic Rock one is on an industrial estate on the edge of...

Conversely, Station Road *is* in Portslade, but doesn't contain a station.

Just double checked and the strike is actually two weeks today so plenty of time for the pensioners to source other seating/toilets.

The back street just behind London Road (Elder & Providence Places) will be next to spruce itself up. A new craft beer bar (Holler) opens there in a week or two. Expect the artisanal coffee shops etc to follow.

Staff in the North Street and West Street Wetherspoons are striking on Thursday 4th October (called by the bakers union, demanding £10 an hour). The Marina and Hove ones are unaffected.

Was going to post this in the Branch Tavern thread, but perhaps it deserves its own. With most pub-related threads on NSC being about places closing down, here's some better news about three places (all craft beer focused) that are opening soon... THE NEW UNITY - opens today The former Branch...

OK, a slightly clickbaity thread title, but technically accurate. Just watched this five minute YouTube video covering some of the 50+ other Brightons (and New Brightons) around the world that are named after our one. There's a New Brighton up by Liverpool that was created in the 1830s by a...
