The bizarre thing is (and perhaps this thread has already covered this), when the club first engaged the fans on this, there was - at best - lukewarm ambivalence. Possibly on the back of the thought that 'well, it will never happen, so what's the point?'.
Given that the discussion has moved on...
As the opening pages says, Brighton & Hove City Council owns 12,800 acres of open Downland.
Some of it is for crop farming, some of it for arable farming, some of it open downland, some of it meadow and so on.
The council simply wants input from the public as to how to use this downland more...
Both of us fully recognise the privilege we have in attending the games in the 'Press Box'.
However, it is an odd, surreal experience. For me, the WSU concourse should be host to a lively, passionate cathedral of conversation and anticipation before the game, and a forum of debate afterwards...
How good?
The ball control of Victorian prisoner bound for Australia
The range of passes of Glenn Hoddle
The skill and co-ordination of a murmuration through an Autumn sunset over the Palace Pier
The foot of a traction engine
The style of finest Americana

No such thing as the 'woke generation'. That's a phrase fabricated by people to angry too articulate how much they hate anti-racism, anti-homophobia etc.
The whole notion of people being offended at anything and everything is also a media creation, usually using hyperbole in their vocabulary -...
I don't recall Cleo becoming a more major character until book three or four. If she was in earlier, there was certainly no hint at luuurve. Also, if she was in the first book, given the time constraints, it is a plot device that can wait for the TV series.
My concern - assuming they film the...
Jury's Inn doesn't have a penthouse balcony.
I'm gonna stick my neck out and say it's the tall building on the corner of New England Street and the turnoff for Sainsbury's.
Norman wasn't in the first book. I don't believe he is in episode two either as we have been told he hasn't been cast yet.
Additional:
• The interior police station scenes were shot in the new Worthing tax office in Teville Gate, Worthing.
• On the back of filming two episodes of Grace, John...
Textbook grizzling.
It wasn't controversial. What wold have been controversial is if he had allowed those goals to stand. It was only controversial if you can't be arsed to follow the Laws of the Game, and think you can have the self-entitlement to win however you like.
The Albion Roar, in association with Phil Shelley of OldFootballShirts.com, is pleased to announce that, following the auction of our red 1985/86 Brighton & Hove Albion match-worn shirt, which sold for an amazing £1,470, we have made the following donations...

From memory, this is a third-choice shirt.
We started the season with the blue shirt (obvs) and, I believe, the previous season's white shirt (different design) for the second kit. Then November/December time, we played someone where neither kit would do, so we created a red version. And we did...
It's not clear (at present) exactly when else these shirts were worn.
However...
One - it was only that season (85/86)
Two - given the teams we were playing that season, it's possible they were only worn another three or four occasions.
Three - the only other players to wear No.9 for the rest...
