As self-deluded twaddle goes, it is up there with 'If Archer hadn't done what he did, we wouldn't be at Falmer now...'. Yes, Scally's actions ultimately gave us a liferaft - but it was the shitty one with holes in the side and no oar. No philanthropy from Scally here, just self-interest.

No. No-one is going to admit that. It's the reverse of the tens of thousands who say they saw Bob Marley at the Lyceum in '75, or the 20,000 who saw The Jam at the Brighton Centre in '82. No-one was chanting about us f*cking it up. Nada, personne, nae bahstad. Didn't happen etc.

We're on BBC Sussex tomorrow at 8.50am talking about the show.

Not exactly 'based in Brighton'. It's merely a venue for visiting professionals.

A fitting tribute that all of the club directors were there, his old school friends (there was service for another of Paul's schoolfriends taking place at Downs Crematorium at the same time) who sang the school song, and all of the Falmer For All team, plus many friends who simply knew him...

I'd imagine we're compliant with most of that stuff already. There is additional media seating which has been installed at the back of the WSU.

What, the ones who despise the notion of destroying the planet? Yeah, outrageous. :facepalm:

They're eight miles away. The view isn't spoiled - it's enhanced.

There's also the small point of all the gubbins and stuff which needs to be built on the pitch for the presentation stand. Probably can't get done if there's thousands - or even hundreds - on the pitch. Last Monday was for us. Next Saturday, should it happen, will be for the players.

I saw Paul in the press area before the game. I asked him if he was going to cover the game from a Brighton fan's perspective. He said he wouldn't, and couldn't. It wasn't his job. "But what if you asked nicely for an opinion piece; a vanity piece of your own?" "Well, yes, I'll ask. But my...

That aggravating spunkbugle who also got Reinelt's boots, I bet.

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done But we with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but we would be those Who wouldn’t say so till we’d tried. So we buckled right in with the trace of a grin On our face. If we worried we hid it. We started to sing as we tackled the thing That couldn’t...

Bollocks to the concourse, I'd have it on the bandstand. Dunno. No conversations have taken place yet.

Give over. Do you really want one?

True, but it is toe-curling. Give me 'F*cking Ada' by Ian Dury & The Blockheads instead.

I thought Leeds United were right behind us in our promotion bid... ... about 19 points behind.

It's about Tony, Chris, the players and the fans. I don't think anyone else has been quoted. I haven't seen anything from Paul Barber, Martin Perry, Derek Chapman etc. either.

Decent society, on the other hand, will feel differently. Your self-important contempt for the fans who supported us (as you clearly can't disseminate between the actions of a club and its fans), and are supportive of us now is pitiful and pathetic in equal measure.

When you get searched at the entrance, you can ask the stewards to put the bag in storage. There's one near most of the entrances. You then go and collect it after the game.

The closing song was 'To Sir, With Love' by Lulu. In 1997, 2017 would have seemed an epoch away. In 2017, 1997 feels like a four-minute song ago. Monday is going to be emotional, for sure.
