If you're going to give footballers key worker dispensation then I suppose you'd have to give it to Strictly contenders as well because there will be people who'd like to see them too. If not, can someone please justify giving it to one group and no other?

Yes, it must have just been promotion. Apologies. What a run in that was. For me the final lap began with the last Goldstone floodlit game, against Barnet I think. All of those games were contenders for the greatest-ever victory, especially the draw at the end.

I knew I should have trained to be a lawyer.

The only thing about this is that Wigan players were on the lash the night before the match, having already won the championship. It is said that at least one player arrived back at the hotel sensationally late, through a window. You're right though; fab result and a big step in the climb to...

There was a great line in Minder, when Arthur talked about Little Bopper and Big Richard.

The rock n roll shouter from Macon Georgia... for me, one of the four premier league rockers of the 1950s. I saw him perform in Brighton at the start of his comeback tour - he pretended to have a heart attack whilst standing on top of his piano. The other three were Fats Domino, Jerry Lee...

Fair point although nothing should stop veteran cars, bikes, commercial vehicles and the Brighton Burn-up. They help make Brighton what it is, in a nice way. And what about the speed trials?

I'm not sure that anyone other than the odd poster has suggested behind-closed-doors and no relegation.

Someone on NSC mentioned it once but I haven't heard it from anyone else.

Pretty optimism is all I've got! (I'd be pleased if opposing managers told their teams that Albion players won't be up for playing these games. It might make their own players even more laid back.)

No relegation makes perfect sense if the season is curtailed early. If there is still football to play then it would turn almost all games into unwanted friendlies. (If games are to be played our best hope is that our opponents regard them as can't-be-bothered friendlies. Notwithstanding the...

There should have been an 'In people's imagination' option. Can't vote for any of those. Sorry.

Something's gone wrong with my tablet. It says at the top of the screen that this is the Brexit thread.

Agree. If anything, the sight of footballers running around in deserted stadiums possessing all the atmosphere of the moon will emphasise just how far we now are from normality.

Oh I see, you've just given up giving them any money and supporting them in person.

I don't t think that the thread was aimed at people who gave up supporting the Albion years ago.

Indeed, but only Hancock among the senior ones. Others, Truss and Williamson most obviously, base their Brexit position on what they think their PM wants.

The cabinet was selected on the basis of them being Brexit true believers. Only Hancock among seniors was a Remainer, albeit of the flakey variety. Johnson wanted DimDom as his stand-in because he was 'sound on Brexit'. It's more of a cult than a cabinet and like almost everything about the...

I am not sure who if anyone has suggested playing the matches with the threat of relegation removed. It would be absurd to do so. Wasn't the suggestion of 'no relegation' made in the context of concluding the season early? That would be entirely different.

The after-match coach at the Amex has lately been a vehicle of despair, quiet and sombre. We keep coming back though, season tickets at all four grounds the Albion have had to call home and these days, after 50 years of support, perhaps 30 games a year. We love it still, although if this season...
