Well, Mr Barber replied to my previously posted questions by about 3pm this afternoon. Only just checked my email or I would have got them up sooner.
Some of the questions are predictably avoiding the issue / no comment type responses, but as a whole Q&A it will no doubt interest a few people...
The transfer fee and wages of Stephen Dobbie added up to around £650,000 during his time here.
Leo Ulloa was signed for around £2million. Presumably not on peanuts.
I think the issue last season, if there was one in terms of budget, was that it perhaps was not managed well enough. A lot of...
Inspired by the feedback regarding last week's Q&A with Paul Barber, I put together another few questions which I have sent to him.
Blog on them HERE
But what questions do other people want answering?
Coincidentally, I did this post earlier and have sent the question to Mr Barber. He might not answer mind..
The questions every Brighton fan wants answered
I could have given this thread a better name.
CITY COLLEGE LEAVING AMEX
Seems a real shame for the students and sad to see one of the stadium's community links go.
Bridge was never realistically going to sign for us once clubs with the financial clout of parachute payments joined the race.
I never expected us to sign him. He was hardly going to take an £80,000 a week drop in wages.
Agree with your senitment but for the Amex to be half empty this coming season, around 8,000 season ticket holders would have to not turn up. And, as they will already have paid for their tickets, won't impact too much on finances in the short term.
He was never going to sign for us this season was he?
I think we should just enjoy the fact that for a season we had a player who earned £80,000 more than we paid him. And he was good.
I sympathise with much of what the original post says.
But, I think it as much a case of falling out of love with football in general as Brighton & Hove Albion specifically.
For fellow fans to be just saying "Bugger off and support Crawley" and "good riddance" is missing the point. I imagine...
Thank you for the positive feedback. Have a few more pieces lined up which might possibly interest people but don't want to spam up NSC.

New York Rangers in the NHL. Been very fortunate and seen them at the MSG 7 or 8 times and on the road in Montreal and Toronto. Go and watch Guildford Flames for ice hockey fix in the UK.
New York Knicks. Again, been lucky enough to see them at the MSG a few times and one road game in Brooklyn...
From the looks of things, once the new training ground is built the club may be able to use it to attract top (ish) young talent from abroad and continue the trend started by the signings of Maksimenko et al.
Whether we ever see top young English talent produced from it as regularly as Palace...
