Loads of Albion connections. Darren Freeman, Stuart Tuck, Paul Armstrong, Tommy Fraser (and his brother James), Sam Gargan. Sami El-Abd (brother of Adam). Joe Keehan (son of Kevin). And everyone's favourite pantomime villain Scott McGleish. I think all that's worth a tenner of anyone's money.

The expected gate receipts from Tuesday night was £13,000, don't forget there was an awful lot of kids there who paid two quid to get in. Take the £8K to pay back to the Albion and that leaves £5K, so I'm not sure where you get £25K from. They didn't earn £20K from food, drink and the raffle.

Under normal circumstances the home side keeps all the gate receipts from prestigious friendlies, hence the reason why smaller clubs are keen to put these games on. However it has been well publicised that Lewes were in the poo financially a couple of years ago and nearly went out of business...

I did some work at Lewes FC yesterday and talking to Adrian the GM he said that they had sold over 1600 tickets, so not many left now and definitely no pay on the gate.

I don't know how anyone can try to defend the increases in parking charges. The fact is that Brighton's economy relies on visitors to the town and a significant number of them want to drive here. If they come for a day out that includes a bit of shopping, a meal, a walk along the seafront and a...

I don't know how to attach youtube video but check out these lyrics. Longer by Dan Fogelberg Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you Stronger than any mountain cathedral Truer...

According to a bloke at the Lewes match yesterday.

I haven't trawled through all the other stuff on here re Saturday so if it's been discussed before then I apologise. What I found strange was that having spent the best part of £4m on players we started the game with 8 of last seasons League 1 regulars and a goalkeeper that wasn't good enough...

I sometimes have an empty seat in the Family Stand because whilst I have three kids that share coming with me it is not always convenient for any of them to come with me due to other commitments or simply the fact that 10.30/11pm is late to bed in the week. I have asked the ticket office if I...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will experiment with one of the kids' ipods, it not so important if I wipe one of theirs.

I've got quite a large CD collection and I thought it would be a good idea to put some of it onto an ipod via an itunes libarary on my laptop. Over the past few months I have enjoyed puting together playlists and generally organising it all so I only have the songs I like and can cut out the...

I give you a Uruguyan manager named Danny Bergara. He was manager of Doncaster Rovers during the 1997-98 season when they were relegated to the Conference. They set the record for getting the least points, winning the least games and having the worst ever goal difference of -83. There was a...

If it's a player from any time period it would have to be Peter Ward. If it's a player still playing then my choice would be Bobby Zamora but it would need to be in the next season or two before he's past it.

At a quiz I was at, one team turned up in full 1970s gear. Big wigs, sparkly cat suits and platform shoes. Team name - 'We thought it was a disco'

Anyone know what happened to them?

I think Boys In The Old Brighton Blue was written by the bloke that used to be the lead singer in Brighton punk band the Depressions.

The Amex is 'football heaven' and no-one in their right mind would prefer it to Withdean However Withdean will always have fond memories for me. It was where I first got to take my son to see the Albion and on a warm late summer evening it wasn't a bad place to watch a game of football. I don't...

I don't get all this there would be complete chaos if tickets were checked. There would be no need to check every ticket at every game. If there was the potential for very visible spot checks then most people would go and buy a book of vouchers to avoid the embarassment of being refused onto the...

From a personal point of view I think it is an excellent idea. I paid an extra £60 for travel and I feel a bit of a mug every game when I know that half the bus from the park and ride haven't paid anything. However I still don't understand why there couldn't have been spot checking of tickets...

He was a good player well before Gus came to the club, however he used to have a tendency to produce an occassional moment of madness with a poor back pass etc. He has removed this from his game since Gus came. I once overheard a conversation where Dean Wilkins was explaining why AEA was his...
