    Interesting piece on Watford - free to view (for now) on The Times

    Not that it matters ... they ain't going up. But I know a team that is :rave: Loans allow Watford to dream of the high life Gary JacobApril 19 2013 11:04AM Watford’s transfer policy has caused plenty of controversy this season but the rumpus is likely to get a lot more heated very...

    Boro attendance.

    Copied off another site as at end Feb. Gives you some facts to work with. I'll try and dig out the mileages later ... seen 'em online somewhere.

    Early leaving

    This! Leaving early is the symptom. The underlying problem is the transport.

    Help me out here!

    There's a reason why 130 years after his death "This singularly important exhibition is the first ever retrospective devoted to the portraiture of Edouard Manet" ... it's shit. Dull, uninspired, mediocre and even the Dejeuner sur l'herbe is a smaller version of the famous one. She'd be better...

    Are there any 'Instagram'-style video camcorders for that authentic '70s look?

    Ah, the eternal struggle to define authentic. Bet you never imagined UNESCO's finest heritage minds have had a go ... http://whc.unesco.org/uploads/events/documents/event-443-1.pdf And that was trying to circumvent the procedural difficulties created by the less culturally aware Venice Charter...

    Brighton Pub Name Changes

    That was it - Seagull Tavern. Thanks for putting me out of my misery :thumbsup: Used to have pints of shandy in there (about 14p) after playing Sunday League (Div 13) for Goldstone Valley Rangers. Always had to arrange drivers. Not to avoid drink driving (we all did that) but because hardly...

    Last season I took stubs from a couple of away games to ticket office and they added the points there and then ... give it a go.

    Brighton Pub Name Changes

    Back to Hove ... This one's had an extended identity crisis over the years. I only have a hazy recollection of its various identities but its history goes something like The Sackville BooBoos The Sackville then ???? Hove Park Tavern Plastic pint pots for home games and an incredibly...

    Handing my notice in Friday.

    Totally agree with Hart's Shirt. But. I'd been reasonably senior in an organisation for four years, tootling along quite effectively and was lined up to open a shared service centre in Prague. Some poisonous twat got promoted in Finance and slowly, quietly, inexorably the wind changed and I...

    Best player to play against the Albion in Brighton

    Yes, Sol Campbell was amazing that night but stand out for me was Bobby Charlton. He was PNE's player manager in about 1974. Fantastic to see him grace The Goldstone - he ran the show and they stuffed us 4-0 (I think). James Milner as a kid on loan to Swindon tore us to shreds at Withdean. He...

    Top five games for atmosphere at the goldstone that you attended

    That only alllows me one every 6 seasons so it's almost impossible, but these spring to mind: Wolves LC round 3 1969. My first 30k crowd. We were winning 2-1 at half-time. Lost 3-2 though. It would be like Bournemouth v Everton today. Bournemouth boxing day 1970 ... scary or what. "SuperMac...

    Current Average attendance?

    The capacity is out of date but that's a different problem. Look at the Brighton record and you will see the attendance for Saturday is listed as "--,---" Their software has treated this as a zero and so the average attendance has been calculated as (25,518 + 24,594 + 26,594 + 0)/4 = 19,176.5...

    Away Days... Waste of Time

    We got a free pie and free car parking. Bargain, especially as I didn't go to the first game.
