To be honest I don't think much needs changing. Like you say the opinion that it is too right or left wing is solely down to the person saying it. The ignore thread thread option has been a godsend imho. Keep on keeping on I say. No one is forced to be a member, read posts, or participate here.
The Brighton station thing has been going happening occasionally for a few months now. Really annoying if youve got a connection to make given how often trains run late making that connection hectic.
So broad Manc accents implies a connection to Manchester doesn’t it? I’m not that fussed about it all really as I’m well into middle age and too old to care about things like this so was merely trying to explain to someone that didn’t seem to realise where it came from.
It's because most of them are glory hunters with no connection to Manchester at all who picked a successful team when they were young. I'd wager the vast majority of non-local Albion fans around the UK have some sort of connection to Brighton or Hove or Sussex in some way.
The grassy knoll near the train station (opposite the shop) is University of Brighton property so you'd only be chastised by their security. The grassy bank outside the East stand is fine to bring your own as seen plenty of folks drinking cans there.
