    I was already excited for tonight...

    Glad someone else gets goosebumps. When this comes on I have a go at STOOOOOOOOOOREERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR but everyone in WSL looks at me as though I'm mad, the kids shuffle their feet and look the other way ... tumbleweed. You get the idea.

    Newmarket Inn - how long to walk to Amex?

    Timetable is here ... http://www.buscms.com//uploadedFiles/brightonbuses/tt28-160912.pdf Buses every 10-15 mins before the game ... where to get off is obvious. After the game buses are much less frequent but the 10:07 is stress free (even time for a quick drink). To get there, head for the...

    Those of you with less than 100 posts

    Getting there ... Should make it to 100 some time in 2018. Why don't I post more? It's a bit cliquey. You'll probably find a large proportion of posts are made by surprisingly few people who shape NSC. Nothing wrong with that - it's what happens in groups. But not all of us are strident...

    millwall away

    1979 (?) Gillette Final at Lord's was same day as Millwall away. I remember being very grateful for an excuse to give The Den a miss. Clear memories of standing in front of the Tavern, beer in hand, chanting: "We all agree, Ian Botham's a wanker" but no idea what the score was except for the...

    Most unexpected Brighton fan sightings?

    Came out of an airport in Sweden with posh totty Finance Director and Rugby bore twat from Cap Gemini straight into the teeth of a blizzard that made your nose hair crackle. There was something familiar about the baseball hat the driver was wearing. So I greeted him with the mandatory...

    Parking at Lewes

    Park in The Newmarket on the A27 between Lewes & Falmer - every few mins there's a bus from outside the pub to the ground. Buses back after evening games also more reliable than trains with the added advantage that they stop across the road from the pub. The cherry on top: there's a farmer's...

    chelsea match tiks

    Ordered 2 on 1 July - no sign of them yet Ordered 2 on 25 July - arrived in two days email confirmations received immediately Money also taken for both immediately All looks a bit random to be me. I'll just arrive a bit early with confirmations in hand if the missing tickets don't turn up.

    Stats - Posts per day?

    This brings me up to 50 posts in 9 years. At least I can control myself unlike that gobby Geordie. Perhaps that's your cut-off: less than one post p.m. I'll be back in a couple of months to see what you think :wave:

    Druv

    I can see your point but its spirit relies on the use of dialect. It's sticking two fingers up to people who come down here with their fancy London ways. Not sure it could have been expressed as elegantly using estuary english (or the Edwardian equivalent). To me, the whole point is that it...

    Druv

    Some sources for "druv" ... Sussex has always maintained an obstinate identity symbolised by the pig symbol and the motto 'won't be druv' [The Companion to British History, Routledge] Sussex won't be druv - local proverbial saying, early 20th century; asserting that people from the English...
