    It's Maggie Thatchers Fault

    That says more about the people on your street than it does Thatcher. People are just as friendly where I lived then as they are now. People are quick to criticise (yes, with good reason in some cases, blah blah blah), however there is great hypocrisy they appear to revel in the wealth that it...

    It's Maggie Thatchers Fault

    Yes, I pay Council Tax. Don't forget, the poll tax wasn't a new taxation, it was a replacement for Rates. We would still be paying tax either way, in whatever form. Arguably PT was a better system than the council tax we have now ended up with. It was Major and especially Blair governments that...

    It's Maggie Thatchers Fault

    Yup. I assume they're not ALL still one the dole now are they? Individually, there will always be winners/losers resulting from whatever policies from BOTH parties. For sure some people got "screwed" under Thatcher, ALSO some people got screwed under Blair/Brown. You can either spend the rest...

    It's Maggie Thatchers Fault

    You make your own way in life. The problem is, when (the weak minded) are unsuccessful at that, instead of retrying (i.e the stronger minded) they want someone to blame. Whether that's Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Tories, Labour is neither here nor there. Some people just don't want to make...

    Warnock

    Quite. Just seen MOTD and thought I'd put it further in context, he said he'd rather be here than at Portsmouth or Brighton or any other club in the championship Sounded like he just wanted to say any clubs and Portsmouth and Brighton just came to mind first. It could have been any of the...

    Arsenal players that pledge loyalty one year and go elsewhere the next

    Eh? I like a discussion about footy and such like, this involves talking about teams other that that of whom I follow. I certainly do NOT support Arsenal - my dad does and so does quite a few people I know, so I'm "aware" of issues at Arsenal, that's all. Anyway, why did you step anywhere...

    Arsenal players that pledge loyalty one year and go elsewhere the next

    True. For many years the justification was, rightly, because they had spend a shedload on a new stadium and didn't want to end up in a dire financial situation like many clubs. This is good for the long term, however in the short term it limits their budget. We are probably getting to the stage...

    Crawley Crowd

    Is it really that "big"? I was guessing that they had low turnout because of the size limitation. That not being the case, is 2/3k simply what they can expect normally? What have Crawley been getting over the last 5 years? Is 2/3k a jump and they can be happy with those crowds? Personally I...

    Arsenal players that pledge loyalty one year and go elsewhere the next

    Arsenal, title contenders for many years (despite no silverware) look perilously close to not even making Europe. I can see Liverpool, Spurs, Man U, Man C and Chelsea ALL finishing above them unless Fabregas/Nasri are well replaced (not necessarily by big names, will Ramsey/Wilshere shine?). I...

    Blackpool tickets nearly gone

    Got my ticket ordered online yesterday morning. WSL ! wahey, 1st amex game for me. Seems like as long as you order on the day they come out, you will get tickets. Make sure early on day for Cripple Palarse, Wet Sham & Leeds - sorry can't think of a silly moniker :D Still gotta figure out how...

    Single P&R voucher

    I can't find info on single vouchers (for P&R) as all I find is as below: "Will it be possible for fans who cannot attend most games to purchase single vouchers?" Yes, details to be announced in due course. I bought a ticket, online, for Blackpool game, will a voucher come with that? I can only...

    Third highest attendance of the round

    To be fair, there is still quite an element of novelty, people wanting to see the first night game etc. Still a good size crowd but I suspect closer to 10k in the 1st round next year. Happy to be proved wrong though! :D

    CD to MP3 help

    The space that mp3 (there are other formats, AAC is better but will depend on what your music player supports) is largely dictated by how good a quality you want the resulting music. You can compress them a lot (i.e. a low bitrate) and it will sound poor or compress less and have them a high...

    So what happened to the expected travel chaos?

    The reason I mentioned coming off at Pyecombe is that the last time I saw a game a few months ago, it was slow traffic all the way from just after Pyecombe all the way to the A27/MillRoad roundabout. Have in my head that it will be a swift, albeit longer, shortcut......

    So what happened to the expected travel chaos?

    The Mithras House option seems interesting. I would be travelling down the A23, coming off at Pyecombe, across to Clayton then down the Ditchling road, through Coldean to Mithras park. OR I could park in Coldean? The other option is to use the Mill Road P&R. Is this ultimately going to be a...
